What do you get the cook who has everything? Forget top-of-the-line dishware and appliances. For fun, unique and inexpensive gifts, there’s a whole slew of quirky yet classy kitchen gadgets out there—from hand-crafted serving platters to pig-shaped corkscrews—perfect for professionals and aspiring cooks alike. Here are some of our favorites.
BARTENDER SIX-BOTTLE WINE HOLDER

MUSICAL CAKE AND PIE SLICER
Have something to celebrate? With four seasonal tunes to choose from—Jingle Bells, Happy Birthday, The Wedding March and For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow—these festive cake cutters are the life of the party. www.kitchenware.co.uk
CIRCLE BARBEQUE SKEWERS
Serving meat-and-vegetable skewers on straight, wooden sticks isn’t very exciting. Mix it up this summer with these non-stick metal, circular barbecue skewers.

WINE-BOTTLE CHEESE BOARD
Get the wine-and-cheese lover in your life something truly meaningful and useful: a beautiful cheese board, handcrafted in Northern California from a recycled wine bottle. Each plate is made using an intense heat process to melt, flatten and gently cool the bottle. Personalize it with your choice of wine labels from an extensive collection. www.vineyard-designs.com
