Questions You Might Ask

What are the best gift cards for people who love baking?

If you’re unsure what to buy for a baking enthusiast, a gift card is always a safe choice. Cox suggests selecting one from craft stores like Michaels or Joann’s for baking supplies, or a coffee shop gift card—since coffee and pastries are a perfect pair.
