For your boyfriend who loves cooking and baking bread from scratch, here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that he will surely appreciate:

1. Bread Baking Starter Kit: Surprise him with a complete bread baking starter kit that includes essential tools such as a bread pan, dough scraper, proofing basket, bread lame, and a kitchen scale. This will not only enhance his bread baking experience but also provide him with the necessary tools to experiment and perfect his recipes.

2. Specialty Bread Cookbook: Find a cookbook that focuses on different types of specialty bread recipes. Look for one that includes unique and traditional bread recipes from around the world. This will offer him a wide array of options to explore and expand his culinary skills.

3. Bread Baking Class or Workshop: Enroll him in a bread baking class or workshop where he can learn new techniques, tips, and tricks from professional bakers. This hands-on experience will not only further his knowledge but also provide him with an opportunity to interact with like-minded enthusiasts.

4. Artisan Bread Ingredients: Surprise him with a basket filled with high-quality and unique bread ingredients. Look for special flours like rye or whole wheat, exotic spices, gourmet oils or vinegars, and unique toppings like seeds or dried fruits. These ingredients will inspire him to try new recipes and flavors.

5. Personalized Bread Lame: A bread lame is an essential tool used to score the bread before baking, creating beautiful designs. Consider getting him a personalized bread lame with his name or a special message engraved on it. It will add a personalized touch to his baking process and make him smile every time he uses it.

6. Bread Recipe Journal: Help him organize and document his favorite bread recipes by gifting him a bread recipe journal. This will allow him to record his experiments, modifications, and successful creations in one place, making it easier for him to revisit and recreate his favorite loaves.

7. Bread Board or Proofing Basket: Upgrade his bread-making equipment with a high-quality bread board or a proofing basket. Look for a wooden bread board with engraved measurements or a beautiful handcrafted proofing basket. These tools not only serve a functional purpose but can also be displayed in the kitchen as a unique and decorative piece.

Remember, the most important thing when selecting a gift for your boyfriend is to show that you have put thought into his passion for cooking and baking bread. Consider his preferences, interests, and any items he may have mentioned wanting in the past. Ultimately, whatever gift you choose, he will appreciate knowing that you support and encourage his love for the culinary arts.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
