So I'm looking to be buying Christmas gifts probably today for somebody.

She loves baking, and enjoys cooking in general.

So I'm trying to find something along those lines. She has shitty plastic spatulas and stuff, so I was considering trying to find a nice set, possibly special ordered with a monogram or something.

Multiple things can be considered, probably $150 limit not including any sort of shipping.

Started here, but definitely could use some help

Also, it's almost that time of year, so general gift idea/gift help thread.

Damnit, you were here this weekend, weren't you?

Oh shit. Yeah. I totally forgot to text you. It was pretty much a whirlwind of fun.

I'm a bit like that with the gf but I think I know what I'll get her.

An oven?

No but in all seriousness, maybe something along the lines fancy porcelain or metal baking trays, plates, cutlery and cookware etc. Or a celebrity chefs cook book. Or even a bread maker or does she prefer to make bread from scratch? Not too sure to be honest but hopefully that might help.

Yeah those are good ideas, the problem is finding some of that stuff, like porcelain wear. No on the cookbooks though, she hates those.

No on the bread maker because she has one.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Quality cooking utensils are always appreciated by cooks. Personally I'd skip the monogram though.

I upgraded my measuring cups and spoons earlier this year, really like these.

Measuring spoons are here:

Well the monogram is just an idea, I know she would really like it though, but it won't be a deciding factor or anything, just if I can fit it into the budget.

Also, I should have mentioned she already has some pretty measuring cups, and plates and pots and pans. Her dad gave her like a $1700 set of copper pots and pans made in Italy.

So that's what I've got to measure up with. Maybe there are some good utensils or something I can find?

dunno if this site is any good but they seem to do personalised pans and bakeware

If she likes to bake, a high quality mixer might be appreciated
