When it comes to choosing the perfect Christmas gift, kitchen items have never been so popular as more and more householders spend more time at the kitchen sink and oven, thanks to the increase in interest in celebrity chefs. Popular stocking stuffers include microplane lemon zesters, kitchen tongs (admittedly not very sexy but practical) and celebrity cookbooks. The keen cook might also appreciate a kitchen twine dispenser, a fish spatula, a butter boat or silicone oven mitts.
