Top 5 Baking Gifts
1) Biodegradable Plastic Mixing Bowls

Bamboozle Home: Biodegradable Plastic Mixing Bowls - Black
2) Flex-it Flexible Silicone Measuring Cups - Set of 3

Made of sturdy yet flexible food-grade silicone, these measuring cups pour liquid precisely with no spills. The design allows you to form a spout anywhere on the flexible rim and the silicone material grips the counter to provide traction and stability. Measurement level indicators are clear and easy to read for precise measuring.
3) Superstone Covered Baker

Create superior, crackly crusted breads with this oblong ceramic baker. The unglazed interior has the same effect as a brick oven—drawing moisture from the dough. Also great for roasting vegetables, meats, and stews.
4) “Vanilla" Book by Patricia Rain

Follow along with recipes from the Vanilla Queen, Patricia Rain, as she traces the history of vanilla across the globe and back to its earliest days. Learn how to let this versatile spice shine in any cuisine. Don’t just limit yourself to cookies and cakes—vanilla is a stealthy flavor enhancer in savory dishes, too.
5) Shaker Rolling Pin

The Shaker Rolling Pin is a classic—possibly the same design your grandmother used. With simple lines and a solid feel, it rolls quickly at a weight of almost two pounds.
