My husband has been driving me crazy this week, asking me what I want for Hanukkah. Wouldn’t it be nice to get a surprise gift? One that you may have been eying for a while but never said? Here is a list of lovely gift ideas for a chef like yourself. Just hand him the list and let him make the decision!
While Hanukkah starts Saturday night, it goes for 8 nights so there is plenty of time to order from Amazon. If you are celebrating Christmas — there is plenty of time as well!
