If there’s one thing I know it’s this: when someone gives me a well chosen baking gift, it’s like they get me. I mean, a baker’s heart is warmed by more than just flour and sugar (though those help). It’s about tools that invite creativity, accessories that spark joy, and maybe even something a bit indulgent you wouldn’t buy yourself. So this year I’ve pulled together a list of gift ideas I’d personally be thrilled to receive and if you’re buying for a baker (or are a baker and dropping hints) these are great picks. They’re all UK friendly, and I’ve grouped them by budget so you can pick the right level for you. Here’s my top 10 Christmas Gifts for Bakers.
Gifts under £20
Here are three fun, affordable gifts that still feel thoughtful and useful.
- Flying Tiger Copenhagen Christmas Themed Baking Kit: A fun, festive baking kit from Flying Tiger Copenhagen for just a few pounds. Great for adding some seasonal cheer and an easy bake.
- Dunelm George “The Gingerbread” Apron: For the baker who wants to keep clean in style. A gingerbread-themed apron adds charm and practical protection.
- eBuyGB Personalised Wooden Baking Spoon: Personalised utensils are always a hit. A wooden spoon engraved with a name or message turns a useful tool into a thoughtful gift.
Gifts in the £20-£50 range
Stepping up a bit: these gifts cost more, but deliver more utility or style.
- Branded & Personalised ‘Bake Your Own Cookies’ & Wooden Spoon Set: This one combines experience (bake-your-own cookies) + personalisation (wooden spoon) which makes it extra special.
- Eleanor Bowmer Fabulously Festive Cake Tins (set of 2): A set of two beautifully designed cake tine (£35) – perfect for someone who enjoys baking and wants something stylish for storage, gifting or just using as decoration!
- Habitat 5 A high-quality set of baking accessories from Habitat: This gives good value and will be used again and again.
Gifts above £50
For the serious baker, the one who dreams of taking their baking to the next level or deserves a major treat.
- Smeg 50’s Style Stand Mixer: A beautiful stand mixer that’s as much a design piece as a tool. Ideal for someone who bakes frequently and has the space.
- Fortnum & Mason Kitchen Baking Selection: A luxury baking selection from Fortnum & Mason – perfect for gifting to someone who loves both the art of baking and the indulgent side of food.
Final Thoughts
For someone who just bakes occasionally, the under £20 options are wonderful – fun and useful. If they’re regularly baking go for the mid tier – something they will use day in say out. For someone who is really passionate about baking and you have a bit more budget per aside for them then the over £50 options are a really special gift. Let me know if you gift someone something from this list of 10 Christmas Gifts for Bakers!
