You’ve probably noticed that Ina Garten is our North Star when it comes to kitchen and cooking inspiration. And, as it turns out, she’s also a pretty great source of holiday gifting inspiration, too! We put our best Barefoot Contessa thinking caps on (they’re actually chambray button-downs) and got to brainstorming about the gifts that Ina would totally give for the holidays. We’re willing to bet that she’s gifted one or all of these items to her BFFs (Lidey, Jennifer Garner, and Taylor Swift).

1. PepperMate Pepper Mill

Ina wants you to season your food like a pro, and the best way to do that is with one of her favorite gadgets: the PepperMate Pepper Mill. She’s even gone as far as to tell her followers on Instagram that it’s “the best!”

2. KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment

At any given moment, we like to imagine that Ina is making Jeffrey a gallon of homemade ice cream (the secret ingredient is love). The best way to do that is with the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker attachment, which makes the process a breeze.

3. Goodnight Bubbala

Fans of Goodnight Moon will love this parody, which retells the childhood bedtime story from the perspective of a Jewish bunny. Bonus: Ina contributed an exclusive, easy latke recipe just in time for Hanukkah.

Buy: Goodnight Bubbala, $13.69

4. Apilco Ramekins

If you know someone who wants to make personalized soufflés, mousses, or French onion soup like Ina, give them a set of oven-safe ramekins. Something tells us you’ll reap the benefits too. They’re the gift that keeps on giving!

Buy: Apilco Ramekins, from $14.95 for four at Williams Sonoma

5. Veuve Clicquot

We know for a fact that Ina and Jeffrey would sign off on a festive bottle of Veuve. It’s her choice of bubbly when it comes time to pop some bottles.

6. Double-Wall Insulated Wine Cooler

Ina loves a stainless steel wine bucket. See here for proof.

7. UrbanStems Flower Delivery

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Ina, it’s that fresh flowers brighten up any room. A flower delivery is the perfect way for loved ones to pretend that they’re in the Hamptons getting ready for a dinner party with friends.

8. Le Creuset Dutch Oven

We spotted this dreamy persimmon-colored Dutch oven in Ina’s kitchen and instantly added it to our holiday wish lists. Our bet is that your Ina-obsessed friends did too.

9. Fran’s Chocolate Caramels

Ina swears by the salted caramels from Fran’s Chocolates in Seattle. Get them for the Ina fan in your life who is both sweet and salty.
