I'm a kitchen editor with expensive taste – but this is the £16 Christmas gift I'm buying for everyone this year

Lydia Millen kitchen with hob in shot.

Gifting homeware, and more specifically kitchenware, is controversial. Many people claim that it's a no-go, but I'm all for gifting items that loved ones will actually love and use all the time, and an olive oil bottle fits the bill for this festive season.

I was gifted a ceramic olive oil bottle last year, and it's been my most used and admired item on my kitchen worktop. Mine sits on a wooden tray next to my hob, creating a pretty set-up on my worktop that is also handy for everyday use. I know it might sound a little unexciting, but I'm ready to bet it will be a crowdpleaser for anyone in your life - from the hard-to-buy-for friend to the cooking fanatic.
