The following five items I would consider great gifts for anyone for any occasion.
1. 360 George Foreman Grill
“The 360 grill serves as a deep-dish pizza oven, a six-pocket quesadilla press, an omelet maker, or a pancake griddle – all you have to do is to switch the plates. Its patented, adjustable angled cooking surface allows you to cook steaks, chops, seafood, and burgers while leaving the fat behind.”You may buy it at Amazon: George Foreman Round Shaped 360 Grill. George Foreman “360 grill” sells for around $150.

A somewhat smaller version, as I understand, is around $112.00. See it at Amazon:George Foreman Grilleration.
2. Lean Mean Fryer
“During a special Smart Spin cycle that follows cooking, your Lean Mean Fryer uses centrifugal force to literally spin the added fat and oil out and off your food. During the spinning process, this deep fryer continues to cook the food through hot air convection to stay crispy and hot. Moreover, due to the unique basket design, food keeps its shape and doesn’t crumble during the spin cycle…A viewing window allows consumers to safely check food while it’s cooking without having to stop or open the deep-fryer.” George Foreman Lean Mean Fryer sells at Amazon for $137.00 George Foreman Fryer. Watch a short video there, too.

4. Coffee Bean Canister
“An ultimate protector against oxygen which surely ruins the best coffee, the BeanVac coffee bean canister stores a pound of fresh coffee quite safely. By removing the air from the container, the beans last much longer. Equipped with a simple yet effective battery-powered pump that sucks out the air to create a partial vacuum inside the chamber, the BeanVac coffee bean canister eliminates oxidization and extends the deliciousness and lifetime of your beans, keeping your coffee beans fresh for weeks.” You may buy it at Amazon: Coffee Bean Canister for $40.00.
There are a few less expensive versions with a lesser price and less features as well:More Coffee Bean Canisters.

5. Pan with the Digital Thermometer
I, personally, would consider it a gadget, but then again, I am not a pro.”This pan comes with thermometer integrated into its handle.” The price: $50.00.
Find it at: www.appliancist.com.
Last Christmas I wrote about a panini maker, which you may consider this season as well: Panini is a glamorized sandwich.
There is also a last year’s post: Holiday shopping in 3 hours or less which you may find interesting. The links may not be up-to-date, but you get an idea.
