Google Just Released Its Most Searched-for Gift Ideas and These Kitchen Essentials Made the List Summer Cartwright
Google’s annual “Year in Search” brought us the top recipe trends of 2020, but it also revealed which gift ideas proved to be the most popular, including in the kitchen gadget and appliance category. Unsurprisingly, classics like KitchenAid’s stand mixer and Le Creuset’s Dutch oven were among the top searches but in true 2020 form, a few unexpected terms popped up on this year’s list.
According to Google, searches for baking were up 25 percent this year, which was perhaps evidenced by the great yeast shortage we saw this spring. Inquiries for cotton candy machines also surged by 42 percent, no doubt showing that parents were on the hunt for a fun activity that could be done indoors.
