20 Best Gifts for Bakers, No Matter Their Skill Level or Specialty

Take their baking output to another level with this accordion-style mesh cooling rack. Every level can be extended or contracted to the height they need, or left flat. It’s the one to get for the baker who always makes massive batches of cookies.

If they’ve already scored their dream stand mixer, they’ll appreciate one of the many attachments available, like this 2-in-1 sifter and scale. It weighs up to four cups of dry ingredients, then sift them directly into the mixing bowl. No mess + fluffy batter = winning.

Not to be confused with cookie cutters, cookie stamps are designed to only leave an imprint. This beautiful set of three is made of die-cast aluminum with wooden handles and will transform plain cookies into works of art.

They’ll be able to whip up a batch of mouthwatering buttermilk biscuits in no time with a professional set like this one. With precision edges, each biscuit gets a clean cut, so it rises evenly in the oven.

If they don’t already have a stand mixer, and you want to give a gift they’ll own (and love) forever, you can’t go wrong with this classic. It’s a workhorse that makes any baking project a breeze, and it comes in 22 colors, so you’re sure to find one that matches their kitchen.

If there’s one thing that the baker in your life loves more than baking, it might be their pet. To customize, send the Etsy seller a photo of their fluffy friend, and they’ll turn it into a custom 3-D printed cookie cutter that looks just like Fido or Fifi.

While you can never go wrong getting them a pair of traditional top-rated oven mitts for getting a grip on piping-hot pans, it’s always nice to add a dash of humor, too, even if it is a little salty.

This could be the last bakeware set they ever need. Caraway pans are thick, non-stick, and come in seven eye-catching colors. They’re oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, and other than their excellent performance, the coolest part is that the set comes with its own organizing rack for cabinets.

A pastry slab is such a luxury when the thing you’re baking requires some speed. Marble keeps butter, chocolate, or other key ingredients cold as they’re mixed into a dough — so bakers don’t have to grab everything from the fridge as they go. This is the secret to flaky pie crusts or mile-high biscuits, and the baker in your life will be thankful for this.

Proud bakers will appreciate having this hardback recipe journal on hand. It provides several handy templates for them to log their best creations, so they can return to their favorite recipes time and again. It also makes a thoughtful heirloom gift once all the pages are filled.

Pop out perfectly shaped cookies with this mess-free cookie dough dispenser. It comes with 12 stainless steel pattern disks that easily shape the dough into fun shapes like flowers, butterflies, leaves, and snowflakes. Great for any occasion, these cookies are almost too cute to eat.

The using-a-wine-bottle-as-a-rolling-pin trick works in a pinch, but this is your excuse to get them a real one. It comes with 1/16-, 1/6-, 1/4-, and 3/8-inch removable discs for flattening out doughs of all types to the perfect thickness.

Humans have been baking bread the hard way for millennia, but if your baker wants to churn out fresh-baked loaves without having to babysit a boule, get them a bread machine. This KBS can knead, proof, and bake dough into bread, and the unit can be used to make yogurt and jam.

A Silpat mat helps cookie batches come out perfectly browned (not burnt) every time. Made of silicone and fiberglass mesh, it provides an even-heating layer and a spacing guide. We’ve used this exact baking mat for more than two years, and it continues to be our go-to for every batch of cookies.

When they can’t decide if they want to make brownies or banana bread, a two-sided baking pan is a fun solution that lets them bake both cravings at the same time. It’s nonstick, and a textured bottom makes it easy to remove the goodies.

Elevate their cookies with these incredible, extra-dark chocolate chips. Not only are they ethically sourced, but they’re also made with oat milk, so they’re great for people who like to avoid dairy.

While a pastry scraper may seem like a simple gift for bakers, it’s extremely useful. It can be used to portion, cut, chop, and scrape dough off their prep surface. There are also helpful measurement lines on the scraper, and because it’s made of stainless steel it’s super easy to clean.

Any baker who takes their sourdough seriously will love this kit. The compact countertop warmer keeps a starter batch at an optimal temperature (between 75-82 degrees Fahrenheit), lets them see it at all times, and works with any jar they have that fits in the cloche.

Novelty socks are an easy yet always appreciated gift idea. This set will please anyone with a sweet tooth because they look exactly like a decorated donut when rolled up. They’re soft and cozy — and the fun colors help make a day spent on their feet a little more enjoyable.

Bakers know that a little finishing sprinkle of salt turns something basic into something Michelin Star-worthy. Wow them this year with a 20-ounce tub of Maldon sea salt. Each tiny crystalline pyramid adds a pleasant crunch, light salinity, and an Insta-worthy aesthetic to dishes both savory and sweet.
