It's hard to buy kitchen gifts for other people unless you know
--what they have
--what their cooking style is
--what they need
--what they want.

Someone who has it all might be as thrilled with pretty new dish towels
as another person would be with a KA or a breadmaker. It's all
relative. Unless a new gadget is truly earth shattering, someone with
limited space probably will send it to a charity resale shop within 6
months.

When in doubt or on a budget, homemade food is usually appreciated.
