Swap the Elves for Ninjas this Christmas!

These ice cream makers, air fryers and blenders make perfect stocking fillers.

Looking for a gift that earns you some brownie points and maybe an extra prawn this Christmas? Thanks in part to TikTok influencers, Ninja kitchen appliances are topping a lot of wishlists in 2024. With Appliances Online now stocking a wide range of kitchen appliances from this hot brand, this could be the year that Ninjas beat the Elves for the crown of favourite festive helper. Here's why so many people are hoping to find one of these three gadgets beneath the tree this year.

1. Everyone screams for Ninja CREAMi

Want to win Christmas? The Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker and its bells and whistles sibling the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe - will be a hit gift that keeps on giving. While traditional ice cream machines can be clunky and complicated, this one transforms ingredients into professional-quality frozen dessert in three simple steps, with its clever ‘creamify’ technology and ‘creamerizer’ paddle.

Instead of churning while freezing, like most ice cream makers do, you first make a liquid base with ingredients like cream, milk or dairy-free alternatives, and pureed fruit, and freeze it solid for 24 hours in the included pint container. The CREAMi’s special blades then break down the frozen base into a smooth, creamy texture.

More than a bowl of ice cream, it's a family activity

With the versatility to make everything from classic vanilla ice cream to dairy-free and keto-friendly options in your choice of flavour, it can be an especially good present for friends or family members with dietary restrictions who are tired of the same limited options from the supermarket freezer.

As well as ice cream and lite ice cream settings, CREAMi has options to create gelato, sorbet, slushies, milkshakes and more. The dishwasher-safe parts and containers make it very user-friendly and easy to clean up afterwards.

Bonus gift tip: Include some (of your favourite) mix-in ingredients and have some pre-frozen bases in the freezer ready for them to make their first frozen treats.

2. You get a better blend with a Ninja

From the wellness warriors and smoothie gluggers to the cocktail connoisseurs in your life, a Ninja blender will become the new highlight of the day. Not even exaggerating.

Unlike some basic food processors, these powerful machines tackle everything from smoothie bowls and chunky salsas to frozen drinks with professional-grade results. Frozen margarita before Christmas lunch anyone? At the heart of Ninja blenders is a clever multi-blade system, with blades positioned at different heights within the jug. This means you won't need to constantly stop and stir because ingredients get processed evenly whatever you’re trying to blend.

Ninja blenders have powerful motors and multiple chopping blades

The blades are matched by motors capable of tackling challenging ingredients like frozen berries, nuts, and fibrous vegetables like kale. Using straightforward speed settings and the pulse button, you can easily achieve different textures, from completely smooth purees to chunkier dips.

Come winter, certain models can be used to make hot soups, both cooking and blending ingredients in the same jug. If the person you’re buying for is into baking, the blenders make quick work of crushing cookies for bases, pureeing fruit for fillings, or mixing batters. They can also be used to make plant-based alternatives like smooth nut milks, creamy dips and vegan cheese.

3. Ninja air fryers offer more than a healthier crunch

A Ninja Foodi air fryer is a great gift that genuinely has the power to transform life in the kitchen. Combining several cooking functions in one user-friendly device, these multi cookers make great gifts for everyone from time-poor parents to those who love entertaining. The dishwasher safe components, intuitive controls and included recipe books mean recipients can start creating healthier versions of their favourite meals straight away.

The Foodi series air fryers use advanced air flow technology to create crispy finishes without using much oil. Beyond air frying, they can also roast, bake and dehydrate foods, while the air fryer-multi cooker combo models can even pressure cook, slow cook and steam. From crispy French fries to tender pulled pork and perfectly steamed veggies, the pre-set functions on the digital displays take the guesswork out of cooking so you can achieve restaurant-quality results at home.

The non-stick coating across the range makes for easy cleaning and most parts that come into direct contact with food can go straight in the dishwasher. For busy families or anyone who loves entertaining, the ability to quickly and easily cook different components of a meal simultaneously without using umpteen pots and pans can be a real game-changer.

Next level air frying with Ninja
Ninja gifts keep on giving

Unlike a lot of stocking fillers, Ninja products aren't just good for the silly season - they're very practical kitchen companions that will keep giving throughout the year, with most of them having a two-year warranty. And at the moment they are red hot! Whether it's homemade ice cream in the holidays or healthy smoothie bowls for breakfast, they’ll make every day feel special (while seriously impressing guests!)
