It is exactly four weeks before Christmas, so the pressure is really great. From less than 2 Euros to more than 100 Euros, this is a wild, reliable, touching and completely ridiculous gift I picked from the 2021 AW 2021 shelf, whether online or on the street. 

Please remember to pay attention to those delivery times when important days are approaching.

For brands with a rich history of kitchen design, you can't go wrong with Alessi glitter made of iconic stainless steel or coated steel. The sommelier corkscrew designed by Alessandro Mendini is a pocket parrot that can peck off the cap or act as a classic corkscrew. Depending on the feather color, these birds should land in the 40-50 Euro zone, so be wary of high dealer fares. 

The Valerio Sommella Ribbon Peeler Sfrido is a cute steel, priced at 29 euros, or refreshed with the nose-shaped Savon de Chef. This is a small, sensual steel device that can be passed through your hands under cool running water Rubbing to remove all smells from fish to garlic, 18 euros. Pushing the price to classic coffee, you can't do better than the popular Brutalist style Pulcina espresso machine, which uses a stepped polished black to provide the ultimate handcrafted espresso.

For junior chefs, smoking can be intimidating, but there are some equipment, including handy guns, that can place the process under the trigger finger.
