We have compiled a list of some of our favorite products released this past year, some are new, and some are old but more importantly are great value and make exceptional gifts.

Here is our pick for Day 11.

Victorinox Swiss Classic Santoku Knife and Universal Peeler

For those doing the festive cooking this season, there is nothing more important than having the right tools for the job and the team at Victorinox have you covered with two kitchen staples – a great cutting knife and vegetable peeler.

The Santoku is every carvers dream with its ultra-sharp fluted edge which makes this superb to slice, dice and mince with. It features an impressive 17cm stainless steel blade complete with an ergonomic thermoplastic elastomer handle that provides a well balanced handling experience.

We were impressed by its relative low weight and ability to be a one stop general purpose knife that could pretty much replace most knives in your cutlery draw. The fact that is Swiss made and has a 2 year warranty makes this a perfect gift for your loved one.

If you really want to put a smile on their faces, then you need to pair the knife with their very versatile universal peeler with its supremely sharp serrated edge that will make peeling your favorite fruits and vegetables this season a breeze.

We love that the blade is double edged and great for righties or lefties and both the knife and peeler are dishwasher safe, so no need to baby these great kitchen utensils!
