A Smarter Rolling Pin
This adorable rolling pin from Food 52 couldn’t be more smart or foolproof. It’s adjustable for 5 size options, making it easy to get the perfect amount of thickness for whatever you’re baking.

The Classic Splurge
The KitchenAid stand mixer doesn’t come cheap, at just under $400, but if you’re looking to splurge on your favorite baker, this is a great way to go. It’s the ultimate in bakeware accessories, sleek and functional and sure to last for decades to come. It also comes in an array of attach-ons for kneading bread, specialty mixing, and more. Not to mention, it looks great in a kitchen.

For The Great British Bake Off Fans
If you’re a fan of the BBC show The Great British Bake Off, you’ll know there are few greater achievements for home bakers than perfecting the classic shortbread cookie. This super cute Nordic shortbread mold will give your home baker a major leg up in that department. Made out of extra-deep nonstick cast aluminum, this mold will help keep your shortbread at the optimum temperature in the oven, and will leave them with a beautiful classic shortbread design on top.

A Kitchen Scale for Design Buffs
A good scale is integral for any home baker, and this one from Escali is one of our favorites. It has an 11 pound capacity but is super sleek and elegant, especially compared to the majority of scales we see which look straight out of an office break room.
