Useful gifts for the Thanksgiving cook
Start with something the cook actually wants. Give kitchen equipment early if it is intended for the holiday meal, with time to learn it and find a place for it.

GIFT NOTES
Give this ahead of Thanksgiving if the host wants a new thermometer for the kitchen. It also makes a lasting present for someone who grills, bakes, or cooks plenty of ordinary weeknight dinners.
This is a spot-check tool that is removed after taking a reading. A leave-in alarm thermometer serves a different job; choose according to how the recipient likes to monitor a roast.
