something that would come in handy, but not general enough that she might already have?
Thanks in advance!

Some years ago my sister gave me a beautiful white chiffon throw with silver snowflakes on it. Its trimmed with satin edges. I love it and use it to cover special afternoon tea treats and often for cakes. I treasure it dearly and will do forever.

I always love getting interesting luxury ingredients - depends what she likes making most, but fancy olive oil or balsamic vinegar, upmarket cocoa or chocolate for baking, or interesting types of sugar or flavoured syrups could all be great gifts. If she's into the pretty baking stuff interesting cupcake papers and/or decorations might be a winner. :-)

A mini loaf tin like a muffin tin if you can be sure she hasn't got one,

My daughter (aged 14) bought me a mandolin a couple of years ago - not used daily but very handy for so many things.I love it! I think it was about $30 from Millies in Ponsonby

A gift voucher from The Homestore or Stevens. Then she can choose herself.

Homestore above Stevens who have cheap knock offs that dont go the distance. There are a heap of things Microplane classic zester/grater ( THE best thing invented) A cooking class where you get to eat a three course meal afterwards Linen napkins throws linen tea towel along with a nice tin of tea ( if she drinks it) The food throw is always well received, especially the beautifully embroidred ones.

I'd like things that are slightly luxury items... like a good gem pan, or mini flan tins, some gorgeous muffin cases, a little copper pot for melting butter in...

A voucher for Stevens or a good kitchen store, Whitcoull's sale has some awesome cookbooks at the mo. I like the gift basket idea, would include a really strong oven glove (Farmers had some beauties; (treated myself; ) and also had lovely decorative cake display tins etc.cool timers and scales etc.

no, you like good cookware. Have you seen the silikomart moulds?

I love cooking and baking and love special quality ingredients like cocoa, vanilla essence or paste,,.

Yup, they're good. I bought quite a few moulds from here:
They have silikomats arount $20-$35...way cheaper than others. And generic ones for $15. They don't have much listed online, but they have a physical store in North Shore. Im quite happy as I bought Matfer Bourgeat 400mm Exoglass Whisk for $38 while Southern Hospitality sells them for $67.85. Also picked up a matfer silpat for $40.. 40cm by 30cm. Im gona get the stainless steel baguette knife (with replacement blades) they are selling for $12 if I go back them again.
Then again, not all things are cheap. Their palette knives are way too expensive.

I have a lovely one which I got from a craft market. Have seen some nice ones occassionally at Streets Ahead in Palmy.

Why not consider a fabulous recipe book? Check out on-line book sellers. I always use The Book Depository.
