There's plenty there that could suit someone on your list, but if you need more kitchen gifts for the home cooks and big eaters in your life, or a thoughtful host or hostess gift to bring to your circuit of holiday parties, you came to the right place."

"Still, while the holidays are all about giving, it's my personal belief that gifts should be approached in the way Martin Scorsese approaches filmmaking: one for them, one for me. So there may be a few things you might need or want, and I'll be the first one to say what you want to hear - go ahead, you deserve it!"
