Valentine’s day gift giving can be tricky. Treats like candy and roses are a no-brainer, but what if your special someone prefers to bake their own romantic desserts? This year, treat the baker in your life to a thoughtful gift they can actually use.
Rose-Shaped Bundt Pan
For festive and decorative dessert, look no further than a rose-shaped Bundt cake pan ($32). This cast aluminum pan helps to achieve perfect browning and even cooking throughout. With a non-stick surface, your favorite baker can whip up moist, melt-in-your-mouth cakes with ease. (Psst: For bonus points, surprise them with one of our best bundt cake recipes!)
Silicone Baking Mats
A baker’s best friend is any tool that prevents burning and sticking. This year, treat your special someone to a silicone baking mat ($40). These sheets work with even the most delicate desserts and make for easy clean up every time. Simply bake on it, wipe it down after use and repeat.
Hand Blender
Even professional pastry chefs get tired of whisking dough and sauces. Save your sweetheart from this daunting task with an immersion blender ($59). It easily purees batter, soups and blends baking mixes that are perfectly smooth every time. Learn exactly how to use an immersion blender with our handy guide.
Pancake and Crepe Maker
What’s better than breakfast in bed? Breakfast in bed made easy. Treat your sweetie to a pancake and crepe maker ($36). This convenient tool ensures fluffy pancakes and crispy crepes with the flip of a rotating plate.
Dessert Salt Set
The only thing that makes sweets taste even sweeter is a pinch of salt.

It’s no secret that bakers are early risers. Help them fuel their day with their very own frosted donut coffee mug ($12). Perfect for pairing with homemade confections!
Marble Pastry Board
A marble pastry board ($70) is the ultimate surface for rolling out dough, cutting cookies and taking gorgeous food photos. The smooth surface stays cool, which helps to prevent delicate dough from sticking or pulling. Your favorite baker can make elegant pastry recipes with ease.
