Kitchen aid attachments like the meat grinder, or pasta sheeter (though it might be 100 even, tou can find it cheaper just Don go to boutique ass stores like sur la table or something) they are durable if taken care of, are super useful for someone that likes to try new stuff in a kitchen like pasta making or sausage making and can save money in the long run (turning meat scraps into ground beef or being able to make lavash flatbreads instead of getting pizza) this is predicated on the person already owning a kitchen aide mixer tho

I'm actually trying to think of something too. My brother's birthday is coming up and it would be nice to gift him something a little more original than the usual bottle of fancy gin.
I thought about getting him a rotisserie attachment for his gas grill, but it turns out he already has one. Maybe that's an idea you can use, though.
Maybe one of those sous vides everybody's raving about?
Or a really nice Iberico hamleg? That might be something.

Depends on the person, but if they already have an interest in cooking they should already be pretty well stocked, so maybe buy them a shitton of a really fancy ingredient. Someone gave me truffle oil and I meme'd out so pretty decent mayo with it. Maybe get them $99.99 worth of saffron or something that won't go bad too quickly.

A stand mixer is what I would personally like right now, some of the smaller ones go for under $100.

For around 15 USD you can get the zest size microplane. It's good for hard cheeses, zest (the outside of fruit), turning garlic into a paste (even quicker than mince and smoosh), coconuts, certain spices like nutmeg, making onions fine for indian dishes, etc.

Basically it shreds firm things and turns soft vegetables into a puree.

Spend the remaining almost 80 dollars an undyed single-bodied stiff silicone spatula and the remaining 50 on drinks and snacks to make it look like you got them a lot.

The whistling kettle has been life-changing for me. I have ADD and putting water on for tea and then forgetting about it totally happens all the time. The whistle has saved this kettle from its predecessor's fate of being forgotten on the burner so long that it was totally charred and had all its paint flake off and its handle melt.

I actually bought her the whistling kettle because we had picrel that I've bought for nice teas and she kept overfilling it, and overfilling is bad for a kettle.
