As seen in the Great British Bake Off tent and coveted by passionate home cooks for a century, KitchenAid has been one of the industry leaders in stand mixers for the last 100 years, and it’s easy to see why. Extremely versatile, the attachment-ready Artisan stand mixer has a 4.8 litre bowl and comes with four accessories included. It will be top of Santa's wish-list for many a home cook. Did we mention that it's at the top of our list for the best stand mixers, too?
Based on the iconic Nutcracker ballet by Tchaikovsky, this very festive apron will help to protect your sparkling Christmas jumper from flour puffs and dinner spills. It's made from cotton for comfort which also means that it is machine washable, too.
If you're a fan of the print you could get the matching double oven gloves to complete the look.
Perfect for mince pies – it even has it written on the plate – this Emma Bridgewater piece is the perfect way to display a staple Christmas treat. It's dishwasher and microwave safe so it can be used time and time again, when you're restocking those festive pastries (yum!)
If you're yet to decorate the Christmas cake then boy, are you in for a treat. This looks lush and very festive. It's more to eat AND will mean that there is no wastage when you cut into the cake. You'll just need to be careful when securing it because it's pretty delicate.
If you want a little cake and quick, this cupcake maker from Lakeland will do the trick. It'll make up to seven scrummy cakes which won't stick to the pan. And then, when you're all done, cleaning will be easy as pie (eating cake) too.
There's some recipes included in the box so you can rise to the challenge as soon as it arrives, unless you already have a recipe in mind that is...
This delightful set of three striking cake tins from Joules are perfect for all-year-round use, not just for Christmas. They'll keep all the baked goodies fresh and looking pretty before consumed. A lovely gift idea for any baker.
A must-have for showing off that fresh batch of perfectly risen scones or showstopper Christmas cake, a classic cake stand is always a safe bet. This fine china cake stand from John Lewis is timeless so if in doubt about what colours and patterns they prefer, go plain and simple.
Tea towels are mega useful in the kitchen, especially for mopping up any baking spills or covering the stand mixer so no flour dare escape. The perfect print for this time of year (and who doesn't like sprouts?) it'll quickly become the centre piece around a working kitchen. Oh and it's got a hanging loop so it can be hung up out of the way when it's not needed.
A baking essential, the magic starts in the mixing bowl. This example from Mason Cash is a firm favourite amongst the bakers at Real Homes. It's timeless and is oh so very durable, too. It comes in various colours but our fave is that one pictured, classic.
We love a Kilner jar. They're just so useful. Whether you're preserving a chutney or storing some flour, they are a fab storage solution for bakers all over the country. If they don' have the cupboard space to store them, they'll look wonderful if left out on a shelf or kitchen worktop.
The best bit? It all dishwasher safe. Lovely.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a selection of show-stopping mince pies. To get them looking their best, a pastry cutter will help to shape the pastry for you. They could even be used to make gingerbread biscuits and shortbread, too.
We know we would say this but Real Homes magazine is a fab read – as well as being a great reference for anyone looking to transform their home. A subscription means they'll know all the latest on updating an owned or rented home. Whether on a budget or splashing out on a forever family home. It covers the latest recipes which would be worth a try, too. The gift that keep on giving...
