My Brother in Law is moving into his new house in a couple of weeks and I've have mentioned that he needs a new PC kitchen! I would like to do a PC gift basket but how should I show it? I'm so not a crafty person but I want it to be cute. I was thinking about a rectangular baker with some gadgets in it? Have any ideas? Thanks so much! I'm hoping to really score a good sale with him!
 
BBQ tools and spices
 
Batter bowl, scrapers, pizza cutter/stone/rack, Ice cream dipper...does he already have any kitchen products or is he starting from scratch?

Oh, micro cookers, rice cooker, knives, I could go on and on. (Trying to think what a bachelor would use, though.)

Package everything in cellophane and tie off with Twixit (include Twixits inside too!)
 
Don't forget the Easy Opener!
My husband LOVES "reg." set of knives, and the cutting board. As well as the 8" Saute Pan... He finally let go of his 18th discount store one a few months ago! LOL! And he's very picky about his spatula's. The new one they're bringing to the Chef's Tools would be perfect (that's the next one I hope to replace my husband old spatula with :D )

Maybe the Cooking for Two (or more) cookbook, so he can show his dates his culinary skills ;)

Thanks guys! Keep it coming!
 
I got my brother the kitchen shears for Christmas and he thought they were so cool!!! And he is HARD to impress!
 
hmmm it probably depends on what kind of Kitchen stuff he has... but you get him the essentials of what a kitchen needs if you don't mind getting it for him.

Pizza stone & rack, pizza cutter, 2 hotpad/trivets, basic utensil set, Utility Knife w/Sharpening Case, Cutting board, Food Chopper, 8" Saute Pan (heck he could probably buy himself a set of pans from you ;)) ...

What kind of guy is he? Does he like to cook?
 
Bryan's 2 favs are: Ice Cream Dipper and Quick Stir Pitcher
