Gift Ideas for Bakers

The first official Make Life Cute holiday gift guide is here!! I can feel your excitement.

If you need a gift for someone who’s baking obsessed, I’ve definitely got you covered! I tried to list a few different options for where you could buy each item in order to help you compare prices and find what works best for you!

I LOVE giving thoughtful gifts and am someone who often puts in a ton of time researching and planning the perfect gifts for the people I love. It’s one of the ways I show them how important they are to me. Giving gifts is definitely a love language of mine! 

These are perfect gift ideas for every baker on your list! It’s a mix of things that I love and use often, things that are already in my shopping cart, and things that are on my future wish list! 

PALEO BAKING AT HOME COOKBOOK:
I was super excited about this cookbook, I had been following Michele on social media for years before her book came out. Her recipes are easy and delicious and her photos are always beautifully done. It’s definitely my favorite cookbook for grain-free and dairy-free baked goods! 

WHERE TO BUY PALEO COOKBOOK:
• Buy from Barnes & Noble
• Buy from Target
• Buy from Amazon

KITCHENAID FLEX EDGE BEATER:
This paddle is a game-changer for batters and frostings because you don’t have to stop to scrape the bowl as often. Even if someone already has one it’s also super convenient to have an extra on hand so you don’t have to stop to wash in between cake batter and frosting. 

WHERE TO BUY KITCHENAID BEATER:
• Buy from Bed Bath & Beyond
• Buy from KitchenAid
• Buy from Amazon

OXO COOKIE SCOOPS:
Perfect for the perfectionist baker in your life, because, as a recovering perfectionist myself, I can tell you that the perfect uniform cookie size matters!  

WHERE TO BUY COOKIE SCOOPS:
• Buy SET of three scoops from Williams Sonoma
• Buy SET of three scoops from Amazon 
• Buy INDIVIDUAL scoops from OXO
• Buy INDIVIDUAL scoops from Bed Bath Beyond
• Buy INDIVIDUAL scoops from Amazon

STASHER BAGS:
I’m obsessed with Stasher bags and use them for everything. They’re made of food-grade platinum silicone, have a leak-proof seal, are freezer friendly, and are dishwasher, microwave, Instant Pot, and oven safe up to 425 degrees! Stashers literally do it all!! They’ve been one of my go-to gifts for people for years and, in my opinion, you can never have too many! The Stand-up bags are definitely where it’s at though, they’re my favorite.  

WHERE TO BUY STASHERS:
• Buy from Stasher
• Buy from Target 
• Buy from Amazon

OXO BAKER’S DUSTING WAND:
This is another great tool for perfectionist or neat-freak bakers, I love mine! It gives better control for sprinkling sugar, spices, or flour. It’s also much less messy than using a sifter, in my opinion.

WHERE TO BUY DUSTING WAND:
• Buy from Bed Bath & Beyond
• Buy from Amazon

EXTRA-LARGE FROSTING TIP SET:
These are my three favorite frosting tips and are pretty much the only ones I use. It never hurts to have extras on hand if you are working with multiple flavors of frosting because stopping to clean and switch frosting tips and bags is super not fun.

WHERE TO BUY FROSTING TIPS:
• Buy from Walmart
• Buy from Amazon

ARTISAN SERIES LIMITED-EDITION STAND MIXER WITH CERAMIC BOWL:

WILTON CERAMIC CANDY MELTING BOWLS:
I live in cold as sh*t Michigan and these are great for retaining the heat of melted chocolate longer, which makes them perfect if you live in cold climates or for dipping strawberries or other fruit that may cool melted chocolate more quickly.

KITCHENMAID 3.5 QUART GLASS BOWL WITH LID:
