Every baker knows that the process of preparing delicious cookies or a fluffy loaf of bread is much more complicated than the “Pat-a-Cake” nursery rhyme suggests. Yes, there might be some rolling, patting, and marking…but whipping up your favorite baked goods also involves chemistry, patience, and lots of love. So, why not give your baker a cooking gift they’ll use regularly this holiday season?

To kick things off, we have a few questions for gift-givers: Is your friend the queen of sourdough starters? The ultimate cookie decorator? Or perhaps your loved one is just really into hosting elegant tea parties (or all of the above!). We’ve done our research to find the best, most helpful items that every baker needs in their kitchen or closet.

From baking cookbooks to inspire their next project to nifty kitchen gadgets and quirky apparel for showing off their main priority in life (chocolate, of course!), these are the 35 best gifts for bakers.
