Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who adores bread baking, why not consider getting him some special and meaningful gifts that will enhance his favorite hobby? Here are a few ideas that might make his Christmas even more special:

1. Bread Baking Books: Consider getting him a collection of bread baking recipe books or specific books on advanced bread baking techniques. Look for books that cover different types of bread, including sourdough, artisanal loaves, and specialty bread from around the world. These books can inspire him to try new recipes and improve his baking skills.

2. Bread Baking Classes or Workshops: If your son is always looking to learn and better his skills, look for local bread baking classes or workshops in your area. These classes can provide hands-on experience and expert guidance that will take his baking to the next level. This gift will not only be educational but also a chance for him to meet other bread enthusiasts.

3. High-Quality Bread Baking Tools: Consider upgrading his bread baking tools. Look for a bread lame (a special tool used to score bread before baking), a high-quality dough scraper, a set of bread proofing baskets, or even a cast iron Dutch oven for baking artisanal loaves. These tools will not only improve the quality of his bread but also make the baking process more enjoyable.

4. Bread Baking Kits: Consider gifting him a bread baking kit that includes pre-measured ingredients, specialized flours, and a recipe to make a specific type of bread. There are various kits available, including sourdough starter kits or kits to make specific bread like baguettes or focaccia. These kits are perfect for a fun and hassle-free baking experience.

5. Personalized Bread Board or Bread Box: Look for a wooden bread board or a bread storage box that can be personalized with your son's name or a special message. This unique and thoughtful gift will not only be functional but will also bring a personal touch to his baking routine.

6. Bread-Making Ingredients: Consider putting together a gift basket with high-quality bread-making ingredients. Include different types of flours (e.g., whole wheat, rye, spelt), specialty grains and seeds (e.g., flaxseeds, sesame seeds), and a selection of dried herbs and spices. You could also add some unique toppings, like gourmet sea salts or flavored oils. This gift will allow him to experiment with flavors and textures in his bread baking.

7. Bread Baking Subscription Service: Explore bread baking subscription services that deliver curated bread baking ingredients and recipes to his doorstep every month. This way, he can try new recipes and ingredients regularly, keeping his passion for baking alive.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support and encourage his passion for bread baking. Whatever gift you choose, make sure it comes from the heart and represents the love and admiration you have for him.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
