Gift Ideas for a cook – A few nice ideas for something a bit different

Buying gifts for family members or friends can be a tricky task. A great gift is something that is thoughtful, and often something that the recipient didn’t even know that they wanted. A gift can be for any kind of reason; a birthday, a new home, a new job or retirement or, sometimes, just because! In a hugely sweeping general statement; people we’ve met who like cooking, will like gifts for their kitchens. It’s not always the case, but when they don’t have a burning desire for something else, a great little kitchen gift will always be appreciated.

Kitchen gifts can take on many different guises; they can be cooking utensils, eating utensils, small kitchen accessories and serving utensils. We have a really quite great selection of kitchen gifts at Pelican Pear; from great brands such Royal VKB, Koziol, Philippi and many others.

We have a selection of salt and pepper mills, which may seem slightly unusual gifts, but these aren’t your average, boring, normal shakers(!); the Pi:P Birds Salt and Pepper Shakers from Koziol – which is based on two birds sat in a tree, Angelo Salt Shaker and Diablo Pepper Shaker – who are in the shape of an angel and a devil, the superbly creative Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills – which surely need no explanation and the Step ‘N Pep Salt and Pepper Shakers – who are two funky dudes that just love to be involved in the hustle and bustle at the table.

Everyone loves something a little bit different when it comes to preparing their food, it doesn’t matter how much you enjoy cooking; funky utensils make it an even greater pleasure! When it comes to funky utensils – no one does it better than Koziol! There are stirring spoons, spoonrests, spatulas, straining spoons, a cake knife, scissors and kitchen roll holders to name a few – they’re all just superbly designed and will bring a smile to the face of any cook (or hanger on in the kitchen!).

For something a little different and that will really make an impression – why not make a gift of a set of cutlery from Royal VKB? These sets, made up of a knife, fork, spoon and set of chopsticks are from four different designers, who have created them for Royal VKB. They make a beautiful kitchen gift for that special someone.
