Gaby Dalkin — celebrity chef, two-time New York Times best-selling author and mastermind behind media empire What’s Gaby Cooking — knows a thing or two about holiday hosting. In fact, she plans entire weekend retreats around her famous Friendsgiving feasts.
Last month, Dalkin celebrated her ninth annual What’s Gaby Cooking Friendsgiving at The Lodge at Blue Sky, just outside of Park City, Utah. This year’s theme was actually a color: Thyme, Le Creuset’s latest Crate & Barrel-exclusive hue, as the chef not only covets the cult-favorite cookware brand (specifically the Cast Iron Braiser), but she’s also a loyal Crate & Barrel’s customer, recently designing her own lineup of dinnerware and serveware for the home design haven.
Between Gaby Dalkin’s kitchen collection, the retailer’s exclusive Le Creuset colorways and the chef’s curated gift guide, Crate & Barrel is home to the crème de la crème of holiday gifting inspiration for the home cook in your life. See below for our top present picks for 2025, and check out Crate & Barrel’s official Gift Guide at crateandbarrel.com.
Le Creuset’s signature Oval Dutch Oven comes in six sizes, ranging from 4.5 quarts to nine quarts. The Crate & Barrel-exclusive colorways — Thyme, Cream, Chambray, Graphite and Nuit — are available on Le Creuset’s larger assortment of cookware and kitchen accessories.
While the chef also sells her beloved spice blends individually, this six Seasoning Gift Set is a new offering for the holidays. It’s also available in a set of four full-size jars and a set of five full-size jars.

Carmel Ceramic Beverage Tub by Gaby Dalkin
For the host in your life, opt for this terracotta tub finished by hand with a cream-colored glaze.
It’s sized to hold up to three wine bottles. The best part? Since the glaze is reactive, the finish creates unique constellations of tiny flecks.
Carmel 3-Part Ceramic Dip Bowl & Tray by Gaby Dalkin
The multi-color set includes four hand-glazed pieces designed by Dalkin.
