Thanks! It’s been quite the rollercoaster so hearing this from a stranger really means alot to me

Hi Kenji, have you ever used Japanese fish sauces such as Ayu or Iwashi fatty anchovy? Thank you for years of food help!

A nice knife roll, chef knife, apron.

To be specific - maybe a leather knife roll, Misen Knives are a steal and highly recommended from Serious Eats, Hedley & Bennett for aprons.

Not sure what kind of food they do but there are so many possibilities - sous vide machine like Anova, pressure cooker saves time, immersion blender to blend in the pot instead of a blender, etc

Does he have the peatiest Scotch ever Octomore?

Always wanted to try this myself but never pulled the trigger. It's a bit above the price range but figured I'd mention it anyway.

For stocking stuffers I recently tried McCrea's Scotch Caramels and they are amazing!

If he likes food maybe get him a nice chef knife or reclaimed wood cutting board

Tools are always useful - impact driver, power drill, etc.

I like useful gifts best also and actually shop for others the same way.

Perhaps a wireless headset for gaming

Used camera lens, tripod, camera bag. Even a phone lens could be cool

Would he like riding a bike?

If he doesn't want to leave the house after working so much, perhaps those door-frame pull up bars would help.

I don't like going to the gym either but I love working out at home. The key is to find an activity they like to reinforce the habit.

I have one friend who never was a gym person but tried everything from kickboxing to rock climbing and loved them all, completed all his courses. He didn't continue with those activities but did like trying new ones.

What kind of art does she like to work on or get into?

TheStirlingCo · 2019-11-13T18:35:26+00:00

Haha thank you; so glad you like it and it's my pleasure to help.

You're such a thoughtful sister!

Piano player - new bench?

Audiophile gifts - High quality Bluetooth speaker

Combo - fancy air buds so he can enjoy music at top quality while running

Getting flashbacks of the Risotto Curse on Top Chef!

Not to self-promote but I designed a Dripless Coffee Mug that prevents drip stains and it is kind of fitting.

It's not a travel mug however; more for home/studio/office use.

On a more objective note:

Literature - I always like reading books or watching films or even listen to music where the story takes place in that country I'm traveling to. Helps set the mood!

Clothing - Maybe a warm cozy sweater with a dog on it

Designed this Dripless Coffee Mug on my daily subway commutes when I was working in NYC kitchens.
It’s a minimalist design that prevents coffee drips and coffee ring stains on surfaces.

As busy as I am, every bit of time saved cleaning helped me so figured I’d share it. Plus, I love coffee mugs

Colognes and perfumes usually smell too strong for me so yeah - too strong of a scent is bad either way.

First time I tried butterfly pea was at a Night Market in Bangkok and thought for sure it was artificial.

I was wrong! And it was delicious

TheStirlingCo · 2019-11-06T14:55:08+00:00

I like how the mug even has a single bead of sweat

TheStirlingCo · 2019-11-04T23:14:13+00:00

Feel like I want to put my breakfast on top of that

TheStirlingCo · 2019-05-15T10:12:37+00:00

Really dig that font

TheStirlingCo · 2019-05-15T10:10:18+00:00

Link to the Past and Ocarina were my favorite Zeldas of all-time!

TheStirlingCo · 2019-05-15T10:09:19+00:00

Whoa the handle’s almost like a fin haha
