The Time-Saving Kitchen Buys Every Parent Should Have This Holiday — And What To Make With Each

Meet the gifts you'll be glad you treated yourself to.

Whether you’re spending it with your kids, extended family, or close friends, the quickly approaching holiday season is bound to bring everyone together to unwrap presents and dig into their favorite dishes. The most intimidating part of hosting the festivities though? The insane amount of time and effort you pour into said dishes.

While your top-notch time management skills (and let’s be honest — a babysitter) will go a long way into getting your table party-ready, the proper kitchen gadgets will help you get the job done in record time. With just a few smart buys, you can make charcuterie board you’ve seen on social media and your fan-favorite frosted sugar cookies without spending all your time standing by the stove. (All the more time to devote to holiday movies and eggnog!)

Scroll on to discover the time-saving kitchen must-haves from Crate & Barrel that every host should have this holiday season. Plus, get inspired by all the kid-friendly recipes you can make with them.
