These come in Heart and Maple Leaf shapes. These could be given alone or would be lovely tied to a jar or your own pancake mix. I use my heart shaped ones to shape sandwich bread for my daughter. This way she gets a heart shaped sandwich, and I don't have to cut the crusts off the bread. You won't lose much of the bread because the heart molds are almost the size of a piece of bread.

You can never have enough icing spatulas. Even if you just use them to spread the butter on your sliced Italian loaf bread for garlic toast. It's so much easier using one of these to get the spreading job done.

I just love this stainless steel shaker. You can put flour to just have it sift itself on the way out of the container. I like to keep powdered sugar in mine for shaking on dishes like French toast. What even makes it more wonderful is that it has a lid.
