Whether you enjoy trying new recipes, spend all day tending to your garden, or prefer to sit back and watch your favorite professional homemakers do their thing on T.V. — all of Martha Stewart’s millions of fans can agree that Martha offers the best tips for making a house feel like a home.
That’s why we rounded up a list of the very best gifts for Martha Stewart fans, including the multi-hyphenate’s favorite gardening sheers, a gorgeous Martha Stewart Cookware Dutch oven, a powerful wet-dry vacuum, and her pal Snoop Dogg’s cookbook.
A pair of Martha’s beloved pruning shears are just the thing for budding gardening enthusiasts and seasoned gardeners alike. “These are the best,” Stewart has said of Okatsune pruner. “Sharp as can be.”
The multi-hyphenate took to Instagram to praise this combination vacuum-mop that makes cleaning up (after your fabulous dinner parties, of course) a breeze. “This machine does it all,” Stewart said of the OmniForce cordless vacuum.
One of her many fabulous home-making books, Martha’s Entertaining, is a gorgeous collection of recipes, tablescapes, and behind-the-scenes insights from Martha’s breathtaking holiday parties. Plus, it looks gorgeous sitting out on a coffee table.
Martha’s famous friend wrote a cookbook of his own — and, while it’s full of Snoop’s humor and anecdotes, according to one of the book’s 2,000 five-star reviews, it also contains lots of “colorful, easy to follow recipes for good food.” Martha even wrote the forward for her unlikely bestie’s book!
The More You Know
Martha and Snoop’s friendship dates back to 2008 when the rapper joined the professional homemaker on an episode of her cooking show, The Martha Stewart Show.
If you’re looking for a funny gift for your Martha Stewart-loving friends, this hilarious take on the classic “Elf on a Shelf” doll is a winner. The doll comes in a box that one reviewer describes as “ready to gift,” complete with an elf hat, miniature floral arrangement, and a tiny golden champagne bottle.
A gorgeous pair of oven mitts is a gift that most any home chef would love to receive — and this watercolor-printed pair from Martha Stewart’s brand looks lovely enough to hang from a mantle. The succulent print makes them an even more personalized gift for those who take after Martha’s joint love of cooking and gardening.
This pretty Japanese teapot doubles as a piece of beautiful home decor — fill it with fresh-cut flowers to use as a creative vase. It’s made from cast iron and can be put directly on the stove to heat up water and comes with a removable stainless steel infuser inside that holds loose-leaf teas.
Martha’s love of Christmas is known far and wide, so if your giftee loves the holidays as much as Martha does, this festive mug will light up their day like string lights on a Christmas tree. The glazed stoneware mug is dishwasher safe and comes with an adorable matching top to keep your drinks hotter for longer.
The Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven from Martha Stewart’s line of home goods comes in “Martha Blue” and looks so pretty that we’d proudly display it on our stovetop. This braiser holds 3.5 quarts and can be used to bake, simmer, and cook up your favorite Martha recipes.
Once you’ve whipped up one of Martha’s scrumptious desserts, you can display your gorgeous goods on this 11-inch cake stand from the entrepreneur’s home brand. It’s made from a milky jadeite glass that gives the cake stand a retro feel.
These fantastic Dutch ovens are the right size for a festive side dish — we’d fill it with cranberry sauce or gravy and set it out on the holiday table for a Martha-eque tablescape. They’re made with the same sturdy materials as Le Creuset’s larger pots, with a festive star on the handle that makes them feel extra special.
Fun Fact
Martha Stewart was the first self-made female billionaire in the U.S. and has built her empire on cooking shows, gardening and cookbooks, and her line of home goods. Stewart began her ascent by starting a catering business in 1976.
This comprehensive cookbook feels like a blast to the ‘90s, making it fun to flip through for any Martha fan. It includes 20 menus for small and large parties, plus the recipes to go with them. And, of course, it contains gorgeous photographs of Martha’s spectacular tablescapes.
You can never have too many dish towels, and these jacquard dish towels are a useful and lovely gift for any homemaker. The set comes with four thick Turkish handtowels that look much more expensive than they actually are.
