Is it just us or does everyone seem to be plant-obsessed these days? We’re definitely not complaining: A succulent here and an aloe vera plant there is a great way to add some life and personality to a kitchen or dining room. That’s why we figured this mini gift guide for plant-lovers was a total must-do.

From punny plant merch to cute handmade pots, you’re bound to find something fun and different in this lineup of budget buys. Even better, most of these gifts are on the small side, so they make great stocking stuffers.

Let’s be honest: Infomercials are the best guilty pleasure cable television has to offer. Whether you love them or love to hate them, there’s no denying that their cinematic magic and touch of cheesiness makes for some wildly entertaining TV.

But with the binge-worthy spirit comes a healthy dose of skepticism. Is this really a miracle product and do I really need this in my life? The answer is sometimes (okay, most of the time) no. However, in the case of The ‘Ove’ Glove, the answer is definitely yes.

As I was gearing up to make one of Pioneer Woman’s most popular dessert recipes, the first thing I noticed wasn’t the shockingly high cake-to-icing ratio or just how massive this cake is (it serves 24!) — it was that she had titled it “The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever.” See that extra period? That’s some serious punctuation to emphasize its deliciousness.

If you’ve ever had Texas sheet cake, you’ll find this recipe similar: It’s a thin, flat chocolate cake baked in a sheet pan and topped with a thick, sugary icing and pecans. And if the punctuation hasn’t convinced you, maybe a celebrity will. Jennifer Garner is such a fan of this cake that she made it on her Instagram cooking show and endorses it as her family’s go-to chocolate sheet cake recipe.

Clearly, I needed to know the truth (although really I’ll find any excuse to bake something chocolatey). So I took to the kitchen to see if Ree’s beloved cake really held up to its claim.

Kitchn’s Delicious Links column highlights recipes we’re excited about from the bloggers we love. Follow along every weekday as we post our favorites.

Look, I’m a serious meat-lover, the kind of unrepentant carnivore who has to be reminded that fruits and vegetables are also things that exist. I can say “cheeseburger” in a half-dozen different languages, have impressed (or possibly terrified) strangers at neighboring tables with my ability to finish the Chateaubriand for two by myself, and admittedly feel a little guilty every time I listen to a Morrissey record. (I’ve already made peace with the idea that we’ll probably never have lunch together.)

Sur La Table is currently offering huge discounts on one of our favorite, high-end French cookware brands, Staub — on nearly ever piece they carry. And while these brand-specific sales can sometimes be deceptive, with the biggest discounts being on impractical things like giant cookware sets, one of our top picks is one of the most discounted at 65 percent off. Check out the entire sale here. All orders over $59 include free shipping, and as a cute bonus for those spending $200 or more on the Staub sale, Sur La Table is gifting a Jacques Pépin chicken knob, compatible with any of Staub’s cocottes or ovens (a $24 dollar value if purchased alone during the sale).

There’s no way around it—injuries suck. As a coach, gym owner, and a massage therapist, I see them constantly and I observe the way they affect people’s lives. I also know from personal experience how devastating injury and pain can be. Why, then, is it such a taboo subject? What can we do (as trainers and clients) to mitigate the effects of injury? Let’s talk a bit about personal experience before we discuss solutions.

When I saw a number of high-protein, three-ingredient Cheetos recipes trending on Pinterest, they seemed too good to be true. But these highly snackable keto Cheetos are the real deal. They’re as light and crisp and cheesy as their store-bought counterpart — without all those artificial ingredients.

While I don’t follow the keto diet myself, my curiosity was piqued when I saw this recipe idea. Not satisfied with some of the viral versions I encountered, I set out to create an easy version you can make at home, so that you can eat a healthier Cheeto whenever a craving strikes.

As the Lifestyle Director for Kitchn (and previously, a Market Editor for various national food magazines), I spend most of my summers going from holiday preview to holiday preview. In June, July, and August stores like Target, MoMA, and Williams Sonoma hold events for the media to come and see all the fun products that will hit shelves in time for the holiday season. August is also when I make the trek to the Javits Center for a giant gift show. And I spend a decent amount of time meeting with smaller websites and stores, too.

Sometimes it’s the stuff from these smaller shops and makers that I love the most. I’m talking about handcrafted goodies or cute finds that are simply just not mass produced. They’re usually the sorts of gifts that top my wish list, so this year I wanted to round them all up in one place.

These are the 25 gifts from independent shops and makers that I’m coveting this season.
