Curbed Gift Guide: Kitchen Goods for Your Mother-in-Law Who Worships Nancy Meyers

New, 2 comments

Welcome to Curbed's first gift guide, wherein our editors sort through a retail landscape rife with tech, toys, textiles, trinkets, and tchotchkes. This year we're shopping for some rather specific recipients—though we think you'll find the gift selection broadly appealing. Shop on!

We all have one or know one: a mother (or father!)-in-law whose greatest desire in life is a kitchen that looks like it was pulled straight from a set designed by filmmaker and director Nancy Meyers, she of It's Complicated and Something's Gotta Give fame. While the sunny, spotless, seemingly endless kitchens Meyers has popularized may be out of reach for the Average Jane, we've chosen 9 items to help create the same sense of freewheeling, wine-swigging style.
