by Lauren Busser Direct from the Designers™’ Editorial Director

Know someone doing a kitchen remodel this winter? Or wants to upgrade an aspect of their kitchen? Why not get them a gift that they will use for years to come. Whether the aspiring chef in your life loves to bake or you want to give them something to spruce up a kitchen design, take a look at these products for the holiday season.

Gift an Amazing Oven

A kitchen needs an awesome oven and if you know someone who is doing a kitchen remodel, just bought a house, or is building a new home, an innovative oven can make a great gift. One of our favorites came out just this past year.

The Viking® 30” Electric Double French-Door Oven opens with two doors that allow you to walk right up to the oven and place your dishes in. Imagine never having to pass a heavy casserole over a door again.

Not only does this oven offer the convenience of French doors but it also boasts the largest capacity in the industry and all of the cooking technology that Viking® is known for. This unit is outfitted with the TruConvec™ Convection System, Gourmet Glo® Infared Broiler, Tru-Glide™ Full Extension Racks, and RapidReady™ Preheat System. The wide range of exclusive finishes ensures that you will find a finish that fits your style and taste.

A Gorgeous Backsplash

One of the hottest trends in kitchen design right now is a custom backsplash. There are many style and design choices on the market and that means endless possibilities to design something that you or the new homeowner will love. Take a look at makers like Fireclay Tile for a wide variety of tile shapes, sizes, colors, and materials.

For the holiday season Fireclay just introduced their EDGE tiles. EDGE is tile line that consists of 3 modular sizes in 12 contemporary colors. The result is a modern look that features the timeless craft of handmade tile. These tiles are manufactured with a precision edge and made from 70 percent recycled clay. EDGE can be installed with minimal grout lines, which accentuate the long lean shape of these tiles. These tiles are perfect for anyone who loves a neutral look and a simple palette. They are available in 3x9”, 3x18”, or 6x18” making them the largest sizes available in handmade tile.

An Innovative Faucet

A faucet is a great gift for the holiday season. There are many luxury models out there that feature innovative and sustainable technology. One of our favorites this year is the Kohler® Sensate™ Touchless Faucet.

The Kohler® Sensate™ Touchless Faucet lets you keep your hands free so that you can speed through your cooking and cleaning tasks. The touchless technology allows you to enjoy a more hygienic kitchen environment while the intuitive Response™ technology detects your every move. Worried about false activations? Kohler® has thought of that. Sensate’s™ sensor is precision designed to prevent false activations when you are working on your sink area.

Underneath the stylish appeal of Sensate™ is a lot of convenient technology. Sensate’s™ sprayhead, for example, is magnetically connected via the new DockNetik™ docking system allowing the spreadhead to securely glide out and attach back in place when the task is complete. The hose is constructed with ProMotion™ technology. The result is an attractive, easy to use sprayhead with a durable hose and ball joint.

Whether you are in the market for a big ticket item or a smaller appliance, a gift for yourself or someone close to you, you can easily find a great gift for the kitchen that the recipient will enjoy for years to come.
