They love cooking and you love them, make them happy with something off this list

Use it to scrape things up, scoop up chopped vegetables, smooth the side of a frosted cake, level off measuring cups, cut biscuits, or as an extra wide spatula. Humble but mighty, it might be the underdog Christmas present that will win the day!
8. They already have 5 instant pots, but do they have extra sealing rings? These things are life savers.
