The GLOBAL Christmas Gift Guide

by Victoria Curran on Oct 30 2026

We’ve made Christmas shopping just that bit easier by collecting a list of our favourite products that would make fantastic gifts for everyone in your life, whether that’s everyday cooks, bakers, hosts or the person who has it all! GLOBAL gifts are timeless and will be cherished for years to come. Or if you’re a keen cook yourself in need of inspiration for your own wish list, it’s time to take note.

 

For the everyday cook

Treat someone to the upgrade of cooking with a GLOBAL knife. Smooth sleek cutting, sharpened to a 15° angle, the Award-Winning G-2 knife is the perfect introduction to the precision and craftsmanship that is a Japanese knife. It’s a best seller for a reason, perfect for everyday kitchen tasks such as slicing, chopping and dicing. Winner of the Which Best Knife award and the Housewares ICON award, this is a gift that will be cherished day in, day out, rather than being forgotten about at the back of a cupboard.

For someone who deserves a kitchen upgrade

A 3-piece set covers most of your weekly cooking needs and elevates the experience of cooking by smoothly slicing, peeling or dicing. Our three-piece sets are designed around Japanese philosophy with the Earth-Tsuchi set symbolising the firm, solid elements of our world such as rock and stone, signifying strength. Comprised of a Santoku knife, Vegetable knife and Peeling knife, this set is perfect for handling vegetables. On the other hand, the Fire-Hi knife set embodies passion and vitality with fire also playing a vital role in the culinary scene. Fire finds its culinary representation in the preparation of meat, as such this set includes a Chef’s knife, Oriental knife and an Peeling knife. So, whether you’re gifting to a meat lover or vegetarian, these sets cover all the kitchen essentials.

 

For the design conscious cook

One of our most beautiful sets is the Water-Mizu 7-piece knife block set. It stands proudly in any kitchen, with its sleek magnetic redwood block and 6 knives which cover every culinary need with razor-sharp precision and balance. The set includes a fluted oriental cook’s knife, vegetable knife, flexible utility knife, fluted santoku knife, small bread knife and paring knife. It makes a brilliant gift that will be a joy to use for a culinary enthusiast who loves to cook just as much as they love the look of their kitchen.

For the baker

Global G-9 Bread knife with a serrated edge on a grey surface next to a loaf of bread, dried oranges, and a dark fruit. Bread knife for slicing sourdough read, home made bread and crusty bread.

A fantastic bread knife can change the game for any keen baker. No one wants to put all the work into baking a delicious loaf to then fall at the last step and end up with squished, torn or uneven slices. Our award-winning G-9 bread knife solves this problem. The serrated teeth, with built-in chambers that clear crumbs easily, allow you to evenly slice crusty sourdough and pastries or level cakes.

 

For the host or hostess

Hosting everyone for a Sunday lunch or roast dinner can be elevated with a high-quality carving set. Every host will love the gift of a Ni Carving Set, allowing them to carve roasts, poultry or large cuts of meat with ease and style. The carving fork holds the meat steady, while the thick blade and long handle of the carving knife makes easy work of any roast joint. Treat the host in your life to something they didn’t realise they needed!

 

For the person who has it all

It’s always hard buying for the person who has everything. You don’t want to add clutter to their life but what about giving the gift of sharp knives? Our ceramic wheel sharpener is easy to use and gives unparalleled sharpness. Or if someone in your life wants to practise the skill of traditional knife sharpening, why not gift them a whetstone. Whilst they can be more challenging to get to grips with, the tool is a favourite amongst chefs due to its ability to offer further precision and control.

 

For every home cook

The final gift on the list is so versatile, and it also makes a more budget-friendly option. The Cherry Wood Chopping Board looks beautiful in every kitchen, evoking the Sakura cherry blossom of Japan. The high-quality solid wood is anti-bacterial, doesn’t damage your knives like glass chopping boards and removes any microplastics from plastic boards. Anyone and everyone will get good use out of this gift.
