If your friend or family member spends the majority of the year in the kitchen baking and cooking, read on to make your life a lot easier!
Stand Mixer
This would make a very generous gift. For bakers all over the country, this stand mixer is pretty much the standard. You’ll be able to mix up a variety of batters without lumps, ensuring that your baking efforts are perfect every time.

Bundt Pan
If your friend or family member’s speciality is cakes, a new Bundt pan is a must-have. There are a lot of great designs to choose from, but the Nordicware Heritage Bundt Pan is definitely the most eye-catching.

Sourdough Starter
For people who enjoy baking bread, a sourdough starter makes a really cool baking gift. It needs some upkeep, but it will help you make some fantastic loaves of bread right in your own kitchen. If you want to enhance the presentation, a stoneware crock is a good choice, but any container that can be kept protected will suffice.

Aebleskiver Pan
On weekends, nothing beats a lazy brunch with relatives. Breakfast classics include pancakes, waffles, and french toast, but an Aebleskiver pan makes a perfect gift and adds something different to the menu. This pan produces spherical Danish pancakes, which are mostly filled with fruit or jam and are as much fun to make as they are to eat. To go with the pan, a cookbook about these treats would be a perfect gift.

Stand Mixer Accessories
While a stand mixer is a perfect luxury gift, stand mixer accessories make excellent gifts for people who already own one. A bowl-scraping stand mixer attachment practically eliminates the need to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix. Less washing up! Alternatively, an extra mixer bowl for a brand of stand mixer she already owns would be very welcome.

Adjustable Rolling Pin
It’s usually a guessing game when it comes to rolling out pastry to the right thickness. For example, with the clever adjustable rolling pin from Joseph Joseph, you can make it an exact science. Because the removable rings allow for uniform thickness, thicknesses of 1/16, 1/6, 1/4, and 3/8 of an inch can be achieved. I have one of these and I will NEVER go back to a non-adjustable rolling pin!
