Chef Sarah’s Holiday Gift Guide 2025
Every holiday season, I get asked the same question: “What do you actually use in your own kitchen?”
So this year, I pulled together a little list of my must-haves for cooking, hosting and making a house feel deliciously lived-in. These are the pieces I use for supper clubs, cozy nights in, last-minute hosting…and really everything in between.
If you have a friend who loves to cook, a family member who’s always hosting, or someone who’s aspiring to become “that person who makes incredible food,” you’ll find something perfect here.
Each item was picked with so much intention — from small businesses I adore and designers who pour their craft into what they make to staples that stand the test of time. These pieces elevate the everyday ritual of cooking and transform hosting into a sensory experience.
Hope you find something beautiful (and thoughtful!) to gift.
Happy Holidays,
Chef Sarah
