The Best Holiday Gifts for At-Home Bakers
Turn On the Oven, Grab a Whisk, and Order Up These Baker-Friendly Gifts
Have a friend that can’t tear themselves away from the Great British Baking Show? Who’s always bringing over new cakes and bakes for you to try? These gifts are the perfect way to say “Thanks (and keep ‘em coming!)” this holiday season. From unique ingredients that’ll delight any experimental baker to gift boxes that’ll fulfill all their baking needs, we’ve got six gifting ideas that are sure to make your favorite at-home baker happy.
For the friend that’s always up on trends, opt for our Hot Chocolate and Dalgona Coffee gift box. Not only are these ingredients perfect for whipping up that frothy, whipped drink we all know and love, they’re also perfect for baking anything that blends coffee and chocolate for an extra-rich flavor experience. Bake up a batch of brownies and sprinkle a tablespoon of coffee granules into the batter, or use coffee to flavor homemade buttercream (for frosting chocolate cupcakes, of course). With this set, there’s really no wrong choice.
Dark Chocolate Coffee Toffee
For the friend that likes to get experimental with their baking, choose our dark chocolate coffee toffee. Not only is it fun to say (try saying it 5 times fast!), this sweet is homemade locally with all clean ingredients. It also happens to be the perfect ingredient to add to a variety of bakes. Picture it: cookies with layers of this coffee toffee folded in, or cakes with coffee toffee crumbled on top for a delicious crunch. Although its delicious eaten on its own, this gift is a dream for the eager at-home baker.
Recipe Box
For the friend that likes doing things the old-fashioned way, a recipe box is the ideal solution for keeping recipes organized and ready to reference. For an added personal touch, fill out a few of the cards with some of your favorite dishes before wrapping it up (we suggest checking out our recipe blog for some inspiration!).
Cinnamon Latte Granola
For the friend that likes to keep things healthy, check out our cinnamon latte granola. This warm cinnamon-and-coffee combo is perfect for sprinkling on top of baked breakfast dishes like oven oatmeal or for using in a sweet granola cookie recipe. These autumnal, cozy flavors are hard to beat, and everyone knows a little crunch goes a long way when it comes to making dishes more exciting.
Tart Red Cherry and Coffee Jam
For the friend that always makes the best Christmas cookies, this tart red cherry and coffee jam is a delicious choice. Tangy cherry mingles beautifully with coffee’s natural fruity notes, coming together for a deeper balance of flavors that you’ll want to eat by the spoonful. With a festive red hue, this jam also happens to be perfect for adding to classic Christmas cookies like thumbprints or linzers.
A Kitchen Scale
For the friend that’s all about accuracy, choose a kitchen scale. Eliminate the need to perfectly measure out cocoa or espresso powder with a cup or spoon, and instead trust the precise readings of this convenient device. Not only will it minimize clean-up (no more scoops to clean!), it’ll also guarantee your favorite coffee cake comes out perfectly every time.
Coffee Creamed Honey
For the friend that’s always sweet, opt for our coffee creamed honey. While this unique honey, blended for us by our partners at Bee Friends Farm, is delicious spread on a piece of toast, it’s also a tasty addition to everything from pound cakes to cheesecakes to tarts. Try substituting this sweetener for sugar and marvel at the new flavor it brings to your favorite recipes. Coffee’s natural earthiness plays to honey’s own here for a combination that’s oh-so-sweet.
For the friend that can never choose from a restaurant menu, eliminate the need to pick just one. This gourmet craft baking and drink box offers up the best of every world, with coconut chips, honey crystals, espresso powder, crystallized ginger, cacao nibs, instant coffee granules, espresso chili rub, and panela – all all-natural and non-GMO, of course. Oh, and did we mention they’ll also get a convenient milk frother, scoop, coasters, and rock candy? They’ll enjoy a fully stocked pantry full of craft baking ingredients, and you’ll enjoy all of the things they’ll be baking with their new ingredients.
