Here’s a place to post about your 2025 food related holiday gifts.
I’ll start:
A whirley pop! 
Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Food Lab cookbook.
Crapanzano’s Chocolat.
A rubber mallet for banging my cookie stamps into cold dough.
An adorable embroidered apron.
A “Star Baker” award (has my name on it, but I photoshopped it out). 
An avocado keeper
a 2 cup measuring cup with a silicon lid
a contraption with a little handle to make eggs round in the frying pan
a metal coffee drip filter thingie for pour-overs
cheesecloth

is anyone making any boxing day food related purchases?
That apron is almost too pretty to use!
Agree, but life is short. I will use it! 
That’s why I said almost 
(Also, there are things I don’t use with certain staining ingredients, like turmeric and chilli powder, that are perfectly fine with everything else!)
I got a fancy olive oil/vinegar set. I’m most excited it came with two quality pour spouts so I can just refill with my pedestrian olive oil when they run out.
Nice gifts all! Here’s some of mine.
Also some zatar and West Coast Bay from Oaktown Spice Shop, and Castelvetrano olives from Berkeley Bowl.
My stepmother is a talented seamstress who specializes in making certain things from coordinating cotton prints, which she has a real eye for. Part of her repertoire is reversible aprons in a retro cut (with pockets on both sides!), and I specifically requested that she use dark colors on mine because I am hard on aprons.
Big fan of Oaktown Spice Shop. Their goods are fresh and high quality.
I received a gift certificate for a local company that delivers high-quality prepared meals, and a box of dark chocolates from Leonidas. I have a feeling a cookbook or two might still be coming my way, but we shall see.
I live this idea.
Me too, and it wasn’t even my idea! Hmmmff. I always love a surprise at Christmas, and I thought this was a rather good one.
my nephew asked if if ii’d like a chocolate csa.
i asked if it was a rhetorical question. can’t wait to see what’s in the first delivery.
How exciting!
Yes, sounds exciting! If you decide to post about this, count me among those who would be intrigued.
Me too!
