The Ultimate Last Minute Kitchen Gifts

I am such the procrastinator when it comes to the holidays. Each and every year I say I am going to get things done early and it rarely ever happens. I do remember one year when I had everything done early.

One.

I like to think of my procrastination in a positive light. Basically, I tell myself that I thrive and work best under pressure. It gives me less time to think and second guess myself.

But because I like to give gifts that have anything and everything to do with the kitchen, I decided I would get a little better organized and share what I think are the best last minute gifts. Why? Because these are things that I have personally grabbed as last-minute kitchen gifts for my friends and family.
