I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

Second the Victorinox kitchen knife. Add in their paring knife, too, and that's pretty much all you'll need.

I third both Victorinox knives (specifically the ones with the Fibrox handles, not wood).

That said, I suspect other brands of similar knives -- broadly, the good-but-cheap commercial-grade kind found in restaurant supply stores, which have stainless steel stamped blades, grippy plastic handles, and are NSF-certified to survive being sanitized by restaurant dishwashers -- would be just about as good. Think something like a Mercer Culinary or a Dexter-Russell.
