Martha Stewart just shared her favorite gifts to give ahead of the holiday season

The book is a great gift for any Martha Stewart fan (or anyone who needs a little help in the kitchen).

Stewart isn't the only fan of Henckels! This is Amazon's No. 1 bestselling block knife set with over 13,000 five-star ratings.

"Great set of knives for a great price," said one shopper. "The set includes a sharpener, which I have yet to use since the knives are very sharp. I like the weight and balance of the knives. I am a casual cook, but I do appreciate a nice knife set. The assortment covers a little of everything. I am a fan of the bread knife. For the price, this is a great set with a lot of versatility."

Amazon shoppers rave about these knives in the reviews. The high-carbon stainless steel cutlery is tarnish-resistant and rust-resistant. The knives also go through at least five checks before shipping out, according to the brand. Plus, with a built-in sharpener, you can retain the knives’ sharpness as you use them.

"Awesome knife set," said one home chef. "So happy with my purchase of this knife set. I have had them for a few months now and they are amazing. I like how they perform. They are sharp, sturdy, comfortable in my hand. [I] like all the variety of sizes and functions."

Have a coffee lover in your life? This is the ultimate coffee and espresso maker and it will last for years to come.

"Great and durable," said one five-star Amazon fan. "I've had this espresso maker for five years now and use it daily. I buy German coffee brands, so I always have high-quality, good-tasting lattes that beat any latte at the coffee shop ... I recommend this machine and I would buy it again."

This espresso maker has a milk frothing arm for making lattes, cappuccinos and more. And nearly 8,000 coffee lovers rave about it in the reviews at Amazon. 

"I looked at a lot of espresso machines ... expensive, cheap, manual, auto, brands, non-brands and ultimately this is the one I chose," said one well-researched shopper. "It's a quality cafe brand. I'm a simple person so I didn't need all the bells and whistles... . With that said, I like a good espresso/drink and this machine does not disappoint. It's easy to use. The portafilter works great for pre-ground and fresh-ground coffee. The pressurized function piece of it is perfect because I do not weigh or have a specific ground. I just pack it in there and my espresso comes out great every time."

We have to admit, we'd love to receive a Vitamix this holiday season! The brand makes top-of-the-line blenders. Stewart said it's “the best machine to puree” all kinds of "soups and autumnal things."

According to Amazon, more than 10,000 people have bought this machine in the last month too. 

"We've had this for several months now and use it mostly for smoothies, peanut butter, mayonnaise and occasionally cream soups," shared one buyer. "It's great for all of that, but it does a superb job making peanut butter. My Cuisinart food processor did a good job with peanut butter, but the Vitamix is so much better."

Ninja is another great, trusted kitchen brand with powerful and durable appliances. This blender has a 64-ounce blending jar and it has three speeds and a pulse option for crushing ice, frozen fruit and more. 

"Love this blender," said one happy customer. "It works like a charm, well-made and crushes ice in the blink of an eye. Three speeds and pulse whips up just about anything you put in it. Really a powerful blender. Love the individual cups that come with it. A good value. Easy to use."
