If we’re being honest, I think most of us are guilty of the last-minute gift grab. Each year, as it gets closer to the festive holidays, we find ourselves frantically running around trying to find the best presents to give our friends and family. While it’s not exactly an easy task to find the perfect present for everyone (Dads are always a nightmare) if you know someone who loves to bake, then treating them to a couple of baking goodies is a great gift-giving idea.
So what do you buy for a budding baker, then? After all, we aren’t exactly the easiest people to buy for. Most of the time, we already have all the tools and accessories we need. I can’t even begin to list all the baking gifts I have been given that I already had.
So, if you are scratching your head trying to remember if your loved ones need yet another set of spatulas or measuring spoons, I’m here to tell you they almost certainly don’t.
Instead, I have curated a list of a few of the best unique gifts for bakers that I think your friends and family will love. Every item on my wishlist is a tool or utensil that most bakers would drool over, most of which are highly unlikely to be in your loved ones’ current collection.
To make this guide more user-friendly, I have split my gift ideas into different categories; I want to first show you some nice personalized baking gifts, then baking tools gift sets, and to finish up a few cute, quirky gift-giving ideas.
Let’s get started!

Personalized Baking Gifts
Looking for something really nice for that special someone? Personalized baking gifts are the perfect way to do that. Here are a few of my favorite ideas.
Personalized KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Is the baker in your life in desperate need of upgrading their stand mixer? If they are, there’s only one tool for the job. I think you should really consider getting them a personalized KitchenAid stand mixer. This classic baking tool is a must-have for any serious baker and having it personalized with their name, or initials is a lovely way to add that extra special touch.
When designing your mixer (which is great fun by the way) KitchenAid gives you the option to select from a range of colors, bowls, and attachments. I also love that you can engrave whatever you like into the trim band too.
This has to the most unique baking gift out there, right?
A Personal Apron
- Customize this awesome apron with your loved ones name and initials!
- Made made using 100% premium cotton, these look and feel like a high quality apron. The custom printed design make these unsuitable for a machine wash, but perfect happy with being hand washed.
- Free shipping and 100% satisfaction garunteed!
An apron is something that has been in every kitchen since the dawn of time. But what about a personalized apron with fun baking pun or even their name? Bet your baker friend doesn’t have one of those!
You can play about with all sorts of different designs, patterns, and colors. I personally love this white apron with flowery patterns personalized with your friend’s name. Or, what about this turkey cooking chef apron, perfect for Thanksgiving? These are just some of my suggestions, but there are so many different designs you can find online.
Custom Rolling Pin
- Laser engraved with anything you choose, meaning your design will never fade or come off.
- These make a great little unique and quirky Christmas, housewarming or birthday gift!
- Measures approximately 16 1/2 inch from end to end with a 3 inch diameter.
Okay, a rolling pin might not set anyone’s world on fire, but these rolling pins are pretty special and make great baking stocking fillers. They can be engraved with any design or message, making them a unique, yet useful, gift. Your baker can use their custom rolling pin to roll out pie crusts, fondant, cookie dough, and more.
There are so many personalized rolling pins to choose from. If you are looking for something that is more of an ornament, this 4 piece Thanksgiving set of mini rolling pins is a great gift your baker friend can use as table decoration.
Embossed rolling pins are really popular at the moment. Not only are they unique and personal, but you can also engrave their name, or a quote on the rolling pin which will then transfer onto the cookie crust or pie crust, making the baked treat unique too.
If you are looking for a decorating tool, these embossed rolling pins have Christmas patterns on them so your baker can make intricate Christmas cookies or pies.
Cutting Board
- One of the nicest cutting boards money can buy which can be personalized with names and messages of your choosing.
- Cut from quality hard wood (Premium Oak and Walnut) each board is completely unique.
- Handmade and sustainable
- All orders handled with the utmost care and love ❤️. Gift wrapped and personal message card available.
Yes, most cutting boards might be generic kitchen items that most of us don’t really think about, we just use them to chop stuff. That said, a personalized cutting board is a unique and special gift for any baker. Have their name or a funny baking phrase etched onto the wood for a cute and functional gift they can use in the kitchen every day.
A cutting board can also double as a serving tray for displaying baked goods. I love this handmade cutting board you can personalize with their name, favorite quote, or a special date. Another cool idea is this cutting board where you can engrave their favorite recipe on.
Baking Tool Gifts
Baking is one of those hobbies that require an endless supply of handy tools and utensils. Here are a few baking tool gift ideas that I love. Some are stand-alone show pieces, others are great as baking stocking stuffers!
Mason Cash Mixing Bowl
- Mason Cash bowls are some of the most sought after bowls ceramic mixing bowls around. The In The Forest range, one of the brands classic designs, is intricately embossed with forest scenes featuring favourite forest animals.
- These high quality bowls look and feel like the real deal. They are also made from chip resistant earthware, helping preserve their lifespan for years to come.
- The pattern, not only looks great, but is designed to help grip the bowl.
We bakers love a good mixing bowl, but most of us go for practical bowls over aesthetic ones.
Combining both practicality and aesthetics, Mason Cash bowls are absolutely gorgeous. These ceramic beauties have been made in England since the early 1800s, and they have been a staple in many English households for decades. They have become so popular over the years and made their way across the pond to be loved by Americans too.
These bowls are made out of chip-resistant stoneware that can withstand the toughest mixing jobs. They come in various sizes and colors, making them a beautiful addition to any baking station. Plus, they’ll last forever!
I was first given a Mason Cash bowl as a gift a few years ago and absolutely adore mine, it was my go-to mixing bowl for years to come.
