5. For moms with style: A beautiful baking dish
While any baker knows a good dessert should stand on its own merits, there is something to be said for a nice presentation. Help your mom’s dessert look as good as it tastes with a pie pan from KitchenAid’s new line of light green vitrified stoneware. It’s got a mid-century modern vibe that’s a little bit retro, but it’s made for 21st century bakers. Our reviewer has one and loves it, using it to bake up recipes that have been passed down through the women in her family. There are eight different dishes in the line, from a pair of ramekins to a large rectangular baker, meaning you can tailor your pick to the dish you think your mom would appreciate the most, or better yet, gift her the entire set!

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.

Reviewers swear by Mrs. Anderson’s ceramic pie weights, which are heat-resistant to 480 degrees and come in their own convenient storage container. Some people recommend buying two boxes at once, just so you’ll definitely have enough to cover the bottom of any shell you make, but at just $5.99 a box, that’s easy enough.
