Whatever your cooking skills, everyone knows that&nbsp;Le Creuset is the ultimate in luxury cookware. The company was founded in the quaint French town of Fresoy-le-Grand in 1925,&nbsp;where the incredible&nbsp;success&nbsp;of the&nbsp;brand&#39;s first product, &#39;the cocotte&#39;, launched what would be an extensive range of pots, pans, and utensils. Today, Le Creuset&#39;s tradition for excellence still stands with&nbsp;each cast iron&nbsp;product&nbsp;passing&nbsp;through 15 different artisanal hands&nbsp;at the company&#39;s original&nbsp;foundry before it is allowed to make&nbsp;its way to the world&#39;s premier&nbsp;kitchens.&nbsp;If your giftee is more of a food lover than maker, don&#39;t worry, Le Creuset&#39;s&nbsp;trademark &#39;if you know, you know&#39; enameled&nbsp;look is an ultra-chic&nbsp;addition to every kitchen&mdash;plus the&nbsp;set comes in 8&nbsp;different colors.

It was Napoleon&#39;s army that first had the brilliant idea of breaking open a champagne bottle with a sword to celebrate a victorious battle. Thankfully, though the tradition lives on, we no longer have to resort to opening our bottles with swords stained by the blood of our enemies. Vagnbys&#39; champagne saber is as efficient as it is stunning: just slide the blade (made of a&nbsp;single piece of stainless steel, we might add) along the bottle&#39;s molding line and Pop!&nbsp;the bottle will break away in a single piece. Trust us, your gastronome will be pulling out this&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;Vagnbys solid wood box for special occasions&mdash;and, hell, plain-jane&nbsp;Wednesday nights&mdash;to come.

A Baccarat Harcourt 1841 Decanter

Created in 1841, the iconic Harcourt is the oldest design in the Baccarat archive and&nbsp;has been hand-picked by the likes of Pope&nbsp;John Paul II, the Queen of Thailand, the King of Morocco...and, soon, your gastronome giftee. Baccarat is famous for its immaculate crystal craftsmanship and this decanter&nbsp;is no different. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing from each and every angle, but its unique architecture also ensures optimum decantation for the smoothest of drinking experiences.
