Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband's birthday, why not surprise him with some thoughtful gifts that cater to his passion for bread baking and artisanal bread making? Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

1. Bread Baking Cookbook: Help your husband expand his bread baking repertoire with a cookbook focused on artisanal bread recipes. Look for one that covers different techniques, flavors, and types of bread, providing him with a wealth of recipes to experiment with.

2. Dough Scraper Set: A dough scraper is an essential tool for every bread baker. Consider getting him a high-quality set that includes both a bench scraper and a bowl scraper. These tools will help him handle and shape dough more efficiently, ensuring his bread turns out perfect each time.

3. Bread Baking Class or Workshop: If your husband is interested in taking his bread making skills to the next level, consider gifting him a bread baking class or workshop. Look for local culinary schools or cooking studios that offer hands-on experiences where he can learn new techniques and tips from seasoned bakers.

4. Bread Baking Tools: Enhance your husband's bread baking arsenal with some artisanal tools. A bread lame (a tool used to score bread before baking) with extra blades, a bread proofing basket, a high-quality bread stone, or a Dutch oven for baking sourdough bread are all excellent choices. These tools will not only equip him with the essentials but will also make his bread baking experience more enjoyable.

5. Bread Subscription Box: Treat your husband to a monthly bread subscription box that delivers a variety of artisanal bread directly to your doorstep. Look for a subscription service that offers a diverse selection, including sourdough bread, specialty loaves, and unique flavors, allowing him to savor different bread types without leaving the comfort of home.

6. Bread Cookware: To help your husband achieve bakery-quality results at home, consider gifting him professional-grade bread cookware. A Danish dough whisk for effortless mixing, a bread form for shaping baguettes, or a bread cloche for a perfect crust are all excellent options that will take his bread baking endeavors to new heights.

7. Bread Baking Ingredients: Assist your husband in creating delicious bread by putting together a curated selection of high-quality baking ingredients. Include specialty flours (e.g., rye or whole wheat), premium yeast or sourdough starter, gourmet sea salts, and unique spices or flavorings to add a creative touch to his bread creations.

8. Personalized Bread Stamp: Add a personal touch to your husband's bread by gifting him a custom-made bread stamp. You can have it personalized with his name, a special message, or a unique design that reflects his love for baking. It's a small but meaningful gesture that will make his bread truly one-of-a-kind.

With these gift ideas, you can celebrate your husband's passion for bread baking and artisanal bread making, ensuring that his birthday gift is both thoughtful and personal.

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

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
