Know someone who loves baking? And stuck on what gifts to buy for them? I have rounded up some of the best gifts for bakers that will make them enjoy baking even more.

Salter Contour Digital Kitchen Timer

A perfect bake needs perfect gadgets and Salter have all of the kitchen gadgets one could possibly need to achieve the perfect bake, every single time. Featured in the guide are two products from Salter - a Digital Kitchen Timer and a Add & Weigh Jug Kitchen Scale.

A digital timer is very handy to have in every kitchen. Whether it is overcooked veggies or an overdone cake, you can bid goodbye to them with a digital kitchen timer. The Salter Contour Digital Kitchen Timer has an ultra-modern, slick design, is easy to use and has a large start/stop button. The timer is self-standing and the times are displayed clearly on a large LCD display. And priced at just £12.99, it makes for a very practical and useful gift.

I love things which have multiple uses and Salter's range of Jug and Bowl Kitchen Scales are just that. These kitchen scales are the perfect tool to help you accurately weigh wet or dry ingredients and can also be simply used as a jug or mixing bowl. These jug scales come in a number of designs and with both mechanical or digital options.

Salter Add & Weigh Jug Kitchen Scale

Featured in this roundup is the Add & Weigh Jug Kitchen Scale from Salter which has a 1.5 litre capacity, is dishwasher safe and allows you to add and weigh multiple ingredients at the same time making food prep quicker and easier. The jug scale allows you to add in dry ingredients after wet or the other way and it is equally easy to pour the mixture out again. It is a perfect accessory for baking - just makes baking so much more quicker and enjoyable.

It is priced at £14.99, which I think is a very good price for such a fab and useful product.

Baking class at London's most sustainable cookery school

And rounding up my list is another fab gift idea - a baking class at Cookery School in London. Set up by Rosalind Rathouse in 2003, the school offers a range of day and evening cooking classes for all ages and abilities. Their cake making class would make a wonderful gift for a budding baker. Even those who bake regularly will leave with some tips and tricks after attending the class. According to Cookery School, participants of the cake making class will learn the different methods and styles of cake making using standard home kitchen equipment and will leave with the knowledge and understanding to make the delicious recipes at home.
