Christmas Project #4 - Baking Pan Gift Set



I love this gift idea!  And not only is it a good one for Christmas, but it would work well too as a birthday gift, shower gift, housewarming present, even for Mother's Day.  And who wouldn't love to be the recipient of this?!  I sure would.

gimme, gimme, gimme

Super simple and you can do it one of two ways.  Either purchase a brand new baking pan from the store or if your recipient is into the old stuff you could do this with a vintage pan purchased from a thrift store or antique mall.  You know if you give me a pink Pyrex baking dish as a gift I'm in heaven!


Once you figure out the baking dish or pan you want to give simply add something to bake in it.  For a cake pan, to me the obvious choice is a couple of yummy cake or brownie mixes.  Maybe even a tub of frosting too.


Baking mixes can be picked up and set aside whenever they are on sale.  You probably have a couple extra ones in your pantry, truth be told.  With baking sheets I think it would be fun to do the cookie mixes, with some sprinkles and a spatula.  You are good to go.


Or, get even more creative and make your own homemade baking mix in a quart jar.  Attach the instructions with a card and some ribbon too.  You are only as limited as your own imagination.  So many possibilities.  Just have fun with it.

And remember, only 8 more months until Christmas! Ha, ha!  Anybody started preparing yet?

  1. I have done something similar for cake walks that my children have sponsored. These no-baked options were usually the first to go and waaaaay easier than decorating a cake or having to bring home several cakes!!

    Thanks for the reminder... I think my son who just moved out will be getting this for a Christmas gift!

    1. Deb that is a GREAT idea for a cakewalk. I'm going to do that next time I'm tapped for a cake. Thanks for that!

  2. What a neat idea! Thanks for sharing.

    I shop for Christmas year round, so I'm almost halfway done already. Of course I have to wait for gift card deals and items that will only be released over the holidays, but I've planned for it and save towards it. I try to pay for Christmas with earned gift cards, CC points and by selling our old stuff.

    1. I'm trying to do a "no spend" Christmas this year with gift cards and freebies. I'm a little envious that you have hit the halfway mark already.

  3. I’ve started buying a few gifts already. I’ve also pulled apart two wool sweaters to make dryer balls. I have just enough but i’d like to make a few more. Wool sweaters are hard to find!
    Love your idea with the pans and mixes! Food is always a good gift, in my opinion!

    1. I confess, I've done very little in the way of gifts. I've got my cards and gift wrap supplies ready though and a list made so at least I know what the plan is.
