Every year, I look for items that would be fitting for the cooks and food and wine lovers on your list. This year, I have some great ideas that I hope will make your shopping a little bit easier. Many of these are on Amazon, so you can easily shop from the comfort of your home.

LiFu Stainless Steel Electric Wine Bottle Opener with Foil Cutter

This is a conversation starter as well as a great way to open bottles of wine. It's also easy to use. The electric opener removes a wine bottle cork with the gentle push of a button. It includes the foil cutter. Unlike other electric wine openers, it features a transparent corkscrew shell that makes the cork removal process completely visible. If you want to make it a bigger gift, select a bottle of wine to go along with it. Amazon, $29.99

There are a number of Instant Pot cookbooks that have just come out and would be a nice addition to this gift. Amazon, $119.95
