What to put in the gift basket?

I am trying to put together a gift basket for my sister. She loves to bake, especially breads. I have a warming stone and some tea towles so far, what else should I include?

What to put in the gift basket?
Gourmet bread mixes...
Reply:I agree with the gourmet bread mixes. Maybe also a new loaf pan? Maybe a good book of recipes?





You could also get some nice looking bottles and fill them with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, oats, or anything else she uses to make bread. Tie them off with some nice ribbon. Is there a local farmstand or orchard near you? Some of them might have homemade butters (like applebutter... yum) you could include. Or perhaps some jam?





Does she have a good bread knife? That might be a little expensive, though.





Good luck!
Reply:I agree with the rolling pin and wooden spoons - if she can use them.


What about some honey, jams and jellies, marmalade, etc.?
Reply:You could add some nice wooden spoons, bread mixes, nice chocolate chips, a few packets of yeast, specialty flours?
Reply:a bottle of wine, some bread (french bread) cheese, a bread recipe....
Reply:No offense, but to someone who REALLY loves to bake, getting a gift basket full of pre-packaged bread mixes might not be what she would consider a useful gift. I love to cook but dumping something out of a box isn't cooking to me.





How about:





--One or two really nice bread cookbooks





--A digital scale. Bread bakers often need to weigh their ingredients and a scale can be used for any other food item too.





--A baker's peel to go with the stone





--Different kinds of flours or grains so she can experiment





--A dough slasher





--A really good bread knife or bread board or both





--Paper bread bags so she can give her treats as gifts!





--Compound butters...fruit butters to spread on fresh bread.





--Gift card to a cooking store or website
Reply:You MUST include Tupperware!!!!!





There are a few pieces that are absolute "must haves" that she'll use for the rest of her life.





!. Silicone Mat - Used to line pans to save burning, mess, Used for Candy making, Things peel right off of it. Chocolate strawberries, overspilled nacho cheese. It can be used in the Oven, Microwave, Fridge and freezer AND best of all....it's dishwasher safe and it rolls up tiny to store.





2. Saucy silicone spatula - Not just a spatula for scraping bowls. This can be used in pans or pots up to 400 degrees for stirring and will never crack, melt, or curl up and it's diswasher safe (on sale now)





3. Thatsa Bowls- The MEGA size is awesome! It's HUGE!!!! It also has a hole on a small handle that helps you keep a hold of the bowl while you stir.





4. Quick Chef - hand held food processor- make smoothies, dips, homemade fresh salsa, egg salad, chop onions and potatoes easily for hash browns, etc. All dishwasher safe. You will never pull out the big bulky electric one again.





seriously...check out the site below to learn about what's new and what's classic. Tupperware is guaranteed for life.

Reply:How about a marble rolling pin and a good cookbook, like from your church(they are some of the best cooks) and an apron you made? Or a set of pyrex measuring cups and stainless measuring spoons? If you are looking for maybe some REAL spices and such...get a hold of a Watkins Dealer. But the best gift would be a subscription to Taste of Home and Quick Cooking magazines(avail at any place that sells magazines~renwal cards are inside) What's the occasion?
