Nothing says the holidays like the smell of tasty treats baking in the oven. Though there certainly can be too many cooks in the kitchen, there can never be too much cookware. So whether you're playing hostess with the mostest or gracious party-goer, here's a list of kitchen accessories sure to please holiday reveler.

Mood Bottle Openers

Turn that frown upside down with a holiday spirit. These playful bottle openers (available in "Crazy" or "Happy") are sure to lift anyone's mood, even the grouchiest of grinches.
food reusable produce bags square

Reusable Produce Bags

One of my favorite purchases of 2010 was a set of these reusable, fabric, drawstring produce bags. The handy bags make the perfect stocking stuffer or a lovely, larger gift paired with one of the company's stylish, reusable grocery bags.
food geometry pasta book square

The Geometry of Pasta

A graphic-design-loving foodie's dream, this beautiful, black-and-white book is part art book, part history book, part cookbook. The Geometry of Pasta is made up of an alphabetical presentation of pasta shapes, accompanied with recipes ideal for each type of noodle.

Folded Salt and Pepper Cellars

These two mini porcelain vessels will elevate the elegance of any holiday table. Don't just pass the pepper but pass it in these two beautiful bowls. (Brass spoon available from Pigeon Toe Ceramics for $9.)
food hand fork mitsubai tokyo square

Hand Fork and Hand Spoon

This set of flatware just makes you want to reach for a warm, wintery stew. The kawaii cutlery from Japan is named for hands but to us looks more like gloves and mittens.
food nutcracker square

Nusskubus Nutcracker

Finding modern updates to classic tools can be trying so we couldn't help but be excited when we spotted Adam and Harborth's beechwood whackers. One cube features cutouts for nuts of every size and the second is used to strike them open.
food cammeo_campbell square

Cammeo Jar

Though I currently keep my dry goods in Ball jars, If I could, I'd store them in a selection of colorfully striped Cammeos. Each jar comes with six rubber bands, each in a different hue, so you can visually code your kitchen and its contents.
food opinel kitchen knives square

Opinel Kitchen Set

Long on my personal wish list, this four-piece, French knife set includes a parring knife, serrated knife, curved knife with a serrated back edge, and a peeler. Design-lover plus: the packaging is as nice as the knives themselves.
food wine pourer normann copenhagen square

Wine Pourer

New this year from Normann Copenhagen were two sets of wine stoppers from French designer Aurélien Barbry. My favorite of the two is the Wine Pourer, which features a cork stopper whose top pops off to expose a metal spout.
food le creuset stoneware oval dish square

Oval Dish

If cast iron is beyond your budget, a Le Creuset stoneware dish will light the face of any home cook. It's great for casseroles (though I've even made a pie in mine) and can withstand temperatures as high as 500F and as low as -65F, be washed in the dishwasher, or warmed in the microwave.
