We were incredibly lucky this year to have scored some beautiful items for Christmas from friends and family. Naturally our gifts seemed to revolve around all things food and cocktail like, making perfect gifts for us!
Some highlights in our Christmas stockings were:
Our gorgeous tangerine Kitchen Aid artisan mixer! At first I wanted aqua but was definitely swayed by this awesome colour (and the fact that we got it quite cheap too!) I can't wait to whip up a storm in the kitchen!

Mark received this very handy cook book for our Webber BBQ, a little smoke box and some Jack Daniels flavoured smoking pellets. The cook book has some fantastic and very inspiring recipes and I'm sure that the Jack Daniels smoking pellets will get a work out for New Years Eve celebration, most likely for some ribs.

Tupperware! I can't tell you enough how excited I get over Tupperware. My parents are always awesome at getting some of the bigger and more expensive pieces for us at Christmas time. They are always the pieces that I say to myself "I'm going to buy that this year" but never get around to it. This year we received the potato and onion keepers which stack nicely in our pantry.

| Our beautiful Marimekko table runner. |
Our friend David went to great lengths to obtain this super cute Marimekko Christmas table runner! I'm sure that this will become our holiday table runner for many, many years.
We also splurged on some gifts for ourselves (and our friends too!) including a gorgeous Laguiole cutlery set each for us and the Coopers. I just love the bright colours and the knives cut through steaks like butter! There is something so cheery about having colour in the kitchen, it makes for some very happy dinner parties. It's soooooo pretty that it may have to feature in it's own blog post!
Was Santa kind to you in the foodie gifts? I sure hope so! Let me know what kitchen essentials came out of your santa stocking!
