TIA Top Picks for Guys
Ninja CREAMi Deluxe
Have you jumped on the Ninja CREAMi bandwagon yet? It has 11 different functions to create all of your favorite frozen treats. Ice cream, gelato, milkshakes, sortbet – you name it and the Ninja CREAMi can make it! Best of all, the CREAMi can make a healthier version of your favorite frozen desserts. It may even help with that New Year’s diet.
The Ninja CREAMi is one of top gifts for guys, foodies, and more. Buy it for someone special on your list – and for this year that person is me!
Amazon Review: I can’t say enough good things about the Ninja Creami! This machine has revolutionized the way I enjoy frozen desserts at home. Whether you’re in the mood for classic ice cream, sorbet, gelato, or something more adventurous like a Creamiccino, this machine delivers perfect results every time.
TIA Top Picks for Her
COOKLEE Stand Mixer, 9.5 Qt. 660W 10-Speed Electric Kitchen Mixer
Anyone who bakes wants a stand mixer. KitchenAid could be considered the gold standard, but the cost of a KitchenAid mixer could be considered a Luxury Gift. This COOKLEE Stand Mixer has an oversized bowl, and comes with some standard accessories that are either not available or a separate purchase for a KitchenAid.
Amazon Review: I love this mixer!! – I bought this because I was making big batches of buttercream and various types of dough and needed something with a larger capacity than my standard mixer. This cute mixer works way better than my brand-name mixer and has more accessories. I love that it comes with a splash guard. It is super easy to clean and it looks pretty. If you need a bigger and reliable mixer, this is the one!
Where to Buy: Amazon $139.99 (Reg. $199.99)
Click and Grow Smart Garden 9 PRO
One of the things we miss in the winter here in the Midwest is fresh herbs from the garden. If she feels the same way, she’ll love this. The Click and Grow Smart Garden 9 Pro is app-controlled via Bluetooth. It has “App-controlled light features and light schedule. You can also use the companion app to become a plant expert, receiving information about plants’ care, use, and health benefits throughout the plant pod cycle.”
Amazon Review: So Cool! – This App and Touch Controlled Indoor Garden is such a cool and modern way to “garden”. It is almost gamified with the app and the touch controls, making it fun to check in on and care for. This is a big plus in my eyes because I tend to hop from hobby to hobby and my interest in each of them ebbs and flows quite a bit. I have seen those massive garden towers promoted on social media and I know that for me, something of that scale is out of my scope but this Smart Garden is perfectly on par. The set up was simple and a fun afternoon activity this weekend. It also looks sleek and high tech and can sit directly on the counter, depending on the available space you have. If you are in the market for an awesome gift and have the budget for it, this Click and Grow Smart Garden will totally WOW. I also think this product is a great way for those who might be homebound or have limited mobility to enjoy a gardening hobby without all the other stressors and/or supplies usually required.

Home Zone Living Electric Composter
Turn food scraps into compost in just a few hours. The Home Zome Living Electric Composter is one of our best gifts for her this season because it’s perfect for both gardeners and home cooks.
Amazon Review: “I was hesitant to buy this at first because I wondered how well it would actually work, how limited it would be on the food waste it can take, etc. I have been blown away. It is small, looks chic, fits neatly into the corner of our kitchen counter, has no odor, and runs very quietly when it is on (about a third to a quarter of the noise as a dishwasher). On top of that, it has been able to process nearly everything I have thrown at it–meat, egg shells, melon rinds, bread–even dead flowers and plants. After a few hours I’ve got a bucket of dirt that I use in my flower beds and inside planters. Not only that, but because there’s no food sitting in the trash, we don’t have fruit flies anymore.”
Where to Buy: Amazon
iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum-Wi-Fi Connectivity
There is no better gift than the gift of time. And this iRobot Roomba would not only save a lot of time, but would also give the gift of clean floors … all the time! It works with Alexa, is good for pet hair, carpets, hard floors, and is self-charging.
Amazon Review: Worth every penny, Great vacuum – This was the best investment I made this year this vacuum works excellent, goes from rug to hardwood floors, picks up every little bit of dirt then plugs itself back in when it’s done, now if I can only teach the cat to ride it.

“Display your art in lights with the Crayola Ultimate Light Board. Kids can draw a masterpiece directly on the surface and turn it on to watch the design shine. The bright LEDs built into the frame make the inks from the Gel FX Markers really glow. And when you’re done, just wipe the screen clean with any damp cloth for unlimited creativity!” ~ Crayola
Amazon Review: Kids love it! – I’ve bought a couple of these! It’s great for kids. I gift these to all the little cousins in the family. Gives them an alternative for coloring. We use it to make happy birthday signs for loved ones instead of boring papers. Love that you can place the markers right into the back for easy storage and clean up. Love how it makes the kid’s art come to life. Super cool art toy to have!

Nintendo Switch™ Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe Bundle
Everyone. Loves. Nintendo. If you have a kid (no matter what age) on your list that doesn’t have a Nintendo Switch, get them one. It will be their favorite gift.
Amazon Review: Console – This console is about the best thing you could get as a young lad. You can play on the TV, at home, in the car, on the airplane, or anywhere. It is simply amazing the versatility that this console gives you. It’s literally a Nintendo DS and Wii in one. It is extremely easy and fun to play with friends, for you can use two joy-con controllers or use one and give your friend the other. The games on it are just the best games Nintendo has ever made. Super Mario Odyssey gives you the adventure of a lifetime in 3d. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is probably my favorite game on the Switch, the amount of kart combos and characters you can use, huge amount of tracks that add up to 96 tracks, make a ton of fun for you and your friends. I love the competitiveness you can get into online and in the community.

Amazon Review: We love this! – We took this on a family vacation and it kept us all entertained and challenged. My son (6) was able to do some on his own and we did a lot together; my daughter (3) had fun handing us pieces. My brother-in-law had fun with it too and we got him one of the other versions for his birthday. It’s easy to keep in a purse for entertainment!

KLASK: The Magnetic Award-Winning Party Game of Skill – for Kids and Adults of All Ages That’s Half Foosball, Half Air Hockey
Games don’t have to be complicated to be fun, and with 500,000 games sold KLASK proves that simple games can be the best games. Invented in Denmark, KLASK is almost a Scandanavian take on air hockey, except ditch the electronics for magnets and you have a smaller table top version that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. All you need is two players and 10 minutes, but I guarantee those 10 minutes will spur countless rematches and tournaments.
KLASK may be made for players 8 and up, but I promise everyone in the whole family will be eagerly waiting for their turn to battle it out.
Amazon Review: Super fun game – I stumbled upon this on YouTube and was instantly hooked. Had to get it for the family. It’s been a lot of fun. I would recommend as a gift or for yourself, or a gift for yourself. It’s worth it.

TIA Top Picks for Coworkers
Desktop Punching Bag
Do I really need to explain why this makes a great gift for a coworker? Everyone has those moments of frustration during the day that they need to release. This gift is the perfect way to add some humor and relief to the workday.
Amazon Review: “The day I brought it into the office, I had multiple Co- workers stop by to hit it as we spoke over work. It’s a fun and a great stress relief in those moments when you simply want to let out some steam at work. It’s durable and made from great materials. I found it easy to set up and a great price for the quality.”

TIA Top Picks for Foodies and Party Hosts
The Beast Mini Blender
The stylist and minimalist Beast Mini Blender is equipped with a 600 watt motor that can blend, crush, and pulse to make all your favorite smoothies, cocktails, desserts and more. Your recipe enthusiast will adore this mini blender upgrade, and with its sleek design (available in five colors), it’s stylish enough to leave out on the counter—no need to tuck it away in a cabinet!
Amazon Review: Powerful and High Quality – The Beast Mini Blender was a great choice! I was tired of getting out my heavy Vitamix blender just to make a single protein smoothie. I started researching mini blenders and America’s Test Kitchen recommended this one. Nice color choices, easy to clean, the “Plus” came with (essential) extra parts: 3 sizes of jars, 2 straws, straw brush, several different tops. I highly recommend this powerful blender. If I needed a larger blender, I would consider the regular sized Beast, which is also an ATK recommendation.

Chilled Charcuterie Board with an Ice Pack
Equipped with its own secret chamber ice pack, the Latitude Board ensures your charcuterie board will stay fresh for the entire party. The outer moisture-resistant teak is ideal for serving meats and cheeses on, and a fully froze ice pack keeps it a chill 50-55°F for 3 to 4 hours. Perfect gift for the party host in the gang!
Amazon Review: Genius product! A must have!! – Ok, so I can’t say enough about how smart this board is!! I often use this in the Florida heat and it’s a game changer!! I love that it has ice packs that keep the surface cold and my spread fresh, and safe. It looks good too, such a well made product. The carry pouch was very handy when I recently had to bring a dish to a party, it was so easy to make my presentation and transport it to the party nice and fresh and ready to go, plus I had another icepack to make it last for hours. Once you have this you will never use any other!!

Do you ever weigh ingredients only to struggle to read the scale because the bowl is covering up the screen? The Fradel Digital Kitchen Food Scale & Mixing Bowl allows you to measure and mix all in one bowl. You can actually read the weight thanks to the easy to read display on the handle, and it eliminates the need to various bowls to weigh out single ingredients.
Amazon Review: “I recently bought the Fradel Digital Kitchen Food Scale & Mixing Bowl as a gift for my girlfriend, and it was an absolute hit! She’s a professional chef, and I knew she’d appreciate something that would make her kitchen work even more precise and efficient, but I honestly had no idea how much she’d love it.”

Sous Vide Cooker Kit with 30 Vacuum Bags
The CATTLEMAN Sous Vide Machine is a great gift for the foodie or party host on your list!
Sous vide is a cooking technique that’s been around since the 70’s, but it’s become very popular in recent years. Why? Because sous vide allows you to slowly cook different foods at a low temperature and allows you to achieve a precisely regulated temperature. This puts you in total control of the cook of your food, it’s also great for serving large crowds or for more time flexibility when cooking a variety of dishes. Sous vide works exceptionally well when cooking proteins like chicken or steak.

Electric Warming Tray – Full Surface Heating,Rollable & Portable
At first glance the Intrusou Electric Warming Tray looks just like your everyday warming tray designed to keep foods warm, but there’s more than meets the eye. The three level temps allow you to keep foods hot, or just lightly warm to aid tasks like thawing or helping dough rise. It also rolls up compactly for easy storage or to take with your and use at place like picnics, ball games, and other places away from the kitchen.
This is a great gift for a foodie or a party host that likes to host camping trips, picnics, and more.
Amazon Review: Love this! – This warming tray is awesome! First, it is not big and bulking like a traditional warming tray. It rolls up for easy storage and travel and comes with a strap and bag to store it. We took it tailgating this past weekend and it worked great! (It does require electricity). We plugged it into our mini generator and kept several of our items warm. There are 3 heating settings too, which is great to have the different options. I was able to put 3 medium size aluminum trays on it. My friends loved it so much they plan to get one too!

LOVE MOMENT Electric Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer
Personally, I prefer to freeze and store food in jars and the LOVE MOMENT Electric Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer allows you to remove air to make your jarred goods last longer at room temperature. It also has a 4.5 star rating with over 9,200 reviews.
This is perfect for storing candies, making it a great gift for the foodie with a sweet tooth!
Amazon Review: Great Product – I like to store my dry goods like sugar and flour in mason jars. I’ve now started storing my leftovers in the jars because this helps keep them fresh longer. Super simple to use. Just put it on top of the jar with its sealing lid and push the button on top. About a minute later it’s nice and air tight. Buying extra to give as presents.
