Joie Strawberry Slicer

A strawberry on a waffle is breakfast. Neatly sliced strawberries arranged on a waffle suggest you have your life together. The Joie Strawberry Slicer caters to that second mood, using stainless steel blades to cut berries into even slices for desserts, garnishes, and a little edible showing off.

The tool itself is berry-shaped, which feels appropriate for something with such a specific assignment. It pairs those blades with BPA-free plastic, but the appeal is the result: consistent strawberry slices for the top of a cheesecake or a carefully arranged pie. We like it for the person who pays as much attention to the finishing touches as the dessert underneath.

If your strawberries mostly go straight from the bowl to your mouth, there isn’t much here to tempt you. For a baker who enjoys arranging fruit, though, this is a cheerfully literal gift with a clear job.
