This year, get ahead of the curve by planning early. Whether you’re struggling with ideas for your own Christmas wish list or are searching secret Santa gift ideas, our staff has the inside scoop on the best Christmas gifts of the year. Celebrate the 12 days of Christmas at home with our staff-curated 12 days of Christmas ideas. 

12 Days of Christmas Gifts

Day 1: Retro Christmas TVs

Christmas is almost as much about decorations as it is about presents. That’s why Olivia, one of our in-store retail associates, loves our Retro TVs. The end-all-be-all of Christmas decor, Roman’s TVs come with tons of unique styles, wintery landscapes, light-up effects, and Christmas music.

Day 2: Hestan’s Rectangular Baker

Pat is a home cook and tablescape designer to her core – trust us, you should see her in-store displays. This Rectangular Baker caught Pat’s eye for its sleek design that marries style and function. Just another example of Hestan’s timeless craftsmanship, this baker features a highly responsive aluminum core clad in triple-bonded, polished stainless steel. Durable and warp-resistant, this piece is made for oven-to-table serving and will last a lifetime.

Day 3: Old Saint Nick Platter

Vietri is known for fine Italian serveware, and the Old Saint Nick Platter is no different. Arielle chose this hand-painted platter as the perfect way to serve Santa’s cookies. Inspired by Italy’s Santa Claus, Babbo Natale, this platter was hand painted by Maestro artisans to depict Santa’s preparations for Christmas.

Day 4: Lamson’s Vintage Series Knife Block Set

If you have a knife lover in your life, Jim’s got the perfect pick for you. Lamson is known for their New England craftsmanship, forging Western steel knives since 1837. Lamson’s Vintage Series Knife Block Set has everything you could ask for, featuring the three essential kitchen knives, a utility knife, and a honing steel. Leave it to Jim, Blackstone’s co-owner and resident knife expert, to choose the knife block that has it all.

Day 5: Ekelund’s Dish Towels

If you’re looking for a quality gift that won’t break the bank, Ekelund has you covered. Ekelund Dish Towels are some of my favorite items to gift because they have it all. Stylish designs for every interest, hand-crafted durability, sustainability, and a rich history. Handmade in Sweden since 1692, these towels come with a legacy that speaks for itself.

Day 6: Houston Llew’s Spiritile Frosty

Jennifer, Blackstone’s co-owner and merchandising queen, knows our products inside and out. It’s safe to say Jennifer knows which of our products are must-haves, and this limited-edition Frosty Spiritile was an obvious choice for this list. Houston Llew is well-known for his hand-made copper and enamel artwork, but Frosty is an extra special limited edition, with only 290 versions in circulation. Act fast to scoop up one of our 5 special edition spiritiles before it’s too late!

Day 7: Le Creuset’s Ceramic-Coated Cookware

Brendan is our expert on all things Le Creuset, and he couldn’t pass up the chance to share our newest acquisition. Of the many types of cookware, ceramic stands out for its non-toxic, non-stick capabilities. These ceramic pieces combine the style and quality of Le Creuset with the convenience of ceramic. This is the perfect gift for the cook in your life who prizes quality cooking and easy clean up.

Day 8: Chirpy Top Wine Pourers

Angela knows Blackstone’s like the back of her hand, so trust her when she says that these Chirpy Top Wine Pourers are the must-have product this holiday season. The perfect Secret Santa gift idea or stocking stuffer, these adorable wine pourers are more than meets the eye. With a durable stainless steel design that ensures a drip-free pour, this product features a hidden whistle that creates a melodic chirp as you pour.

Day 9: Epicurean Cutting Boards

If you tend to gravitate toward the practical and functional, Jim’s got the perfect gift idea for you. Epicurean cutting boards have it all – made from wood pulp fiber and approved for commercial food prep, these boards are gentle on knives, non-absorbent, non-toxic, and dishwasher safe. Get this for your friend or family member that’s always chopping, carving, or mincing.

Day 10: Räder Decorative Houses

If you have a minimalist friend who struggles to find Christmas decor that fits their aesthetic, look no further. Pat recommends these decorative houses for their elegant, understated design that embodies the Christmas spirit without being too in-your-face about it. Hand crafted using unglazed porcelain, add an LED light source for a gentle glow that’ll warm up any home.

Day 11: Rechargeable Spice Mills

For another practical choice, Jennifer recommends FinaMill. Their Rechargeable Spice Mills are perfect for the cook who loves fresh flavors. With the capacity to grind your spices of choice, you’ll never have stale, pre-ground flavors again.

Day 12: Chemex Pour-Over Brewer

I can’t live without my morning coffee, and I know I’m not alone. For that one friend who can’t let go of their boring drip coffee maker, invite them to level up with a Chemex brewer. This is perfect for the coffee-loving host who likes serving quality brews to a big crowd. Plus, who doesn’t love a gift that can be used immediately on Christmas morning?
