With the holidays right around the corner, it seems as though everyone is searching for the perfect gift. Sometimes shopping for gifts is a straightforward process, but let’s face it, at some point we all have struggled to find a thoughtful gift for a special person. If gift-giving has become a challenge for you, then we know you understand the occasional frustration that comes along with holiday shopping. But even those of us who fancy ourselves excellent gift-givers sometimes work harder than we’d like to find an item that is the right combination of exciting, practical, and meaningful.

As you consider which items to purchase for your friends and family members this year, we can make the gift selection process a little easier. Though it may not be the first thing that comes to mind, cookware and bakeware is the type of gift anyone can enjoy. Here is why you should be wrapping up NUCU cookware and bakeware with a bow this holiday season.

1.    Everyone Needs It

If you think about it, everyone uses cookware and bakeware, and you don’t need to be Wolfgang Puck to appreciate an outstanding sauté pan or a remarkable cookie sheet. High-quality kitchen tools are always thoughtful, practical gifts because everyone cooks and bakes to some extent. Even if your loved one isn’t a master chef, good kitchen tools make cooking and baking an enjoyable experience. If the people on your list spend a lot of time in the kitchen already, they will be impressed with NUCU products and continuously inspired to create something delicious. And if your loved one doesn’t cook at home that often, an incredible piece of cookware or bakeware may be the friendly nudge that they need to get back into the kitchen.

2.    It’s built to last

As the old saying goes, “they just don’t make things like they used to”. This is especially true for most cookware and bakeware, but NUCU products are the remarkable, reliable exception. While other cookware and bakeware items tend to wear out easily and quickly, our products are built well and stand the test of time. We strive to produce items that are thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted because we don’t ever want our customers to be anything other than impressed. NUCU products are manufactured by Vollrath®, the leading provider of cookware and bakeware for the professional foodservice industry, and we know what it takes to bring quality to the kitchen. When you gift a NUCU product, you can rest assured that you provided your loved one with a durable kitchen tool they know they can depend on.

3.    No one thinks to buy it for themselves

If you’re being honest, when’s the last time you or someone you love has splurged on high-quality cookware or bakeware? We use these items so often that we sometimes don’t notice when they start to show signs of age or wear, and even if we do, replacing them is not usually a priority. We don’t often spoil ourselves with brand new kitchen tools, which makes these items the perfect gift for anyone on your list. Exceptional cookware and bakeware is an investment in any household and show our friends or family members that we care for them and know their worth.

4.    It’s usable (in a fun way)

So many family moments start in the kitchen.  Memories of everyone cooking together in the kitchen are some of our most cherished and special family events.  Gifting cookware or bakeware is a wonderful way to help your loved one make more of those unforgettable memories while also providing delicious food for themselves, their friends, and their families. Whether they enjoy preparing food with a group of people or want to spend some serene alone time in the kitchen, our products will help your loved ones create better results and a more fulfilling experience. Cookware and bakeware products are enjoyable gifts that can be used over and over again, promising years of fond memories.

5.    It’s appropriate for a wide variety of occasions

Whether you’re shopping for someone’s birthday, wedding, new home or major holiday, cookware and bakeware is a generous gift that fits any occasion. It’s always in-season and you never have to worry about remembering fine details such as shoe or clothing sizes.

It can also be given as part of a larger gift. Many NUCU retailers offer onsite cooking classes. When paired with the gift of cookware and bakeware, these classes provide both an experience and a set of lasting useful tools that can be used time and time again.
