We’ve pulled together a list of 15 gifts for moms who love to cook and bake.

1.KitchenAid Stand Mixer
For the mom who deserves the very best
For many budding bakers, a KitchenAid stand mixer is the holy grail. It’s not cheap, and buying one means you’re committed to mastering your cooking craft. This Mother’s Day, treat your mama to one of the best stand mixers money can buy. KitchenAid’s five quart mixer is easy to set up and a pleasure to use. It’s equipped with 10 speeds and comes with a wire whisk, flat beater and dough hook.
2. Caraway Food Storage Set
For the mom who meal preps
We tested and loved Caraway's stunning new prepware set that is the perfect choice for the mom with an aesthetic kitchen, and this ceramic-coated glass food storage set is the next logical addition that will make leftovers look better than ever.
3. Made In Dutch Oven
For the mom who enjoys slow cooking
A great Dutch oven is a kitchen staple and the best one we've tested is Made In's Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. During our testing, the Made In Dutch Oven, which comes in five colors, impressed us with its amazing nonstick qualities, even heat distribution and moisture retention.
4. Hedley & Bennett Apron
For the messy mom
There's nothing like a special gift you know a mom won't buy for herself. The Crossback Apron from Hedley & Bennett is that special kind of gift — and the best apron we’ve tested, with adjustable straps and a lightweight, yet durable fabric. If you really want to impress mom this year, the apron, which comes in tons of colors and fun designs, even has an option for embroidery.
5. Our Place Wonder Oven
For the mom who does it all
The Wonder Oven will make a truly impressive Mother's Day gift for a multitasking mama. It air fries to perfection, the steam function works wonderfully, and the design is undeniably adorable.
6. A set of wooden spoons
For the mom who needs a utensil reset
Wooden spoons are effective, handle heat well and just happen to look gorgeous, too. This six-piece set of wooden spoons was chosen as one of our best wooden spoons of 2024 because of how they resist scratching and they are handmade of all-natural wood. A wooden storage barrel is also included to really make for a beautiful kitchen gift.
7. Cuisinart Mini Belgian Waffle Maker
For the mom who hosts brunch
The best waffle maker we've ever tested is Cuisinart's Mini Belgian Waffle Maker. We found it to make great waffles, it doesn't overflow, and it's unique vertical design is certainly a space saver.
8. Cuisinart Cookware set
For moms who cook big meals
If the mother figure in your life uses all her pots and pans to cook dinner every night, consider upping her game with our best value cookware set, The 12-piece Stainless Steel Cuisinart set. We loved how their aluminum core makes them not too heavy, and they sear to perfection.
9. Brass measuring cups and spoons
For aesthetic measuring
These Simple Brass Measuring Cups and Spoons from Food52 will make a beautiful addition to your host's collection of baking accessories. Their minimalist, sculptural design with simple curves will look good in anyone's kitchen, plus they're dishwasher safe.
10. Nutr Plant Based Milk Maker
For the dairy-free mom
Dairy-free folks often have to suffer from added costs for milk alternatives like oat milk and almond milk. That's why investing in a plant-based milk maker, like the Nutr, is a game-changer. When we tested it, we fell in love with the foolproof creamy results, convenient self-clean setting, and small footprint that made for easy storage.
11. Staub Cast-Iron Oval Gratin Baking Dish
For the mom who loves playing hostess
While any cook knows a good recipe should stand on its own taste, there is something to be said for a nice presentation. Help your mom’s favorite dish look as good as it tastes with a Staub Cast-Iron Oval Gratin Baking Dish in lilac, which we think is perfect for Mother's Day brunch!
12. A Keurig single serve coffee maker
For the mom who enjoys a good cup of joe with her pastry
What goes best with mom’s fresh batch of muffins? A cup of coffee, of course. Keurig’s K-Café Smart single serve coffee maker can brew a fresh mug in just a few minutes, and because it makes customized coffee, lattes, and comes with a milk frother that works very well, we named it our most versatile single serve coffee maker.
13. Silicone baking mats
For the macaron-making mom
If mom’s been considering dabbling in the French culinary arts, consider picking her up a set of four silicone baking mats. These food-grade mats are non-stick and heat resistant, and are marked with circles of different sizes, meaning mom will know exactly what shape to make her macarons. The set includes two macaron mats, one thicker baking mat and a 9-inch round pizza mat.
14. Emile Henry Modern Classic Pie Dish
For the pie-baking mom
The pie-baking mother figure in your life will feel elated to receive an Emile Henry Modern Classic Pie Dish, the best pie dish we've tested. It's deep enough to hold plenty of delicious filling, and designed with ruffled edges to achieve that perfect, flaky crust.
15. Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale
For the mom who loves the science of baking
A lot of professional chefs don't enjoy baking because unlike in cooking, using precise measurements is critical. If your mom is a perfectionist in the kitchen, consider grabbing her Etekcity’s digital kitchen scale. The scale is incredibly precise, and she can choose between standard and metric measurements. She’ll be Great British Baking Show-ready in no time.
