Bakedin Baking Club (monthly baking subscription / gift subscription)
Our verdict · An ongoing surprise-in-the-post gift that works when the budget is small or you have no idea what kit they own.
Buy it if
The budget is modest, the recipient is a beginner, improver or child, or you simply don't know what equipment they have.
Skip it if
They're an experienced baker who prefers choosing their own recipes and ingredients, or if you want a lasting physical keepsake — this is consumable.

This is the only pick that's an ongoing experience rather than a one-off object, and the only one that scales from around £10 to roughly £90, so it's the go-to when budget is tight or the recipient's kit is unknown. Each box contains all the dry ingredients pre-measured and numbered, a step-by-step recipe card and extras such as baking paper and a butter measure, using local Hampshire flour, Belgian chocolate and Madagascan vanilla, so there's little waste. Three streams — Baking Club, Bread Baking Club and a Junior Baking Club for ages 5–11 — let you match it to the recipient, and it's the one clearly child-appropriate gift here. Crucially, choose the fixed-term gift subscription rather than a personal plan: the gift version sends the first box immediately with an activation code and doesn't bill the recipient, whereas personal plans auto-renew (though those have no tie-in and can be cancelled anytime, with free UK delivery). The trade-off is that it's consumable, so it suits beginners and improvers more than an experienced baker who prefers their own recipes. Entry pricing is indicative — from £7.50/month on the 12-month plan (£90 total); shorter terms cost more per month.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Scales across a wide budget and needs no knowledge of the recipient's equipment
- Pre-weighed, numbered ingredients make it low-waste and beginner-friendly
- Junior stream makes it the clearly child-appropriate baker gift, and the gift version doesn't bill the recipient
Cons
- Consumable, not a lasting keepsake
- Too basic for an experienced baker who prefers choosing their own recipes
