After publishing over a dozen cookbooks and reigning over Food Network for just over two decades, Ina Garten has established herself as the queen of cooking in many dedicated fans’ books — including ours. Whether we’re whipping up one of the Barefoot Contessa’s desserts, adopting one of her hosting tips, or taking her shopping advice, her influence has made its mark on our kitchens on countless occasions — especially during the holiday season.

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, we’re already taking notes on how Ina sets her table and perusing her most popular Turkey Day recipes — which we’ve tested and (unsurprisingly) vouch for. I don’t know about you, but I’m already looking even further ahead to Christmas, and I just came across an Ina-themed item that’s going straight into my cart. You can put the queen herself on your tree with this ornament, which is on sale at Macy’s. It’s the perfect way to honor how much of an impact Ina’s had on our cooking habits — and it makes for the perfect gift for any Barefoot Contessa fan!

What Is the Cody Foster & Co. Store Bought Is Fine Glass Ornament?

If you love food- and kitchen tool-themed ornaments as much as I do and have already started your collection, then this gem will blend right in. Handcrafted with glass, this ornament captures the likeness of the Food Network star that we all know and love, complete with a subtle sheen that’ll make it stand out on your tree. The mini Ina is even holding a small dish in her hands, with one of her mottos inscribed right below. Any fan will recognize the familiar “Store-bought is fine” quote, which is one lesson that we stand behind every holiday season. (Sometimes, we just don’t have time to make something from scratch, and that’s okay. In fact, Ina has a whole list of foods that she encourages people to buy from the store.)
