The 28 Best Christmas Gifts for Bakers, from Beginners and Beyond

Choose one item or shop the whole list and have yourself a very merry Christmas.

French Pastry Cookbook

If you’re shopping for a home baker who wants to start branching out and trying more advanced recipes, give them the gift of French pastry recipes. My cookbook, French Pastry Made Simple, is a great first step into French pastry for anyone used to making cookies and brownies who wants to try something new.

This cookbook can help the reader master basic recipes like 30-minute puff pastry, lemon curd and chocolate ganache and learn to make dozens of traditional French desserts. 

French Pastry for Beginners

Help your favorite baker advance their skills and learn the art of French pastry with my online baking course, French Pastry for Beginners. In this 12-week course, they’ll learn how to make their favorite French pastries from scratch in their own kitchen with everyday ingredients and basic equipment – even if they’ve only baked cookies and brownies before!

3-Piece Cookie Scoop Set

Every home baker needs a good set of cookie scoops. These are perfect for whipping up classic chocolate chip cookies (I recommend my Egg Yolk Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe!) or holiday favorites like sugar cookies and snickerdoodles.

Made from stainless steel, these cookie scoops come in three sizes and feature a trigger-release that easily drops your dough onto the baking sheet with a simple squeeze. Bonus: they’re also dishwasher safe!

Funny Spatulas

There’s not much better than a good food pun…except maybe a food pun on a great baking spatula! These funny spatulas make a great baking equipment gift for bakers who also have a sense of humor.

Choose from five punny sayings like “Christmas Thyme” and “Guacin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and get them a baking tool they’ll actually use (and love!).

Wooden Flour Brush

This handmade flour brush is the perfect gift for the baker who has everything. Handmade in Sweden from birch wood and horse hair bristles, this is the kind of thing a baker loves but won’t typically buy for themselves. 

Nordic Ware Fluted Loaf Pan

I absolutely love Nordic Ware’s baking pans. They are as functional as they are beautiful and there are so many options for your baking gift needs (check out the Nordic Ware bundt pan further down in this post!).

This fluted loaf pan would be wonderful for making a sweet bread like banana bread or pumpkin bread and could also be used for a beautiful pound cake recipe.

This pan is made from durable cast aluminum, which helps ensure a controlled, even browning of cakes and other baked goods.

Manual Lemon Juicer

This handheld, manual lemon juicer is such a handy tool for bakers and any home cook. With a simple squeeze you can juice a lemon quickly and easily, without risking seeds getting into your dish.

Let this be another reason to make lemon curd or a delicious lemon tart in the new year!

Fancy Sprinkles

These just might be the ultimate sprinkles. They’re simple, yet beautiful and come in so many gorgeous colors! I love the gold and silver combination called “Filthy Rich,” but there are tons of options to choose from.

Whether you’re looking for gifts for cookie lovers or any baker who likes to add a little pizazz to their baked goods, give these a try!

Luster Dust

This edible Luster Dust from The Sugar Art is the perfect gift for any baker who wants their treats to be as beautiful as they are delicious. I love to use this dust to make my French macarons even more special, but it can also be used for cupcakes, cakes, donuts and other treats.

Bonus: You can use my coupon code Molly10 for 10% off your order!

Rectangular Tart Pan

This 5×14-inch tart pan would make a gorgeous gift for bakers who want to try some French baking recipes in the new year! The carbon steel pan is nonstick, oven safe and even features a removable bottom to make creating perfect tarts easy.

Pair this with the ingredients to make my French Apple Tart or La Fenetra apricot tart and you’ve got yourself a wonderful gift!

Springerle Cookie Molds

Making Springerle cookies is one of my favorite holiday traditions! These gorgeous molded cookies are a popular French Christmas dessert recipe and are a fun baking project for any home baker.

This year I have some beautiful Springerle cookie molds in my online boutique! There are several holiday designs available. These make a truly beautiful gift!

Emile Henry Bakeware & Kitchen Accessories

Shop some of my favorite items from one of my favorite French cookware brands, Emile Henry. I was lucky enough to partner with Emile Henry to curate a collection of a few of my favorite things. 

Any (or all!) of these kitchen accessories would be an incredible addition to any home baker or home chef’s kitchen!

Joseph Joseph Rolling Pin

This adjustable rolling pin is one of my favorite gifts for baking enthusiasts. The high-quality beech wood pin can be used on its own as a traditional rolling pin, but also comes with five sets of removable rings for creating different pastry thicknesses.

The rubber rings can be used to ensure your dough is even and the thickness you want, whether it needs to be 1/16”, 3/8″ or somewhere in between. 

4-Tiered Collapsible Baking Rack

If you’ve ever heard your loved one complain about not having enough counter space for baking, then this unique gift for bakers is for them! This 4-tiered collapsible baking rack lets you stack cookies, tarts and other treats on the counter to cool without taking up a lot of space.

Even better? The copper finish on this baking rack is seriously gorgeous! I can picture my Egg Yolk Chocolate Chip Cookies cooling there now.

Baker’s Dusting Wand

A dusting wand is one of those baking tools no one thinks they need…until they own one! Then they can’t understand how they ever lived without it. A dusting wand is one of the best Christmas gifts for bakers who want to level up their dessert game and perfect their baking skills.

Use this dusting wand to dust a thin layer of flour over a greased pan before baking or use it to add just enough spices, powdered sugar and other toppings to cakes, cookies and more.

Piping Tip Set

This piping tip set is a must-have for anyone who loves to make pastries and decorate cookies, cakes and other treats. This stainless steel piping tip set includes 12 large piping tips in a variety of shapes and sizes and comes in a handy storage container. This set also includes a brush to clean the piping tips.

Kitchen Measurements Magnet

No more frantic Googling to figure out how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon or how grams convert to cups. This handy kitchen measurements magnet can be kept right on the fridge, so your favorite baker is never in the dark about how to make their favorite treats.

Cake Decorating Turntable

Does your loved one enjoy baking cakes but is still learning how to frost them like a pro? Make the process easier with this revolving cake plate. Not only can this function as a cake stand to serve a tasty treat, it also spins – making it easier to achieve a smooth application of frosting every time.

This gift is on the expensive side, but it will be with them for a lifetime and is much more stable than others on the market!  It’s also great for more than just cakes – it makes decorating any pastry treat a breeze!

Nordic Ware Pan

Every home baker needs a great bundt pan – and yet it’s a type of pan many don’t already own. Even if your favorite baker does have a bundt pan already, they’re often a collector’s item. Most bakers I know will never turn down a fun new design! This Nordic Ware bundt pan features a beautiful, swirling design and is pretty enough to display on an open shelf or even on a wall hook in the kitchen.

Emile Henry Ruffled French Artisan Pie Dish

Anything by Emile Henry makes a great gift – their products are high quality and long lasting. And they’re pretty, too! This Ruffled French Artisan Pie Dish comes in four different colors that are perfect for the holidays (or any time of year) so you can choose your loved one’s favorite.

They will love baking pies in this gorgeous, ceramic pie plate that can go from the freezer to the oven to the table without chips, cracks or stains.

Laguiole Cutlery Set

If your loved one is going to be doing more baking, they might as well have some beautiful cutlery to eat it all with! I absolutely love this red set from Laguiole. 

A traditional peasant tool, the Laguiole knife has been used in the south of France for over 200 years. Today, this cutlery set features stainless steel sharpened blades, stainless steel caps and (bonus!) is even dishwasher safe.

Great British Baking Mug

Does someone on your list love The Great British Baking Show? This gift is for them! Let them know you think they’re a star with this “You’re My Star Baker” mug featuring an illustration of the show’s own Noel Fielding.

The mug comes in two sizes and is a great way to support a small business owner on Etsy, too!

Macaron Ornaments

If macarons are the way to your loved one’s heart (right there with them!), then they will swoon for these adorable macaron ornaments. The ornaments come in a set of six and each features unique colors.

Bring the magic of French pastry to their home – no baking required!

Molly’s Apron, Tea Towel & Oven Mitt

Shop my very own apron, tea towel and oven mitt to gift to your favorite baker! These are the exact tools I use in my kitchen every day while baking. They’re high-quality and durable, so they’ll last your baking loved one for years to come. 

For Christmas 2024, I have an adorable new Buche de Noel print that is perfect for holiday baking! Check it out in my boutique along with more of my favorite gifts for bakers.

KitchenAid Stand Mixer

There’s no denying that a KitchenAid stand mixer is probably the ultimate gift for bakers. If a home baker in your life doesn’t have one of these, I can pretty much guarantee they want one! 

With dozens of attachments available, they can use a KitchenAid to make everything from cookies and brownies to frosting, meringue, whipped cream and even ice cream, pasta, ground meat and more.

This mixer is the Artisan version and the one that I use in my kitchen and what I recommend for avid bakers for the tilt head design and motor strength! It comes in more than 20 colors, so there’s sure to be one they’ll love! Be sure to check out my full guide to choosing a KitchenAid mixer to find the right one for your gifting needs. 

KitchenAid Pastry Beater

The KitchenAid Pastry Beater is one of my absolute favorite attachments for my stand mixer. If your loved one enjoys baking pastries or wants to start trying French pastry recipes, this is a must-have baking tool.

The beater attaches to the KitchenAid mixer to break cold butter into small pieces, creating a consistent texture in pastry dough. Use this for a variety of flaky doughs, like biscuits, scones, tarts and more. You can even use the pastry beater to shred meats and mash fruits and vegetables.

This set also comes with a scraper attachment, which scrapes the bowel while mixing to ensure all your ingredients get properly incorporated into whatever dough or batter you’re making.

KitchenAid Mixer Cover

A fun accessory for a baker with a KitchenAid is a cute cover! The tight-fitting cover protects the mixer when not in use and even includes a storage pocket to keep their favorite attachments organized and easy to access.

I love this pink-and-white striped cover, but it comes in other colors too!
