Why essential spices make a good gift

  • Covers the spices that holiday cookies, pies and gingerbread recipes ask for most often.
  • Useful all year, from fall pumpkin loaves to spring muffins and weekend cinnamon buns.
  • Easy to share with a household that bakes together during the holiday season.

What to look for

  • Check which spices are included so the kit does not repeat what they already own.
  • Compare jar or tin sizes, since small samplers run out quickly for frequent bakers.
  • See whether spices are whole or ground, and whether a grater comes with whole nutmeg.
