Searching for the perfect gift for a pie enthusiast? This sweet gift guide has everything a true pie lover needs. Each gift is not only thoughtful, but practical which makes them ideal presents for anyone who believes that life is always better with pie!
Essential Pie-Making Tools
Here are some of the best gift every pie lover’s kitchen needs to be stocked with:
Food Processor – A food processor is your best friend when it comes to making pie crusts of all sorts. Pulse flour, butter, and water together for a classic buttery pie crust. You can also use it to crush crumbs for a simple graham cracker crust.
Dough Blender – If you want to make your pie dough by hand, then you MUST have a dough blender! It easily cuts the cold butter into the flour so you can work smarter, not harder!
Rolling Pin – This is the rolling pin of all rolling pins! Because the rolling pin tapers down at the end, you’ll be able to have better control over your crust and the amount of pressure you’re rolling it out with. It’s also lighter in weight than traditional rolling pins, which means you won’t overwork that delicate pie dough.
Pie Weights – One of the easiest ways to prevent a soggy crust is by blind baking it. Pie weights help to weigh the crust down while it’s blind baking so it doesn’t bubble up and bake unevenly before you add the filling!
Non-Slip Pie Mat – No more guessing if your crust is big enough! This special mat measures everything out for you. Added bonus: It ensures your pie crust won’t stick to the counter when rolling it out!
Pie Crust Shield – All the pie pros around know that the edge of your pie will bake faster than the center, so having a pie crust shield like this one will easily solve that problem! Adding a silicone pie crust shield allows the crust to more evenly bake, can be reused over and over again, and is also adjustable to whatever pie plate you’re using.
Pie Dishes for Every Occasion
A new pie dish is always a welcome gift, but there are so many to choose from! Here are a few of my personal favorites:
Emile Henry Ruffled Pie Dish – The ruffled edge is what this pie dish is all about!
OXO Glass Pie Plate – This is a pretty basic pie dish, but that doesn’t matter because it’s all about the lid! The lid is vented so you can cover a warm pie up and have the steam vent out so the crust doesn’t get soggy.
Mini Pie Dishes – I’m 100% convinced that everything tastes better when its mini and pies are no exception! The pie lover in your life will swoon over these little things!
Silicone Pie Dish – This is a fun find for someone who may already have a ton of pie dishes!
Fun Accessories and Gadgets
If you’re gifting to someone who seems to have all the basic pie making appliances, then surprise them with something truly fun and unique!

Mini Pie Maker – You know I can’t resist a mini appliance, and this mini pie maker is no exception! It’s perfect for making both sweet and savory pies!
Pie Keychain – It’s hard to pass up little gifts like this and the initial along with that cute pie just puts this over the top!
Pie Socks – Now you can have your pie and wear it too! These socks are so fun, you’ll want to buy an extra pair for yourself!
Pie Birds – Take any pie to the next level with these charming little pie birds. You add them to the center of your pie to help release steam which prevents a soggy crust. They also help to keep pie filling from bubbling over and can help prevent cracks from forming in your top crust.
