10 Mom-Approved Last-Minute Kitchen Gifts at Walmart

I don’t shop for kitchen items without asking for my mom’s opinion. Whether it’s cookware, a handy gadget, or a new appliance, if she doesn’t approve of it, it’s not going into my cart. That includes holiday gifts, too. As long as I’m not shopping for her, I run all my picks by her, and she was kind enough to share her knowledge with me this year, choosing 10 under-$50 cooking gifts at Walmart.

My mom, whose cooking is as good as a professional chef’s, chose gifts from Lodge, KitchenAid, Pyrex and more top brands that will make any home chef happy, starting at $12. Whether they love to bake, want to try a new cooking technique, or just need a cookware upgrade, these 10 items are must-buys, and they’ll all arrive just in time for Christmas.

Thyme & Table Acacia Wood Cutting Board

Walmart

My mom loves a double-duty product, and this wooden cutting board is one she has her eyes on. It’s made from durable, high-quality acacia wood that won’t dull blades. Plus, there are rubber grips on the bottom to prevent slipping and a groove around the edges to catch juices from running over the side. When it’s not needed as a cutting board, you can use it to create a serving platter. Pile on cheese, meats, crackers, and more for a classic charcuterie display.

Beautiful 3-Quart Air Fryer

Walmart

My mom is amazing at frying things. In fact, her fried chicken is famous in our family, but since she got the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore air fryer, she’s used it exclusively and says it makes a great gift for someone who wants to cook more in the new year. She loves how easy it is to use, the simple cleanup, and the perfect crisp it gives food. Plus, this 3-quart version is compact and can fit on a small countertop.

Crock-Pot 7-Quart Slow Cooker

Walmart

If you want to give a gift that lasts, my mom swears by this Crock-Pot that she’s had for five years. She says the three settings make it simple to use, the ceramic interior is simple to clean, and it’s portable thanks to the side carrying handles. My mom isn’t the only person who loves it either. It has over 5,800 five-star ratings from shoppers who said it cooks so well, meat falls right off the bone.

The Pioneer Woman Brilliant Blooms 10-Piece Melamine Bowl Set

Walmart

These bowls are one of my mom’s favorite purchases this year. She swears by their rubberized bottoms that prevent slipping while mixing, the durable, chip-resistant melamine, and the airtight lids that are great for storing leftovers or marinating meat.
