Dinner is served! Shop TODAY associate editor Lauren Witonsky says her grandma never asks for anything but has had an interest in air fryers since they have become popular.
“I’ve never seen her more excited about a gift when I brought her this one. The food icons on the touch screen make it super easy for her to use instead of having to figure out the time/temperature,” Witonsky says. “And since she doesn’t own a microwave, this gives her the option to heat up food quickly with 10 preset cooking programs. I’ve since received texts of her raving about how much she loves it and photos of her hot pastrami sandwiches!”

The book is gorgeous,” she adds.
Former Shop TODAY holiday editor Nina Bradley recommends buying Grandma “easy-care indoor plants.”
