10 gifts for the Le Creuset lover that are $100 or less

There are a lot of reasons to love Le Creuset. The trusted cookware brand has been around for nearly a century, and it’s practically perfected its enameled cast iron Dutch oven. However, some of its pieces (including the iconic Dutch oven) are a bit pricey.

If someone on your holiday shopping list loves the brand, but you don’t want to overspend on their gift, check out these 10 Le Creuset items for under $100. The brand has plenty of cooking accessories and even some cookware that’s probably within budget. Of course, you can also check out its “Specials” section online to find Le Creuset’s current sale items.

For one, its mini cocotte (mini Dutch oven) is a best seller, and it’s less than $40. It comes in two sizes — 8 ounces and 14 ounces — and you can use both to serve condiments, make individual-sized desserts or store snacks. Any Le Creuset lover will find these adorable.
