<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-1-talbots-denim-shirt”>1. Talbots denim shirt</h2>
<p id=”par-2_37″>First up, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ina-garten-reveals-secrets-behind-signature-style.html/”>dressing like Garten</a>. She’s known to be a fan of <a href=”https://www.talbots.com/denim-short-shirt—medium-wash/P243075505.html?cgid=apparel-blouses-and-shirts&dwvar_P243075505_color=BRILLIANT%20BLUE&dwvar_P243075505_sizeType=MS#srsltid=AfmBOor4fRRQQRhPq7_PvKRttmbwZO3vtlkgpsMOhVW5f5hBMSPiRbv8&start=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Talbots</a>’ button-down shirts, so why not gift a Barefoot Contessa fan one of their own? Get a denim shirt at Talbots for just under $54. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-2-be-ready-when-the-luck-happens-memoir”>2. ‘Be Ready When the Luck Happens’ memoir</h2>
<p id=”par-3_40″>Instead of releasing a cookbook in 2024, Garten penned a deeply personal memoir. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ina-garten-casually-revealed-release-date-memoir.html/”><em>Be Ready When the Luck Happens</em></a> charts her childhood, working at the White House, running a specialty food store in the Hamptons, and becoming a cookbook author. </p>
<p id=”par-4_14″>Released in October 2024, Garten’s memoir is currently on sale on <a href=”https://www.amazon.com/Be-Ready-When-Luck-Happens/dp/0593799895″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Amazon</a> for $17. </p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-3-barefoot-contessa-cookbooks”>3. Barefoot Contessa cookbooks</h2>
<p id=”par-5_55″>This is a no-brainer Christmas gift for Barefoot Contessa fans. Replace an old, worn copy of one of <a href=”https://barefootcontessa.com/books”>Garten’s many cookbooks</a> to start 2025 fresh. Or help complete someone’s collection of Barefoot Contessa cookbooks (Garten’s in the double-digits with cookbooks now). Bonus: Many are currently on sale for the holiday season as low as $19. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-4-fran-s-caramels”>4. Fran’s caramels</h2>
<p id=”par-6_47″>“Everyone likes” Fran’s caramels, according to Garten (via <a href=”https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/skip-wine-ina-garten-brings-093000966.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Food & Wine</a>). So why not gift a Barefoot Contessa fan with what Garten’s likely given out herself? The Seattle-based chocolatier has caramels, which start at $18.25, available at various retailers, such as <a href=”https://www.surlatable.com/search?prefn1=productType&prefv1=HardGood&q=fran%27s%20chocolates” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Sur La Table</a> and Whole Foods. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-5-the-barefoot-contessa-s-preferred-good-vanilla-nbsp”>5 The Barefoot Contessa’s preferred ‘good vanilla’ </h2>
<p id=”par-7_58″>Time and time again Garten’s used “good vanilla” in her dishes. But what does she actually mean when she says those words? Her go-to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ina-garten-uses-store-bought-vanilla-barefoot-contessa-instead-homemade.html/”>storebought brand for vanilla</a> extract is Nielsen-Massey. Look for it at local grocery stores, get a $53 variety pack at <a href=”https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/world-vanilla-set/?sku=7593718&cm_ven=PLA&cm_ite=7593718_14932288920_pla-1418851115981&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Local&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAgoq7BhBxEiwAVcW0LB6R-uqPgp3BXZfDLI26Dk_5zlHJz-bWrRvWClO4N5xekjjv-amdbxoCP8QQAvD_BwE” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Williams Sonoma</a>, or buy a $15 or $20 bottle from the brand’s <a href=”https://www.amazon.com/Nielsen-Massey-Pure-Vanilla-Extract-ounces/dp/B0000VLU1W/?maas=maas_adg_D328BEE596D4F56F9385C9E3CD3B31DA_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas&ref=sr_1_2&crid=XQ6UNVTS0D41&keywords=nielsen-massey%2Bpure%2Bvanilla%2Bextract%2B2%2Boz&qid=1648587163&s=grocery&sprefix=nielsen-massey%2Bpure%2Bvanilla%2Bextract%2B2%2Boz%2Cgrocery%2C79&sr=1-2&th=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Amazon</a> storefront. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-6-ina-garten-christmas-gifts-peppermate-pepper-mill”>6. Ina Garten Christmas gifts: PepperMate pepper mill </h2>
<p id=”par-8_62″>A pepper mill might sound like a random Christmas gift—to be fair, it is to a certain degree—but for Barefoot Contessa fans it’s an IYKYK (if you know you know) sort of thing. Garten can be seen on <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ina-garten-reveals-preps-be-my-guest-really-learn-person.html/”>Be My Guest</a></em> using a PepperMate pepper mill often. It has a place in the kitchen at her barn in East Hampton, New York.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-7-the-barefoot-contessa-s-favorite-oil-from-olio-santo”>7. The Barefoot Contessa’s favorite oil from Olio Santo </h2>
<p id=”par-10_36″>Diehard Barefoot Contessa fans will especially appreciate the gift of Garten’s go-to olive oil from Olio Santo. It’s what she uses when she <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/10-ina-garten-approved-good-ingredients-barefoot-contessa-phrase-actually-means.html/”>refers to “good”</a> olive oil in her recipes and on her cooking shows. </p>

Pro tip: Gift the olive oil alongside a box of the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ina-garten-reveals-store-bought-noodles-she-uses-for-fresh-pasta-but-better-taste.html/”>De Cecco pasta</a> and some Parmigiano Reggiano—both <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ina-garten-just-showed-off-newly-organized-pantry-shared-tips.html/”>Barefoot Contessa pantry</a> staples—so the recipient can make Garten’s Spaghetti Aglio E Olio recipe. </p>
