9 Colorful Le Creuset Gifts for $100 or Less That’ll Bring People a Lot of Joy
If there was ever a brand able to delight your entire holiday shopping list, it’s Le Creuset. We’ve yet to meet anyone not wowed by the French company’s iconic enameled kitchenware and joyful color choices. (Even the names are wonderful: Pêche! Cerise! Artichaut!) And half the fun of a Le Creuset item is storing it on the stovetop or counter — so really, you’re gifting a piece of decor and a kitchen essential.
Ready to bring joy to your world in one fell swoop? Here are nine of the brightest, boldest beauties we’re shopping this holiday season. They all feature Le Creuset’s legendary expert craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and gorgeously glossy colors. And they’re all less than $100.
1. Heritage Fluted Pie Dish in Chambray, $56
This isn’t just a pie dish: It’s all the charm of a French country kitchen. Its beautifully sculpted fluting and soft blue Chambray hue complement everything from savory quiche to classic apple pie. And Le Creuset’s premium stoneware means even heat distribution for golden brown crusts and perfectly baked fillings.
2. Signature Oil & Vinegar Set in Sea Salt, $52
Our favorite gifts are ones we might not have thought to buy for ourselves, and this beautiful oil and vinegar duo falls under that category. Crafted from fine quality stoneware that protects the contents from light and heat, they ensure that each drop of fruity olive oil or rich balsamic stays delicious. We love the ombre effect of Sea Salt, a subtle mineral blue.
3. Heritage Loaf Pan in Rhone, $56
Every kitchen needs a loaf pan: From banana bread to meatloaf and even scaled-down casseroles, it’s a kitchen essential. We love this one for its fluted handles and the deep sheen of Rhone, a lush burgundy. With superior heat retention and distribution, it will make every bake a success.
4. Heritage Butter Dish in Nuit, $35
This elegant butter dish upgrade packs a daily dose of joy. It fits a single stick of butter (including wider European butters) and can go from tabletop to microwave to dishwasher. Nuit, a dreamily deep navy blue, goes with just about any kitchen color palette.
5. French Press in Shallot, $85
For a flavorful cup of coffee and a relaxing kitchen ritual, a French press can’t be beat — especially one this beautiful. A stoneware take on the classic glass carafe means excellent heat retention and a sturdy construction that will last for years. Shallot is a pale, earthy lavender that can complement a wide array of kitchen colorways.
6. Iris Collection Serving Bowl in Artichaut, $100
The petaled shape of this show-stopping centerpiece is inspired by the national flower of France. Bring it to the table filled with your favorite salad or pasta dish, or keep it permanently on display as a fruit bowl. Lemons especially would pop against the glossy green of Artichaut.
7. Heritage Square Dish in Pêche, $55
The Heritage Square Dish is a true multitasker. Its versatile shape makes it ideal for everything from roasting veggies to baking brownies — plus the deep sidewalls can stand up to the tallest, cheesiest lasagna. Pêche (aka “peach”) is a ripe pink that looks delectable all year long.
8. Demi Kettle in Licorice, $84
This kettle is — and this is a technical term — a cutie pie. Perfectly sized to make cozy tea for two or act as a robust French press, it’s made of durable carbon steel that heats water quickly. We love the dramatic black monochrome of Licorice, plus the nostalgic whistle it releases when the water boils.
9. Tarte Dish in Cerise, $54
It’s impossible not to smile when someone sets a freshly baked tarte on the table. This elegant dish‘s stoneware construction provides even heat without scorching, and the fluted shape makes for a stunning crust. Cerise — a tart red — will brighten any holiday spread.
