Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves artisanal bread baking, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. These gifts will not only enable him to continue pursuing his passion, but also enhance his knowledge and skills in the world of bread baking. Here are some ideas:

1. Bread Baking Course: Consider enrolling your son in a professional bread baking class or workshop. This gift will give him the opportunity to learn from experts and gain valuable in-depth knowledge about the art of bread making. Look for a course that focuses on artisanal techniques, such as sourdough or traditional European breads.

2. Bread Baking Tools and Equipment: Every baker needs the right tools to create their masterpieces. Consider gifting your son with high-quality bread baking tools and equipment. Look for items such as a dough scraper, proofing baskets, baking stones, and a Dutch oven for baking bread with a perfect crust. These tools will not only make his baking process easier but also enhance the overall quality of his bread.

3. Bread Recipe Book: A comprehensive bread recipe book can be an invaluable gift for your son. Look for a book that offers a wide variety of artisanal bread recipes, including different bread types, techniques, and flavor combinations. This will inspire him to experiment with new recipes and improve his baking skills.

4. Specialty Bread Ingredients: Help your son elevate his bread baking by gifting him with unique ingredients and flavors. Look for specialty flours, seeds, herbs, or spices that he can incorporate into his bread recipes. These ingredients will allow him to create delicious and distinctive bread variations.

5. Personalized Bread Baking Apron: A personalized bread baking apron can be a thoughtful and heartfelt gift for your son. Consider having his name or a witty bread-related phrase embroidered on the apron. This will not only make him feel recognized and appreciated but also add a personal touch to his baking experience.

6. Bread Scoring Tool: A bread scoring tool, also known as a lame, is used to create beautiful patterns on the surface of bread before baking. Gifting your son with a high-quality scoring tool will allow him to showcase his creativity and enhance the aesthetic appeal of his bread.

7. Bread Baking Subscription Box: Consider subscribing your son to a monthly bread baking subscription box. These boxes often include various artisanal bread mixes, unique ingredients, and recipes delivered right to his doorstep. This gift will provide him with a continuous source of inspiration and new baking experiences throughout the year.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is to support your son's passion for artisanal bread baking and provide him with tools and resources that will encourage growth and exploration in his craft.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
