50+ Holiday Gifts for the Baker
Baking Gift Ideas
Let’s celebrate the season of GIVING with my annual Gift Guide for Bakers! Here are 50 holiday gift ideas for the baker in your life or if you need ideas for your own wish list. I love giving thoughtful, fun, and practical gifts and I hope this list inspires your shopping.
All of these gifts are items I own or are products I see with wonderful reviews. None of this is sponsored– just truly items I love!
General Baking
Baking Sheet – These are incredibly durable and cool quickly. This baking mat fits perfectly on the sheet and a cooling rack completes a cookie lover’s gift!
9×13 Inch Pan – A staple in my kitchen– I use it for sweet and savory recipes and love the versatility. Pair with a 9×9 inch pan and a loaf pan for a complete set.
Measuring Cups – These are incredibly practical. I love that the handles are magnetic so they stick together. For a colorful alternative, brighten up your kitchen drawers with these beautiful measuring cups and measuring spoons.
Liquid Measuring Cups – I love this set of 4 liquid measuring cups. If tight on storage space, they double as mixing bowls too.
Flour/Sugar Storage Containers – These are the best bulk storage containers… and I’ve tried plenty! They aren’t fancy but they are a staple in my kitchen.
Glass Mixing Bowls – This set of 10 mixing bowls is a wonderful addition to any baker’s kitchen. They’re microwave safe and I appreciate the various sizes– a bowl for everything.
KitchenAid Hand Mixer – One of my most-used kitchen tools! Mine is over 12 years old and still running strong.
Food Processor – I use mine for nuts, sauces, and so much more– it’s helpful and versatile.
Kitchen Scale – In baking, precision is everything and that slight mis-measure could spell baking disaster. This is by far the most important tool in my kitchen.
Colorful Spatulas – Such a fun gift that everyone enjoys. I especially love these: gold heart spatula, colorful heart spatula, and Christmas tree spatula.
Rainbow Whisks – Because why not? I smile whenever I use mine!
Adjustable Rolling Pin – The simplest way to roll cookie dough, pie dough, pizza crust, and more. The adjustable discs make it easy to roll any thickness – no more uneven dough. Pair with these cookie cutters for every season!
Americolor Gel Paste Kit – I use this gel color kit for practically everything: royal icing, frosting, red velvet treats, and cake batters. The colors are beautiful! For softer colors, I love this pastel kit.
Specialty Baking
Cookie Scoop – Gift all three sizes for a complete set! I use these for cookies, truffles, ice cream, meatballs, and as a melon baller too. Very handy!
Alphabet + Number Cookie Cutter Set – The easiest way to make personalized edible gifts. You can literally spell any name and celebrate any age!
Heart Linzer Cookie Cutters – These make such pretty cookies. This holiday linzer cookie cutter set is also really cute!
Sprinkles – The happiest gift! They make such a fun stocking stuffer, hostess gift, etc. Use code SALLYSBAKING15 for 15% off. ?
Pie Dish – The best pie dish on the market– I own 5 of them. I also love this ruffled pie dish. Complete the gift with pie weights and a pie crust shield!
Donut Pan – Awesome quality and inexpensive.
Cookie Press – My favorite for making spritz cookies.
Cupcake Pan – Also great for muffins. Pair with these parchment liners— they fit wonderfully and peel away without sticking.
Cupcake Carrier – I cannot emphasize how much I love this and the cake carrier too. When I need to cover and transport baked goods with a lot of frosting, these containers make it easy and don’t ruin the frosting, either. The base for the cupcake carrier is reversible so you can transport cookies, brownies, and more all in one place. I also store decorated cakes and cupcakes in these carriers in the refrigerator– it’s a convenient way to keep them fresh.
Cake Turntable – Makes decorating cakes so much easier! For a complete cake decorating gift, pair with: small straight spatula, large straight spatula, and angled cake spatula.
Bundt Cake Pan – The best. The bundt cake releases easily AND it’s really easy to clean. This mini bundt cake pan is also adorable because sometimes it makes more sense to have cute mini cakes instead of a large one!
Wilton Decorating Tip Set – This set has it all. For sugar cookie decorating, I use round tips 1 – 5. For cupcake decorating, I use any of the star tips. Or tip 352 for sunflower cupcakes. To complete it, I’d gift disposable piping bags too.
Kitchen Torch – Not a baking necessity but a fun addition to a well-stocked kitchen! Perfect for baked Alaska, crème brûlée, and more.
Home & Personal Accessories
Rimmed Cake Stand – I love the rimmed edge for something a little different!
Wood Slice Cake Stand – I love mine! Gorgeous and wipes clean every time.
Heart Serving Board – This simply sweet heart serving board is made from stunning oak. I have this marble version, too!
Heart Ramekins – These are oven-safe and they’re great for individual fruit crisps and crumbles. So cute.
Snickerdoodle Candle – Smells like cookies all day long. Is there a better gift?!
Gingerbread Ornament – This donut ornament and croissant ornament are equally cute!
Baking Queen Shirt – Adorable and simply perfect for any baking queen in your life. (This team cupcake t-shirt is also a fun option!)
Sprinkle Running Shoes – I only run in Brooks shoes and just bought myself this exact pair! I have another pair of sprinkle sneakers that I showed you earlier this year, but I don’t think they’re online anymore. Pair with pink sprinkle socks for the sweetest gift.
Floral Apron – My absolute favorite apron.
Bakers Gonna Bake Apron – You can personalize it!
Life is What You Bake It Towel – Love this motto.
Procrastibaking Print – I think we are all guilty of this. ?
Cute Mug – For anyone who would rather eat cake for breakfast!
Marble Cookbook Holder – Pretty on the counter with or without a cookbook.
