I love Glennon Melton’s family rule that all Christmas shopping be completed by December 1 allowing them to truly enjoy the holiday festivies. Even if they go to the mall they can enjoy the experience rather than a frazzled stressed errand.

The tricky part of that, is that you miss some of the wonderful deals (and savings!) in all the stores. Fortunately with the onset of the internet, so much more productive shopping can be done from your couch. In your underwear. And the experiential enjoyable aspect of shopping can be had at a leisurely pace throughout the season.

I’ve compiled a list of deals for cooks that you love. (I’ll be updating this list over the weekend, so check back as new deals get added and old deals get removed.)

Deals for Cooks

Peppermint Marshmallow Cookies. $8.49 plus 20% when you use the code BIGMOUTH20 (expires November 30). Also bonus for all you Georgian readers they’re made in Atlanta!

One of my besties sells Young Living Essential Oils in Colorado. Have you started using Essential Oils in your cooking yet? I haven’t, but I keep hearing wonderful things about cooking with them. Expect to see some recipes in the new year with them!

Chemex. Pour over style coffee and it’s so pretty. If you’re a hipster you probably already own this. If you’re a hipster wannabe, let me help you out, it’s only $57.95 for the 8 cup version. The coffee is delicious.

If you’re looking to make more of an investment the Jura Impressa C65 is my dream espresso machine. My uncle has one and it’s fabulous. It is so easy to use and great when you have guests. It can make a cup of coffee or a cappuccino at the press of a button. Normally $1200, on sale for $1000.

When we lived in Paris, Joe and I had an Nespresso machine. We LOVED it. The Nespresso cups in North America are about 80 cents a piece, if that’s in your budget do it.
