Christmas shopping isn't always easy – especially when it comes to gifts for keen cooks or aspiring bakers. They'll always be delighted to find some brand new cookware under the tree, but if you really want to surprise them, I'd start with something they can put on the tree. Yes, I'm talking about pint-sized, cookery-themed decorations – like the utterly charming copper mini ornaments from Williams Sonoma.
They might seem like rather unconventional Christmas decorating ideas, but trust me: these will be greatly appreciated by any foodie in your life. Personally, my dream cookery setup involves some surprisingly similar copper pans hanging in my kitchen –a look inspired by Martha Stewart's '70s country kitchen, of course. Yet since my current kitchen isn't exactly cavernous, I'll stick to hanging charming replicas from my Christmas tree instead. Call it a happy compromise.
