If your kids are anything like mine, they have get way too many toys and candy as it is. As awesome as those are for Easter baskets (if you're the kid), I'm always looking for non-food items to include as well. Whether your kiddo is already a mini-chef or you want to encourage them to get in the kitchen, these Easter basket gifts are practical and fun. The best part? It's a great invitation to spend time together cooking, baking and making memories. 1. Delish Kids Cookbook  |  2. Mini Utensils  |  3. Cinnamon Toast

You can never have too many cookbooks. Honestly, I don't know anyone that loves to cook, and doesn't love getting a new cookbook. Come to think of it, I know people who don't love to cook, but have to feed their families and always need new inspiration — and they would probably love a cookbook as well. These are all tried-and-true cookbooks I have in personal collection, but there are so many amazing ones out there. See which ones I'm eyeing for 2024 on my Cookbook Idea List on Amazon!

People get into cooking for all sorts of reasons. Whether it's a love of good food, an outlet for creativity, or survival (because we can't live on chicken nuggets and Taco Bell alone), having the right tools can help a new cook be more successful much quicker.

I've always believed that getting kids into the kitchen is key to getting them to try new foods and keeping an open mind about trying new things. I mean it hasn't worked with my kid so far - but maybe it will with yours. In the meantime, there's a lot of cute stuff to buy that makes cooking with kids fun. If you've got a foodie kid or budding chef, get ready to get messy in the kitchen with these holiday gifts. Tovla Jr. Knives My son started wanting to chop food around

These are all products I use as a busy working mom, so I can attest to their time and sanity saving value. A word of caution if you are considering purchasing any of these as a holiday, anniversary or birthday gift: tread lightly. It’s easy for moms to feel like underappreciated servants. A gift of an appliance doesn’t always translate as something nice for he – it can very easily come across as “Look, honey, a new way for you to do things for everyone else.” Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying don’t buy any of these.
