5 Gift Ideas For The Baker in Your Life
From butter ornaments to cooling racks, there's something for everyone.
If you have a friend or family member who loves to bake, then consider yourself lucky. Why, you might ask? Because they are some of the easiest people to buy for. And take that from someone who loves to bake, and is overjoyed when gifted with any cookbook, kitchen gadget, or decorative cake plate. Additions to our baking collection are always welcome, whether it’s a kitchen tool, a fun new ingredient, or something food-themed (like a butter ornament, for example–hint hint). With that said, here are some of my top gift picks for that special baker in your life.
1. Magnetic Retro Kitchen Timer
Okay yes, this isn’t necessarily baking exclusive, however, what baker wouldn’t want this retro kitchen timer hanging out in the kitchen? It’s cute, it comes in several different colors for you to choose from, and it sticks to the fridge which means you’ll never lose it. Plus, it eliminates the need to attempt to set a timer on your phone with flour-covered fingers. And if that’s not a win, I don’t know what is.

2. Cody Foster Butter Ornament
It’s no secret that Cody Foster makes some of the best holiday ornaments out there. And in case you’re not familiar, they specialize in food-themed ornaments, both savory and sweet. One of my all-time personal favorites just so happens to be this stick of butter, but my second favorite is undoubtedly this Baking Stand Mixer Ornament. I can promise you that any baker would be more than happy with either.
3. Nordic Ware Copper-Plated Cooling Grids (Set of 2)
You may be inclined to argue with me here, but there’s not a baker in the world who doesn’t need a good cooling rack. And if you’re going to have cooling racks, why not have ones that will last you? Since these ones by Nordic Ware are copper-plated, they won’t chip, rust, warp, or tarnish. And because of their round and aesthetic silhouette, they’re also great for serving.

4. Mosser Colored Glass Cake Stand
Every baker needs a pretty cake stand worthy of bragging rights, especially around the holidays. These handblown glass ones come in seven different colors and multiple sizes, so there’s one for any occasion—and any type of treat. I love using these cake stands to serve cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even a decadent spread of cheese and crackers from time to time.

5. Mason Cash In the Forest Mixing Bowl Set
Fancy and aesthetic mixing bowls make baking all the more fun, there’s no arguing about that. These ceramic bowls come with forest animals stamped into the side, which are not only cute but help to create friction so that the bowl doesn’t go flying out from under your arms while mixing. Additionally, they’re also chip-resistant and microwave and oven-safe.
