This place is heaven! I don't actually buy a lot here, since some things are on the expensive side, but if you do need a specialty gadget for the kitchen (dumpling press, anyone?), this is the place to go. They have a great cookie cutter section if you're into that (which I am), and they are often giving out coffee/latte/cappuccino samples. I think it's a great place to buy gifts--even if they aren't that into cooking, you can find them something that will make their experience a little easier, or a little prettier.
