Looking for Christmas gifts for bakers? Here’s a list of awesome gifts for the baker enthusiast, the weekend baker, or the person who just always ends up making the birthday cakes at your family parties.
Baking is one of my favorite things to do.
So, when I made this list, I went through my kitchen and took notes on the things I love to use when baking, and then I added onto it for the things I would love to GET for my kitchen.
I have to admit, though, that I’m more of a kitchen minimalist. I don’t like to have a hundred gadgets if I’m not going to use them, so this list reflects only the best gifts for bakers.

Gifts for the everyday baker
Are you wondering, “What’s a good gift for an everyday baker?” Not a professional baker, just someone who loves to bake. As an “everyday baker” myself, I think these gifts would be AWESOME to get as a Christmas gift .
Turn those cookie sheets into non-stick with these silicone baking mats.
Make those baked goods stand out with a dessert stand like these
A beautiful recipe box that would look great sitting on any counter, along with recipe cards.
Give them a beautiful apron, personalized JUST for them
Healthy dessert recipes that look irresistible
Keep those recipes front and center with this Ipad/tablet holder
A stand mixer certainly makes life easier for the baking enthusiast, and saves those arm muscles!
This would be an awesome gift for anyone serious about baking.
Gifts for Bread Baker
Do you know someone who loves baking bread? Maybe that’s all they do on the weekends, or maybe they are continually dreaming up new bread recipes? Maybe being at home so much has ignited their bread baking passion.
These gifts will absolutely thrill any weekend bread baker.
Use these baskets to raise the dough (and impart a beautiful design in the process)
This is like a pizza stone…but better. It’s steel so it gets hotter than a pizza stone, and provides a great bread baking surface.
A digital instant read thermometer is a MUST in any kitchen, but especially in a baker’s kitchen. You can be confident the bread is cooked with this thermometer.
For someone just getting started baking bread, this cookbook is a good starter book.
A gluten allergy or sensitivity doesn’t mean you can’t make bread anymore.
Here’s a dried starter culture to make your own sourdough culture. Starting from scratch takes weeks. Make the process easier with this dried culture!
Many people bake their bread inside a dutch oven. The beauty of it is it’s a gift that can be used for general cooking as well as bread baking.
Use this classic cookbook so they can learn everything they ever wanted to know about bread baking.
This loaf pan creates a beautiful design on top of your bread loaf
For the purists among us. Let them grind their own flour straight from the wheat kernel. Fresh flour = better tasting bread.
Gifts for cake baker
Who’s the person who ALWAYS makes the birthday cake? I’m that person in my family. Not only am I asked to make the birthday cake, I actively request that job. Because I love it. Baking is really fun for me. And I do it a LOT.
And that means I have a pretty good idea about what’s useful and what’s not. Below are gifts that any baker would LOVE to get as a Christmas gift.
These pans allow for the sides to pull away so they for sure come out clean. A must-have for a cake baker.
Make that cake look beautiful with this piping kit. It comes with a bunch of different tips to beautify your creation.
When you’re decorating a cake, this is a luxury. The pros use it, and I think every home cake baker should too.
Perfect for frosting cakes, these offset spatulas were made for cake decorating.
I love the look of this wooden cake stand. It would make any cake look amazing.
If you’ve ever transported a frosted cake or cupcakes, you KNOW what happens…they slide around and the frosting gets ruined. Not with this carrying case! Click to see what it has to offer.
Use this testing stick instead of guessing if it’s done.
These parchment sheets are awesome. They fit a 9″ round pan and even have side tabs to easily lift out if you don’t have spring form pans.
Make their life easier by investing in silicone pastry bags. Re-use them often!
Imagine if this is what your next birthday cake looked like!
Get this cake knife and server engraved with their name. It’ll make them think of you every time they cut into a cake. Trust me. My Grandma gave us one for our wedding and I think of her every time I cut a cake!
Let those desserts stand out and be admired on this beautiful stand.
SO WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE?
So what’s it going to be? What will you get that baking obsessed friend?
You can’t go wrong with any of these gifts for a baker. And who knows…maybe you’ll reap the benefits and get to enjoy even more homemade baked goods.
With this list in hand, you’ll certainly be able to pick out a Christmas gift they’ll absolutely LOVE.

Here are a few of my favorite baking recipes from here on STB:
- Grain Free Zucchini Muffins
- Flourless Double Chocolate Almond Cookies
- Rich & Moist Dark Chocolate Cake
Baking gift set
If you can’t decide on just one gift, consider creating a baking gift set with a “theme”. Bundle them all up in a bread raising basket or dutch oven. Sounds like the absolute perfect gift to me!
- Baking utensils: rubber spatulas (make sure they’re flexible like these), offset spatula, bench scraper, whisk, cake knife
- Baking tech: digital thermometer, Ipad holder (for recipes), kitchen timer,
- Protective gear: personalized apron, silicone oven mitt
- Entertaining kit: Cake/cupcake carrier, cake stand, dessert display trays, cake knife, cake decorating spinning stand
