2020 dessert lover gift guide

Fellow dessert lovers out there, raise your hands! I can never turn down a delicious cookie or cake or piece of chocolate. And for us dessert people, the holidays are an even more magical time. Desserts make easy, thoughtful gifts, and they are always appreciated by someone who loves sweets.

So, if you’re looking to treat yourself or another dessert lover in your life, grab some ideas from my delicious gift guide below!

1. Mason Jar Baking Mixes

If you have a friend who loooves dessert but doesn’t love baking, send them baking mix for their favorite cookies, conveniently packaged in an eco-friendly mason jar. Salt N Sprinkles’ mason jar baking mixes are vegan, gluten-free, and tasty. Plus, you’ll be supporting a Black-owned, women-owned local business in L.A. with your purchase!

2. Set of Melamine Mixing Bowls with Lids

Gimme all the rainbow kitchen accessories, please! I’m in love with this set of melamine mixing bowls by Williams Sonoma and Flour Shop founder Amirah Kassem. Amirah’s known for her famous Rainbow Cake, and these bowls have all the rainbow vibes.

3. Milk Jar Cookies Assorted Box

Need to send cookies to someone special? Choose how many cookies you’d like to send in a Milk Jar Cookies assorted box, and you’ll get a mix of their most popular cookies. Birthday Cookie, Chocolate Pecan Caramel, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, and more!

4. Milk Bar 6” Birthday Cake

No dessert lovers gift guide would be complete without Milk Bar’s iconic Birthday Cake! Rainbow-flecked vanilla cake, creamy frosting, crunchy crumbs, and rainbow sprinkles. It’s a grownup version of your childhood birthday cake!

7. Gourmet S’Mores Kit

Enough about cookies for a second. How about this gourmet s’mores kit from XO Marshmallow, a women-owned gourmet marshmallow brand? The kit includes gluten-free grahams, Hershey’s chocolate, and gourmet vanilla bean XO marshmallows, all wrapped up in the cutest packaging.

8. Celeste Cake Stand

Elevate your cake game (#sorrynotsorry for that pun) with a gold and enamel cake stand from Anthropologie! Once you place your finished cake on this cake stand, you won’t be able to resist sneaking a piece.

9. Flour Shop Adult Oven Mitt

Yum!

13. Flour Shop Mini Spatula Set

I promise this is my final rainbow-themed gift idea on this list! (I could totally add more, though.) If you have Amirah Kassem’s mixing bowl set and rainbow oven mitt…why not top it off with the Flour Shop set of mini spatulas? Colorful, functional, and great for making your own cakes!
