Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For The Baker
Valentine’s day is a day to celebrate your loved ones and yourself ☺️ This Valentine’s day gift guide for the baker is a curated list of baking related (and some not baking related) gift ideas. I know Valentine’s day is marketed as a day of ooey gooey romance, but I believe it’s also a lighthearted way to celebrate friends and family (even co-workers? mailman?) that you love. Giving someone a sweet treat or a gift can brighten their day, or treat yourself because you are worth it!
