Making candy is high on the list of cooking projects I’d love to delve into, and this digital candy thermometer will help make that goal a reality. It was a clear favorite in our test of the best candy thermometers, providing fast and accurate readings, and it’s nearly 40% off the original price. This useful gadget is definitely going on my wish list.

Soft Cheese Warmer 

Great to have on hand for impromptu entertaining, this warmer will ensure your soft cheeses are properly warmed. All it takes is one tea light to heat the stainless steel warmer, and in 15 minutes, you’ll have perfectly spreadable cheese. The plate is also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Pair the warmer with a wheel of Brie or Camembert for a winning host gift.

Après Ski: 100 Cozy Drinks to Warm Up Your Winter 

I’m always on the hunt for more cocktail books to add to my library, and this new release is required reading for the winter months. Combine the book with a set of glassware that is ideal for hot toddies and spiked hot chocolate. While it might not be a trip to the slopes, your thoughtful gift will make anyone feel warm and cozy.

OXO Brew Twisting Tea Ball Infuser

If you’re tired of wasting expensive loose-leaf teas to make a full pot, these clever single-serving tea ball infusers are a slam dunk. They are fun to use, easy to clean, and make infusing a single cup of loose-leaf tea as simple as a tea bag. Great as a combined gift with a tin of premium loose-leaf tea.

Filthy Martini Cocktail Kit 

For the Martini fan, this kit couldn’t be more perfect. It combines everything a fan of the classic cocktail could want: delicious olive brine, blue cheese-stuffed olives, pimento-stuffed olives, and a set of cocktail picks. Just don’t forget to include a bottle of gin or vodka.

Soligt Cookbook Stand 

I’m searching for a cookbook stand for my own kitchen, and this adorable wooden piece caught my eye. It’s versatile enough to hold both cookbooks and tablets and doubles as decor when not in use. It’s currently on sale, so don’t sleep on this deal.

Fabbri Amarena Wild Cherries in Syrup 

In my opinion, these Amarena cherries are superior to Maraschinos and have become my go-to garnish for Manhattan cocktails and Rob Roys. The cherries are smaller and more tart than Maraschinos and add an extra complexity to any cocktail. The jar is definitely worth the splurge and should last a while. Add a bottle of bourbon or rye for an extra fun cocktail gift.

Coop’s Peppermint Hot Fudge

Matching the flavors of the holiday season, this peppermint hot fudge makes a great stocking stuffer. Serve it over ice cream, add it to your hot chocolate, or just eat it straight from the jar. Whichever you choose, it’s perfectly indulgent. The brand also offers a 2-pack of their original hot fudge and salted caramel flavors, that just happens to be on sale.

 SuproBarware Bitters Bottle Set 

This collection of three bottles is perfect for any bartender who wants to upgrade their at-home cocktails, providing elegant containers for bitters, tonics, syrups, and infusions. The set includes corkscrew dashers and stoppers and will add a decorative addition to any bar cart. Pair it with a book about the history of bitters, for the ultimate host gift. The set is currently on sale, so be sure to grab yours soon.
