One of my favorite things to do is hunt for - and then give - that perfect gift. And if it's for a fellow baker, even more of a thrill! Below is a list of goodies I've collected throughout the year. I hope you find it helpful in bringing a smile to a loved one's face. Happy Holidays!

Tools & Ingredients

Double Strength Vanilla
from The Spice House
Pure vanilla extract is price-y(!) these days, so I can't imagine a baker out there who wouldn't appreciate some of the good stuff! Double Strength is an extra special splurge (especially when used teaspoon-for-teaspoon).

Olive Oil Cake Mix
from Elia
I’m a sucker for a good olive oil cake (sorry, butter ornament, below!) and I’m a sucker for good packaging. Check and check.

Tub of Sprinkles
I mean, who doesn’t need over 2 POUNDS of sprinkles in their life?!? Go big or go home, right? 😉 Bonus: Not only are these F.U.N., but they're also natural - no artificial flavors or colors or high fructose corn syrup.

Milk & Cookies Wax Paper Sheets
from Bake it Write
No gift guide would be complete without Bake it Write’s very own product 🙂 Available at King Arthur Flour, too.

Lifestyle

‘Hot Girls Eat Cake’ Sweatshirt
from Overseasoned
I mean, need I say more?!?

Glass Blown Butter Ornament
Butter makes everything better. Even your Christmas tree.

2024 Calendar
American Molly J. Wilk is a cookbook author and (online) pastry instructor based in France, and she also just seems like an all-around fun person. She partnered with Dutch illustrator Anna Lena to create this gorgeous French pastry calendar.

Personalized Message Shortbread Cookies
from Uncommon Goods
Why text your message when you can put it on a cookie!

Recipe Book
from Papier
If you’re old school like me, this is for you. This design comes in multiple colors (I also love the pink/red), as well as this cute baking-themed design.

All boxed up and tied with a bow, this baking set from illustrator Emily Lex includes recipe cards, note cards, a tea towel, and a sticker.

Why bake a cake when you can…make a fake one??? I’m so intrigued!
