KT Oprah's Faves 2023
There's a reason at-home breadmaking has gotten so popular in recent years: Bread is surprisingly easy to make, especially when you have a dedicated oven such as this one at your disposal. Le Creuset's beautiful cast iron oven is the perfect size for your average loaf. Plus, it comes with a deep lid that lets your creation rise to become fluffy and soft on the inside but crispy and golden on the outside — heavenly!
A few of our staffers own Corkcicle mugs, so we can attest that their tumblers really do keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for hours at a time. This particular tumbler is sleek and slim, so you can bring it everywhere with you and sip in style. Plus, you can never go wrong by gifting a water bottle of any sort and helping your friends stay hydrated.
Those who like spicy eats will love this versatile hot sauce set, which contains six flavors that can be added to all kinds of eats. Your Hot N Saucy gift set recipient can enjoy the Sweet Potato N Habanero mix, which is both sweet and fiery, the Black Garlic N Peri Peri sauce, which is bold and umami, as well as four other complex sauces.
Air fryer ovens are about as versatile as countertop appliances get, especially if you pick up this model by Crux. It has a whopping 10 cooking functions, including toasting, baking, broiling, warming, and, of course, air frying. Best of all, many of the functions are much quicker than a conventional oven, and little effort is required on your part to create all sorts of tasty eats.
If you're really trying to impress your giftee, we suggest Oprah's go-to coffee maker, the De'Longhi TrueBrew. The cool thing about this machine is that it requires neither wasteful coffee pods nor paper filters, so it's about as effortless as it gets. Choose from six beverage sizes and five brew styles: light, gold, bold, espresso-style, or over ice. You can purchase the coffee maker either with or without a carafe, though we say you might as well snag the full package.
No matter where you're going, you'll want to reach for a HydroBag. This innovative fashion find does double duty as a small crossbody bag and a water bottle holder, so you never have to choose between a backpack or small purse again. Place your bottle in the main compartment, and keep your credit cards, ID, and other important personal items in the front slot.
This four-piece set comes with every kind of grilling utensil you could possibly need, including tongs, a spatula, a basting brush, and a fork.

Any brie-lover would be delighted to receive this charcuterie board in the mail. It's not your traditional cheese board, as it comes with four ready-to-bake brie pastries: blueberry vanilla and Ginger, truffle fig and orange, chocolate espresso and raspberry, and rosemary sun-dried tomato and olive. Your giftee can simply pop them in the oven and enjoy cafe-quality pastries in the comfort of their own home.
Anyone who's serious about nailing recipes will get tons of use out of this sleek food scale. It's made by Zwilling, one of our favorite brands for all things kitchen-related. What's more, the scale is incredibly compact, so it won't create an obstruction, even in small kitchens.
