The $35 Le Creuset Holiday Gem I’m Buying for My Kitchen (It’ll Sell Out!)

In the words of Mariah Carey, the unofficial queen of Christmas: It’s time! Now that November is here, you can finally dust off all of your seasonal decorations and get into the festive mood. When decking out your porch and living room, don’t forget about giving your kitchen the holiday treatment, too. After all, it’s likely where you’ll be spending most of your time over the next few months, whipping up cozy recipes and dishes for get-togethers.

If you’re after decor that’s both cute and practical — those of us with tiny kitchens definitely are — then I need to get this $35 gem on your radar. Le Creuset has become my go-to destination for seasonal kitchen gear, and its new Noël collection is just as adorable as I’ve come to expect from the brand. My favorite item by far is the pine tree-shaped spoon rest, which will add some holiday cheer to your kitchen and see a ton of use over the next few months. See why it’s earned a near-perfect rating!

We all have our staple pieces of decor that we know we’ll hold onto for years to come — and the tree spoon rest is bound to be one of them. It’ll certainly last long enough, if our experience with Le Creuset products is any indication. The brand has crafted the spoon rest with its high-quality stoneware, which is coated in dishwasher-safe and wear-resistant glaze. 

The glaze is as vibrant and beautiful as it is sturdy. You can opt for the Artichaut green color if you want it to pop against your countertop, or you can snag the neutral white hue if you’d rather go for subtlety. Either way, this gem is sure to earn compliments from all of your guests. It’ll keep your table and counters clean, providing enough space for your serving utensil. The three ridges around the edge — Le Creuset’s signature look — also have the benefit of keeping your spoon or spatula from sliding off. The spoon rest expertly marries function and beauty, which means that it’ll likely never leave your countertop (at least, until the holidays are over).

Average Rating: 4.9/5

“This spoon rest/spatula rest is really attractive. The color is beautiful and is a great addition to my kitchen. It was a gift, and even though it is holiday themed I will use it beyond the holidays. It is a great addition to my kitchen and my Le Creuset collection. It is both beautiful and decorative along with functional and practical. Thank you!!” — Bella Sedona

“Purchased two. Perfect touch in the kitchen for Christmas!!” — Lynne

“This dish can be used for so many things during the holidays! My sisters all loved it and commented how ‘cute’ it was by my stove!” — Scooze

Le Creuset’s seasonal spoon rests tend to sell out quickly — such as the flower-shaped one from the spring collection — so don’t wait too long to get your hands on this version. I know I won’t! In fact, I’m debating adding two to my cart to give another as a gift. It’s basically a guaranteed hit for anyone!
