🎁 Gift guide for baking moms!

Published 12 days ago • 3 min read

If you have a hard time thinking of what to get your mom, your mother-in-law, or any woman in your life that deserves a gift on mother's day... I created this gift guide with baking moms (+ all women) in mind.

Hopefully you find some helpful inspiration at the very least!

And for those of you that have lost your mom, wish to be a mom, or can't become a mom, I see you and I acknowledge how difficult this holiday is.

Life is too short, so hug all the women in your life + say 'I love you.'

Cheers!
Stephanie

Rifle Paper Co.

I have been buying gifts from the Rifle brand for as long as I can remember. They have helpful organizational tools like my handy three-ring recipe binder that fits all the printed recipes from my blog. I also love their aprons, oven mitts, tea towels, mugs, meal planners, greeting cards and more.

Sales: Gift bundles are an additional 20% off in addition to the Treat Yourself mother's day sale (only lasts through May 1st!)

Treat Yourself! 20% Off $50 or 25% Off $75

Lindt

From delicious truffles to dark cocoa bars and flavored chocolates, this is one of my favorite gifts to give when I don't have time to bake.

Mother's Day 2024

Ghirardelli

Okay, on the subject of chocolate... I bake very often with Ghirardelli Chocolate Bars (baking quality). Their chocolate yields some of the most delicious brownies ever! And I really believe that quality ingredients makes a huge difference in baking.

They also have amazing individual wrapped chocolates that make great gifts too!

Le Creuset

If you're a Le Creuset fan, then receiving one of these enameled cast iron beauties is basically the best gift ever, right?! I found these gorgeous petal braisers and I'm in love.

Sales: Their build-a-set is up to 30% off with code BUILDASET.

Caraway

It's no secret how much I love my Caraway bakeware and use their loaf pan almost exclusively now. Their products are non-toxic and non-stick which is amazing for baking and cooking in general.

I just broke up with my toxic non-stick coated pots + pans and recently got the Caraway stainless steel pots + pans set and I'm in love. They are high quality and will last me decades, plus they are easy to clean! I also have my eye on their gorgeous tea kettles too...

Sales:
Family Time Bundle - $799 (15% off)
Cookware Set + Minis Duo + Baking Sheet Duo + Food Storage Set
Mealtime Essentials Bundle - $382.50 (10% off)
Minis Duo + Baking Sheet Duo + Utensil Set

Art of Tea

Okay, speaking of tea kettles... art of tea has some amazing loose leaf teas like their Sencha Cherry Blossom, a monthly tea subscription (highly rated, but I haven't tried it yet), and a gorgeous matcha gift set that I would love to receive (wink, wink, husband hopefully reading this)!

KitchenAid

KitchenAid just came out with Blue Salt, a brand new color in their Artisan stand mixer line and it is a gorgeous. If I needed another KitchenAid mixer, this is absolutely what I’d get!

They also have lots of great stand mixer accessories like different bowls and scraper attachments that make excellent gifts if your momma already has a stand mixer.

Love making ice cream? Get the KitchenAid ice cream maker bowl attachment and make perfectly soft homemade ice cream in 25 minutes. We use ours all the time and love it!

Sales: New accounts can use code SAVETEN24 for 10% off. They are also offering $120 off select refurbished stand mixers.

Pillivuyt

Gorgeous French porcelain for all dinner & baking needs. Perfect gift for a tart baker or crème brulee lover! They have wonderful ramekins, tart dishes, crème brulee dishes, cake stands, and more!

The crisp white classic look makes food presentation simple. They’re made in France but ship from their U.S. based warehouse so they should arrive in time for Mother’s Day.

I have a great relationship with this company. They send me products to try and I truly love baking with them. Pictured is my ham + cheese quiche in their Toulouse round tart dish.

Fun fact: French porcelain is thermal-shock resistant so it can go directly from the freezer to the oven without breaking. Perfect for tarts + pies.

Try The World

A gift for the person that has everything. Try The World sells gourmet snacks and treats from, you guessed it, around the world. I've gifted their lowest priced gift box of 7-9 snacks ($40) and my gift recipient chose their own snacks!

Sales: If they still are honoring it, use code GETAWAY20 for 20% at checkout. If that doesn't work, their mother's day code LOVEMOM will still get you 15% off.

Take a Food Journey Around the World!

Hi Baking Buddy, I've officially been running the blog for ONE FULL YEAR! And I wanted to pop into your inbox today with a personal story to celebrate that milestone. I believe baking is the ultimate expression of love. Whether we’re baking cakes for birthdays, parties, weddings, funerals or ‘just because’... baking is about showing our loved ones they're worth our time. Baking is my love language, and I suspect it's yours, too. I took over Pretty. Simple. Sweet. at the start of April 2023,...
