The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Bakers
This post contains affiliate links. Read the full disclosure here.
Every baker I know loves the holidays and I am no exception. This year I decided to compile all my favorite baking tools along with all the items from my own wish list to make the ultimate holiday gift guide for bakers!
I’ve provided options from various price points, different retailers (Amazon and non-Amazon), and different styles, so I’ve made this list as inclusive as possible. If you have a baker in your life and are looking for the perfect gift, this list has something for every type of baker!
And if you are the baker, feel free to send this to your loved ones as a not-so-subtle hint 😉

Alright let’s get straight into it! I’m going to start with the bigger gifts but if you’re looking for stocking stuffers just scroll a little further down.
Perfect Gifts for Bakers
- Handheld Cordless Mixer ($99) – this is probably my number one most used baking tool. It’s lightweight, cordless, sleek, and has multiple different speeds. I replaced my corded heavier mixer with this one a few years ago and it changed my baking game!
- Kitchenaid Standing Mixer ($350) – any baker will tell you that the Kitchenaid stand mixer is the crème de la crème of mixers. I have a purple one but have been eyeing up this gorgeous Blue Velvet color! One of the great things about these mixers is they have sooo many beautiful colors to choose from.
- Round Cake Pans ($25) – I love these 8 inch round cake pans and use them in all my cake recipes. It’s always good to have 2-3 cake pans because it makes it so much easier to make layer cakes!
- Square Baking Pan ($21) – as featured in all of my brownie recipes, this 8 inch square baking pan is non-stick and made of aluminized steel.
- Loaf Pan ($21) – the quality of this loaf pan simply cannot be beat. It makes the best loaf cakes.
Christmas Loaf Pan ($38) – this gorgeous loaf pan is currently on my wish list. It’s so festive and perfect for holiday bakes!
6. Cookie Sheet ($25) – I absolutely love this cookie sheet. It’s the perfect size and super high quality and non-stick.
7. Muffin Tin ($40) – this muffin tin makes slightly larger muffins than the standard muffin tin (but not jumbo) and I love the quality of it. I’ve had this one for years and it still looks brand new!
8. Baking Set ($139)- I got this set as a Christmas gift years ago and still use it almost daily. It’s the perfect set in my opinion because it comes with two cookie sheets, two round cake pans, and a cooling rack. The color is gorgeous too!
9. Food Scale ($10) – the single most essential tool in any bakers toolbox. Any food scale will do, but this is the one I have. I preach about weighing your ingredients all the time and for good reason – it’s more accurate and less dishes!
10. Marble Rolling Pin ($60)- for the baker who loves to make pies and cut out cookies! Oh how I love this marble rolling pin – works better and is easier to clean than a wooden one. I also have this marble rolling pin without handles.
11. Linen Apron ($109) – such a great gift for obvious reasons! I am absolutely in love with this classy linen apron and the broccolini color.
Patterned Apron ($114) – so many fun prints and colors available. This apron in the slinky rose print is currently on my wishlist!
Linen Apron (lower price point)($58) – I have a Williams Sonoma apron and wear it every day.
12. Apron for Kids ($38) – for the mini bakers in your life. You can get these personalized with their name too!
13. Le Creuset Pie Dish ($56) – this pie dish is gorgeous, high quality, and comes in multiple colors! Personally I would love to receive this as a gift!
White Pie Dish (lower price point) ($28) – I have this one and use it all the time! Simple and classic.
14. Dog Glasses ($16) – these are absolutely adorable and perfect for the dog-loving baker to have on hand to sip their juice/soda/coffee while busy in the kitchen!
15. Oven Mitts ($35) – any baker knows that oven mitts get a ton of use! These ribbed ones are great and come in a two pack with various color options.
Oven Mitts (lower price point) ($14) – another great option in a two pack! Tons of color options here too, with some even lower in price.
Patterned Oven Mitts ($18) – such a cute cherry pattern! Comes in a single pack.
16. Festive Tea Towel Set ($68 + Code GABBY15 saves you 15% off at checkout!) – with the discount code this set comes to just $57!
The only tea towels I use and this set would make such a beautiful gift. A great gift for anyone, these tea towels are also made sustainably out of recycled materials.
Perfect Stocking Stuffers (Small Baking Tools)
- Rubber Spatulas ($9) – these make a perfect stocking stuffer and I personally use them every single time I bake! I also love these sleek black rubber spatulas ones from Crate & Barrel.
Tip: highly recommend getting the all rubber ones specifically for small ones. I’ve purchased some cute aesthetic ones with wooden handles before and the handle often snaps off at some point! The only exception to this has been my large wooden handle spatula from Williams Sonoma
2. Offset Spatulas ($10) – these are great to have in a few different sizes for the cake baker in your life! I use this brand and find the handle very comfortable to hold and they’ve lasted me years!
3. Tea Towels ($18 + Code GABBY15 saves you 15% off at checkout!) – with the discount code these come out to just $15 each!
These are the only tea towels I use and I gift them to everyone. Tea towels are something you can never have too many of, and they are a pretty universally loved gift. They’re sustainable and made of recycled materials.
The pattern options are endless! I love this floral pattern or this festive holiday pattern.
4. Oven Thermometer ($17) – this can be a make or break for how well your baked goods turn out! Every baker (and oven user in general) should have one.
Oven Thermometre (lower price point) ($7) – a slightly cheaper option that also has amazing reviews.
5. Measuring Cups ($39) – while I do prefer to use a food scale for accurate measuring, I still use my measuring cups daily for certain ingredients and these are gorgeous!
Measuring Cups & Spoons (lower price point)($16) – while the option above is beautiful and high quality, a less expensive option is more than enough as well!
6. Measuring Spoons ($25)- another one I use every day, I have multiple sets!
Measuring Spoons (lower price point)($10) – I love that this set is magnetic and comes with a leveler!
Cherry Measuring Spoons ($18) – I have these on my wish list this year based soley on how adorable they are! They also come with a little egg separator!
7. Cookie Scoop ($19)- an absolute staple for every baker and cookie lover! I’ve been using this same one for years. You can’t go wrong with the standard medium sized cookie scoop but can always go for a large cookie scoop (who doesn’t love a big cookie, am I right?)
8. Silicone Baking Mats ($17) – you will never catch me making cookies without a silicone baking mat on my cookie sheet. It makes the cookies come out so much better and keeps your cookie sheet in great condition. A great add on if you’re getting a cookie sheet!
9. Real Vanilla Extract ($19) – okay not technically a baking tool but it’s used in 99% of baking recipes so it’s pretty essential and makes a great stocking stuffer. Real vanilla extract makes a night and day difference over the cheap artificial stuff, I promise!
10. Salt Cellar ($20) – made of acacia wood, this salt cellar would make such a great stocking stuffer!
And that’s it! I hope this list was helpful for you and helped make the decision-making that comes with holiday gift giving a little bit easier.
