Best Small Appliances for your Home

If you're living in a house and lot in the Philippines, you've probably heard a Jose Mari Chan song as early as the start of the "ber" season to officially signal the countdown to Christmas. It's a cultural thing that Filipinos are proud of! We celebrate Christmas the longest, and many even do their Christmas groceries way ahead before prices increase due to exceptionally high demand.

If you haven't decided on what to gift your family, friends, or colleagues yet, consider choosing a small kitchen appliance as a present. If you're a young adult who works your ass off to provide for yourself and your family, you probably also reached an adult stage of feeling giddy at the prospect of owning home and kitchen appliances that you have never imagined buying when you were still financially struggling.

Well, it wouldn't surprise you that your friends, family members, and coworkers would be just as happy and ecstatic if you give them small appliances as a holiday gift! And so, this article from Lumina Homes gives you a handy list of must-have kitchen appliances for yourself and the lucky recipient of your holiday gift this Christmas season.

Best Small Appliances to Buy as Gifts this Holiday Season

Ever seen a social media post of someone being so happy for winning an appliance at a Christmas party raffle? It is a testament to how appliances for adults and working individuals are a source of happiness when given as a gift. Below, check a roundup of appliances worth buying as a Christmas gift for friends, colleagues, and family.

1. Coffee maker

If the person you're going to send a Christmas present is a bona fide coffee lover, coffee makers are an ideal choice to render your recipient ecstatic about your holiday gift! A cup of coffee every morning, after all, is a relaxing way to kickstart anyone's day just before heading to the office or simply chill in an early morning weekend. An espresso machine will be every coffee lover's friend in the morning and any time of the day when the need to be caffeinated comes rushing in.

2. Popcorn maker

Introducing a popcorn maker! You probably have not thought about buying, let alone sending as a gift, a popcorn maker for the holidays. But almost everyone loves the buttery taste and aroma of popcorn! If people can make popcorn themselves, even better, right? During a film viewing with the family, a popcorn maker will be handy to make the staple snack when watching movies. Coming across this from our list is a sign to have your own, or one for a friend!

3. Electric hot pot and grill

Do you and your friends love samgyupsal, but don't have that much time to head to a samgyupsalan restaurant? Why not cook Korean food in the comfort of your home? A portable, multifunctional electric hot pot and grill will satisfy your craving for Korean food! Not only that: it will unleash the inner chef in you. This is definitely one of the best small appliances that you should invest in for its excellent provision for cooking and grilling at home or in your backyard.

4. Toaster oven

A loaf of bread with, say, mayonnaise is delicious already in itself. But toasting it will emit an irresistible aroma that is sure to captivate your palate. Toaster ovens will do just that: make your bread for breakfast or merienda extra palatable. This is surely a must-have kitchen appliance either as a gift for yourself or to a friend this holiday season. If you want a more energy-efficient alternative to a toaster, a microwave oven is equally a great choice for heating food.

5. Ice cream maker

If you love ice cream (who doesn't?), investing in an ice cream maker is certainly worth your money. If you have kids, all the more reason to consider a little ice cream machine to make a DIY ice cream flavor of your kids' choice. When birthdays come, this appliance will be dependable and instrumental to ice cream fanatics' food enjoyment!

6. Waffle maker

Waffles are a favorite merienda when outdoors but rarely done at home. Making waffles has never been this convenient with a waffle maker! A good waffle machine highlights three different features – one for waffles, another for omelets, and finally, for sandwiches. There's only little doubt, if at all, that a waffle maker as a gift this holiday season will be loved by whoever you will give it to. Experiment with a variety of waffle recipes to cook at home and purchase one through Shoppee, Lazada, or in physical stores!

7. Personal blender

A portable blender is an essential appliance among gymgoers who make a healthy protein shake for muscle building. But even if you don't go to the gym and only work out at home every weekend, a blender is one of the basic kitchen appliances that you will grow to love and use every day to make healthy shakes of fruits made healthier with leafy vegetables like malunggay. To make it tastier, mix it with milk. One way or another, it might even prompt you to start leading a healthy lifestyle by working out every once in while without going to the gym! Either with weight gain or weight loss, a blender for making protein shakes will be your companion in your fitness journey. For a multipurpose appliance, a food processor is also a valuable purchase.

8. 3-in-1 breakfast machine

If you fancy a multifunctional kitchen appliance, then a 3-in-1 breakfast machine is especially catered to your needs. It features a toaster, a fryer, and a coffee maker, which is such a convenience! Among this list, this is unquestionably one of the best appliances that need more purchases for the convenience it brings to homeowners. And of course, this makes for a perfect holiday gift too!

9. Air fryer

Air fryers became such a huge commercial success. And there's no questioning it - this kitchen appliance simply does a great job for cooking time among homemakers. It's a healthy choice too, because it forces home chefs to not use excess oil when cooking. Air fryers also allow for crunchier and tastier food without being unhealthy. Indeed, this is the healthier alternative to frying with oil, which could be harmful to health. No wonder why air fryers became best sellers! Before the year ends, an air fryer is still a smart choice to have in the kitchen.
