    I love the topic, especially the price range–under $25. I can’t walk into a bed, bath and beyond without spending $100 or more on kitchen gadgets, most of which I will never use. Amazon and I are old friends so ordering isn’t an issue. I played around a little on your other sections and was really impressed. You took time to put all these special prices, discounts and savings together yourself for your readers instead of just regurgitating someone else’s efforts. Hats off to you!  The only slightly negative comment is that there are a few kitchen items over $25 in your list (yeah, I checked each and every one of them out). 

    • Alyce says:

      Hi Cathy, Thanks so much for the feedback and for checking out all the items! Everything included in the list was under $25 when the article was published, so anything currently priced higher than that will indicate that the item is not priced as well as it used to be. 

      Rest assured, items are removed if their price goes over $25, but it’s a manual process and sometimes there is a small delay before the items are removed from the article. So sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

    This is such a great list of cooking gifts. I never knew I could get affordable gifts like this on Amazon.

    They are all nice, but my best pick is the flexible plastic cutting board. I like the attractive colors and the fact that it doesn’t occupy much space. In addition, I can dish wash it. That’s great.

    I have bookmarked this gift post for future purposes.

    Thank you.

    Cheers.

      Hello Muslimah! We have a bunch of those flexible plastic cutting boards and they get a LOT of use in our kitchen. We love that they are lightweight, effective, don’t take up much space, and can be washed in the dishwasher! Definitely a kitchen product that we highly recommend!

    I think my favorite was the Nessie Ladle. That is so cute and in my favorite color turquoise. You really gave me such a range to choose from and I’m going to bookmark your post as I have a few cooks in my family who will love these handy gadgets. I thought your choice was very practical for a change as often these nick-knacks end up cluttering our draws and not used. But these would be so helpful, especially the cast iron handle holders, what a brilliant idea.

    I have one of the open/close whisks and I love that it doesn’t fill up my draw space. Thanks.

    • Alyce says:

      Hi Lily, Thanks for sharing. I definitely like smart designs like that folding whisk that doesn’t take up too much space!

    Wow, I’m so glad I found this article. The microwave popcorn maker is quite appealing to me. One for my kitchen would be great. I see that it has a lot of wonderful qualities, such as making popcorn in a few minutes, being easy to store, and having a dishwasher-safe bowl. Aside from that, it’s really affordable, and I’m looking forward to having it in my kitchen.
    I’d also like to have the pot and pan protectors/anti-slip pans separator. I like that they are bendable and cleanable and that they can protect my hot pans.

    Thank you for this post.

    • Alyce says:

      Hi Lio, I have that popcorn popper and it’s a great little gadget that gets the job done with ease. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

    Hi there,
    Wow absolute Piece, You have outdone yourself this time. This is probably the best, most concise list of cooking gifts. I never had the idea that there were Amazingly cool Kitchen cooking items one could get at low prices as this, These are times where articles like this are really helpful to the common man. The SLOW BREW SLOTH Tea Infuser caught my fancy, for the fact that Sloth design is made from food-safe, BPA-free silicone that is tasteless and will not affect the flavor of your tea.
    I am glad I came across this, Thanks for sharing this epic piece, I would Love to share it with friends.

      I’m a big fan of silicone kitchen products. They are durable and some of the most utilized items in the kitchen — the sloth tea infuser gift takes it up a notch by being useful and also super cute!!

    Not everyone of us sees shopping as a fun, for me it is a mental stress of having to make a choice, not just choice, but the best choice. Been a male, having to choose a cooking gift is a nightmare cause I don’t know what to go for an would the person like it, but going though this makes me see a lot of good choices to make at avoidable price.

    • Alyce says:

      When giving gifts, it’s helpful to remember that it’s the thought that counts the most, even though we can’t help but want to gift things that someone will truly love and value.

    Thanks for another good list of gift ideas that I’m browsing as I do my holiday shopping. I like that there is a variety of unique kitchen gifts that include practical items and also some things that are just for fun. I could probably do all of my shopping from this single list alone (it really helps that these are all affordable). 

    • Alyce says:

      Hi Harry, I have definitely received some great kitchen gifts over the years! Some gadgets are just wicked smart and make meal prep and cleanup much, much easier!!

    Wo, thank you. You have done a splendid job. I can’t imagine all these items that come in handy can go at such low prices. This is indeed a post that everyone with a kitchen should bookmark

    I especially will consider the Crook to Cook handbook. I know I am a mess when it comes to kitchen but hopefully with these resources, I will start improving.

    Thank you for sharing your research and providing directions where we can find the items.

  9. Jack Stephens says:

    This site is laid out very well. I would like to see a categorized dropdown menu under the gift ideas though, so I could more easily find things in a particular area, like pots and pans, utensils, etc. But I really like what I see. Lots of good, quality items for gifts or personal use. Thanks for providing all this in one great site!

    • Alyce says:

      Thanks for the thoughtful suggestion Jack! It will be taken into conseration as the site is always looking for ways to improve!

    You’ve covered two of my favorite topics here, kitchen gadgets and items under $25! That you’ve covered 36 of them is outstanding. Looking through your list I have found a few favorites, especially the Bodum Pavina Glasses, the garlic chopper and the Zerroll Ice Cream Scoop. With the holiday season around the corner I’ll be saving your post for when it’s soon time to order some holiday gifts as you’ve really found some solid ones here. Thank you!

  12. Feochadan says:

    What an excellent list of inexpensive gift ideas.  You’ve hit the perfect time of the year when many of us are starting to scratch our heads for gifts and your selection is awesome.  I’ve always wanted one of those Nessie Ladles.  I had NO IDEA that you could get a microwave popcorn bowl.  What a great idea and it would save a ton of money over buying microwave popcorn in individual bags.  I could go on and on but I’m mainly seeing gifts for ME!  LOL  Very well written!

    • Alyce says:

      I’m glad you’ve found a couple of cooking gift items that look interesting to you. The popcorn bowl is something we enjoy in our own home and have given as gifts as well. It’s a great item that gets a lot of use!

  13. Dane says:

    These are really nice suggestions of gift and the prices of each of them is really unbelievable. I have often had the thought that these low priced gadgets are usually of low quality of even fake, sadly I’m very wrong in that aspect. I woukd take a quick rush to my kitchen and see what I could get from these list to gift my wife with. Big thanks for sharing this post.

    • Alyce says:

      Well, you’re wise to suspect that if a price is too low that the quality might not be at a level you would like. Fortunately, products on Amazon will usually have plenty of reviews so you can get more opinions on the quality of the product without having to take the seller’s word for it. 

  14. My Daily Pointers says:

    Hi,

    I’m very happy to have come across your article. My mom does alot of cooking especially during festive periods. I have been thinking of the perfect gift for her and your article has helped in that regard.

    I think the thick flexible cutting board and the grips would be a perfect choice. This would be helpful as she uses a napkin for grip instead. Although they are thick, is there a tendency that the cutting board mats can absorb liquid? If possible, it would go a long way to help reduce the friction on the kitchen table.

    Thank you once again for this helpful article.

    • Alyce says:

      Hi there, those cutting boards are not absorbent, rather they are flexible sheets of a relatively thick plastic-type material that is bendable. They would certainly protect the table, but wouldn’t absorb liquids. They are fantastic though and it’s great to have all 4 of them handy when prepping a big meal!

  15. donnaker says:

    Wow!! It’s awesome gadgets at a reasonable price. All gadgets are unique & beneficial. I love cooking from my childhood. But nowadays I don’t get enough time for cooking, these gadgets help me a lot. I really want to buy stand up paper towel holder & elevate kitchen utensil to make my kitchen easy & comfortable. I also gift my mother from those gadgets & she was very happy to get that.

    • Alyce says:

      Fantastic choices! It’s great to have smart pieces in the kitchen that are designed well to make working so much more efficient.

    An informative post and thank you for such a thorough research. The prices are very good. I would be interested

    best regards

    • Alyce says:

      Those Lodge Pot holder mitts have been awesome in our kitchen and are used pretty much every day. The silicone mats are also very useful, even if we haven’t been baking as much (due to the heat of the summer)… they’ll start coming in very handy as the holidays approach!

  17. Sondra M says:

    Wow, you have assembled a great list of kitchen gadgets.  I was originally shopping for my sister who loves unique gadgets.  Then I ended up seeing other items that would appeal to some of my other friends.   

    The Nessie shaped kitchen ladle so cute.   What a great idea.   I like the turquoise color also.   I think I want one for myself also.  I am glad that you included it in this list.
