Got a cook or baker in your family? How about a gadget-crazy husband? A grillin' fool?

Yep, I've got all three in mine.

We all know someone who loves spending most of their time in the kitchen, whether they're preparing the kids' meals or showing off their skills. This year, why not give a gift that your chef will not only love but use often? Check out what we think will be just the thing for that special person to savor. Here's our guide to best gifts for the home cook.

Gifts for the Home Cook

I've seen commercials for The "Ove" Glove and every time I say "I want one!" Grab a pair for $19.99/each at Kitchen Kapers.

Rösle® Collapsible Colanders open and collapse for more cabinet space and double as a steamer, $40, Sur La Table.

With the George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill, you can grill all year round and get that outdoor grilling experience even when it's snowing. $69 at Walmart. Plus, bring it to your next tailgating party!

I have a single serve coffee maker and I can't tell you how much faster and easier it is to make a quick cup. Plus, if I want French Vanilla and the husband wants regular, then we can both get what we want! Check out the Keurig® B30 Personal Brewer/Coffee Maker, $89.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond.

How about giving the gift of time. Although this isn't a gadget, we think that the Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home: 52 Quick Meals to Cook for Family and Friends, will help your cook create wizardry in the kitchen by offering new, fast meal ideas. That way, less time is spend cooking and more on other stuff (like eating!).

Keep your hand busy cooking and baking rather than holding a book with this Stainless Steel Cookbook Holder, $29.99, The Container Store.

Bake the best (and easiest!) pies and cookies ever next year with the Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer, $299.95, Crate & Barrel.

Get ready for Superbowl Sunday or have a more savory taco night by making your very own guacamole dip with this Guacamole Set, $34.99, Target. The masher can also be used for potatoes or berries.

Paninis are the new sandwich. Everywhere I go I see paninis, so why not save money and make them at home with a
Breville Ikon Panini Press, $79.95 from Williams-Sonoma.

Everywhere I look I see these slider grills. Why not be trendy and get your glorious griller this Electric Slider Maker for $19.99 at JCPenney.
