Shower the baker in your life with some goodies from our amazing list of gifts for bakers. We have ideas that’ll work no matter your budget!
We all have someone on our list who bakes up a storm! They bake cookies when they are stressed, cakes to celebrate an event, and brownies to welcome a new neighbor on the block. These super bakers are a joy to have in our lives (so many tasty treats!), and as an added bonus, their baking addiction makes them incredibly easy and fun to shop for!
Our list of dozens of gifts for bakers will help you make your gift shopping easy this year. We cover every price range in our gift idea listโyouโll find stocking stuffers and small gifts for less than $5, all the way up to fancy schmancy baking tools. You canโt go wrong!

What makes our 2023 list of gifts for bakers the best ever?
Weโve personally tested the items on this list! Our team here at Wholefully purchased these items, tried them in our own homes, and are excited to recommend them! We donโt accept any freebies for our gift guides, so you can trust that we really do love everything on this list.
On our list, youโll find a good balance between big box stores and small businesses. We also made sure to include many options that are from diverse shops, including BIPOC-owned companies, woman-owned companies, and LGBTQ+-owned companies. Happy shopping!
Note: Many of the links on our gifts for bakers list are affiliate links. This means if you purchase through our link, we get a small kickback for referring youโat no cost to you.
38+ Creative Gifts for Bakers
Shower the baker in your life with some goodies from our amazing list of gifts for bakers. We have ideas thatโll work no matter your budget!
Tool Upgrades
KitchenAid Rubber Beater
While we love our KitchenAid mixers, we donโt love the beater that comes with them. This rubber beater means youโll spend less time stopping to scrape down the edges of the bowl. Who doesnโt love a time saver?
KitchenAid Glass Bowl
The metal bowls that come with most KitchenAid stand mixers are fine, but we love this upgrade because it is heavy, sturdy, and allows you to see whether everything is thoroughly mixed.
Thermapen
The gold-standard of instant-read thermometers! Weโve had the same Thermapen in the Wholefully kitchen for almost a decade, and itโs helped us make hundreds of batches of yogurt.
Mini Spice Grater
Freshly ground spices lend much more complex and interesting flavors to baked goods than the stuff in the pre-ground shakers. We particularly like this one because it works as both a grater and whole spice storage container.
French Rolling Pin
Handleless, tapered rolling pins give you more control and maneuverability, and will have you looking like a pro.
Marble Rolling Pin
(No longer available.) Not only is a marble rolling pin beautiful, but it can help keep your pastry dough cold as you roll it out. Give this to the baker who loves to make their own breakfast pastries or puff pastry.
Wooden Dough Scraper
A beautiful wooden bench knife is much sturdier and definitely more aesthetically pleasing than the cheap plastic kind!
Silicone Mats
Every cook needs a set of good quality silicone baking mats. They turn any baking sheet into non-stick, and they make cleanup a breeze!
Specialty Ingredients
Sourdough Recipe Starter Set
If your baker friends arenโt already on the โmake all the sourdough breadโ train but want to be, this set makes getting started easy! With a live sourdough starter and a sturdy stoneware crock, theyโll be off and baking in no time.
Citrus Oil Set
No need to zest an orange or squeeze a lemon to add the flavor to baked goods! These citrus oils pack a zesty punch in a small package. Plus, they are packaged in adorable tiny bottles.
Natural Food Colors Set
These natural food colors make beautiful pastel tints for your favorite treats! And they come in a sweet metal storage tin.
Diaspora Spice Set
We love the work that Diaspora Co. is doing to decolonize the spice industry, and their fresh spices are so incredibly flavorful!
Food Marker Set
With ink made out of gel food coloring, these food decorating pens are a great gift for the baker in your life who loves creating intricately decorated cookies and cakes.
Infused Raw Honey
We loved every honey we tried from the small, Black-owned company. The ginger honey was a particular favorite among everyone who tasted it!
Fancy Sprinkles
Beautiful sprinkles in a medley of colors and shapes are such a fun stocking stuffer. We also recommend combining them with some of the other fun ingredients on this list for a themed gift basket.
Special Equipment
Kitchen Scale
Every baker needs a kitchen scale, and if your favorite baker doesnโt have one, this is a winner in our books. Itโs small enough to fit in any kitchen, but flexible enough to work with any recipe.
Cookie Dough Freezing Tray
Having freshly baked cookies on demand just got easier. Freeze your cookie dough in this divided tray, and youโll have perfectly sized cookies to bake later!
Custom Pet Cookie Cutter
Custom cookie cutters make for fun sweet treats. These 3D printed cutters are customized to look like your bakerโs favorite furry friend.
Russian Piping Tips
Intricate piping tips like the ones in this set make beautiful frosting flowers and leaves in a snap. Expert dessert decorators will love the time-saving aspect, while novices will appreciate the ease of use.
Cookbook Gifts for Bakers
Cheryl Dayโs Treasury of Southern Baking
This book truly lives up to its nameโitโs an absolute treasure chest of classic southern baking recipes. The recipes are honed from generations of Southern bakers, and they are written in a way to help you bake a successful dish, but also teach you how to become an overall better baker.
King Arthur Flour Bakerโs Companion
This classic tome is a must-have for every home cookโs shelf, covering the hows and whys of every type of baking. Gift this one to the baker who wants to understand why certain recipes work (and why others donโt) so that they can come up with their own creations.
New World Sourdough
This is a sourdough cookbook for folks who are intimidated by sourdough! Itโs packed with beginnerโs tips, interesting recipes, and a relaxed attitude that is really comforting for the new baker.
Pie for Breakfast
A storybook and a childrenโs cookbook in one neat book, Pie for Breakfast will have the kids itching to get in the kitchen to try something new with you.
Milk Bar: Kids Only
Christina Tosiโs latest offering is all about the younger set, with creative desserts (Apple Pie Waffles! Tropical Mermaid Muffins!) paired with kid-friendly kitchen lessons. Give this one to the kid who is itching to get into the kitchen and bake their own treats.
Ice Cream Party
With each page divided into thirds (the top section is toppings, the middle is ice cream flavors, and the bottom has cookie and crust bases), you can mix and match these ice cream recipes into thousands of delicious sundae combinations. And you donโt need an ice cream maker for these recipes, either (though you could absolutely use one if you wanted)!
Grandbaby Cakes Cookbook
The debut cookbook from fellow blogger Jocelyn Delk Adams is full of family history and over 50 colorful, flavorful cake recipes inspired by her family. With recipes like Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake and Key Lime Pie Cake, thereโs a new twist on an old favorite for everyone.
Midwest Made: Big, Bold Baking from the Heartland
None of the recipes in this cookbook are particularly complexโinstead, they are homey, from-scratch desserts that each come with a story of their Midwestern roots. Gift this one to the baker in your life who grew up in the heartland and has a nostalgia for their childhood favorites.
Bon Appetit Desserts Cookbook
With over 650 recipes, this cookbook serves as an excellent resource for making all kinds of desserts. Each recipe is labeled by its level of complexity, and both newbies and experts will have lots of variety to choose from.
Kitchen Beauties
Hand Stamped Pie Server
Vintage silver gets a modern update when metal stamped with phrases like โBaking the World a Better Place.โ
Personalized Pie Box
(No longer available.) If youโve ever tried to drive to Thanksgiving dinner with a pie wedged in the floorboards of your car, you know why a pie box is a MUST have. It keeps a pie perfectly safe while in transit!
Stripe Chefโs Apron
This thick, sturdy apron has a minimalist look and holds up well to any cooking messes.
Berry Colander
This is definitely the cutest way to wash fruit before making pie, cakes, or bars.
Baker Accessories
Baguette Pin
This enamel pin is a great stocking stuffer for your favorite bread baker.
Chocolate Molecule Necklace
This oneโs for the chocolate lovers! This delicate necklace shows the molecular structure for theobromine, which is found in chocolate.
Nobody Likes a Soggy Bottom Enamel Pin
(No longer available.) Show your favorite pie baker some love with a cheeky โNobody Likes a Soggy Bottomโ enamel pin.
