DFB readers know that around this time of year, we like to share a few fun gift ideas for the Disney food fans in your life. And if that means YOU, well we think picking up a little something for yourself is just fine. 😉
Last week we shared a few of our favorite ways to celebrate with a Disney Dinner Party! Today, with visions of sugar plums starting to dance in my head, I’m pretty sure it’s time to make COOKIES! What, you too? Great! We can swap recipes!
In the meantime, I can’t think of a better way to get into the spirit of baking and cookie making than by stocking up on all kinds of fun Disney kitchenware that’s made just for the occasion!
Whether you’re holiday shopping for all of those bakers on your list, or stocking up on a few pre-Christmas holiday “surprises” for yourself, check out the cool things I’ve found in the Disney Store online for your bake-apalooza 2012! C’mon — grab a whisk and let’s go!
Polka Dot Minnie Mouse Apron
First, keep your favorite Christmas clothes flour-free with this snazzy Polka Dot Minnie Mouse Apron. At least three people on my Christmas list are getting one this year!
Mickey Mouse Mixing Bowl Set
Next, it’s time to think about your kitchen tools! I cannot get enough of the cool vintage vibe of this Mickey Mouse Mixing Bowl Set. Crafted in durable plastic, the bowls look just like something I’d find in Grandma’s cabinet – or 50’s Prime Time Cafe!
Gourmet Mickey Mouse Measuring Cup Set
Bakers worth their salt know that the key to baking success is precise measuring of ingredients. Do it stylishly with this Gourmet Mickey Mouse Measuring Cup Set.
The ceramic set is special enough to display, I’m thinking. (And they’ll surely stand in when you’re short a teacup or two. DUAL FEATURE!!)
Best of Mickey Mouse Measuring Cup
Precision matters when it comes to liquid ingredients, too! Use this quirky Best of Mickey Mouse Measuring Cup — with Ear Lid! — to ensure perfect results everytime.
Bamboo Mickey Mouse Utensil Set
Bamboo is the perfect renewable resource to fit just about any decor. Mix up a batch of your favorite cookies for Santa with this handy-dandy Bamboo Mickey Mouse Utensil Set.
Best of Mickey Mouse Spatula
Mickey gives your cookies a big thumbs up every time with a cute and classic Best of Mickey Mouse Spatula. I saw this first at the Beach Club Marketplace this Fall and loved it!
Bamboo Mickey Mouse Rolling Pin
Go gourmet in a big way for that special baker on your list. This beautiful Bamboo Mickey Mouse Rolling Pin features the tapered design that pasty chefs prefer, with a whimsical and subtle flourish featuring our favorite Mouse.
Mickey Mouse Cookie Cutter
Amid the gingerbread and Christmas tree cookies, be sure to leave a little dough for Mickey! And this jumbo 5-inch Mickey Mouse Cookie Cutter will make beautiful cookies for your favorite guests (or the Big Man himself!). Don’t forget to grab some icing to decorate…
Best of Mickey Mouse Kitchen Timer
Burnt cookies are a total bah humbug, but you’re not going to sit in the kitchen and watch the oven, right? Never become distracted by the rest of your to-do list again when you use this savvy little Best of Mickey Mouse Kitchen Timer to time your cookies! Perfectly golden results can be yours every single time! Its magnetic bottom means that it will always be handy when you need it.
Gourmet Mickey Mouse Potholder and Oven Mitt Set
If you favor a simpler pattern over the bold red and black Mickey motif, you’ll love this Gourmet Mickey Mouse Potholder and Oven Mitt Set. The set is the perfect combo of style and function, and will keep you smiling recipe after recipe.
Best of Mickey Mouse Oven Glove
But sometimes you just want classic design to remind you of your Laughing Place when you’re at home! You know when you leave the parks, and the cast members are all wavin’ with their Mickey gloves? You can do that while you’re baking snickerdoodles this season with the Best of Mickey Mouse Oven Glove. AND — you can personalize it! Woohoo! Fun!
Bamboo Mickey Mouse Platter
When it comes time to serve up your gourmet goodies, grab this beautiful and chic Bamboo Mickey Mouse Platter. It’s the perfect way to display all of your handiwork. 😉
Mickey and Minnie Mouse Holiday Cookie Jar
Any leftovers? Hahaha! We don’t know what those are either! But if you want to be prepared just in case, this awesome Mickey and Minnie Mouse Holiday Cookie Jar should be standing by. 🙂 And can you even imagine what a cool gift this would be to receive?! (Full of mickey mouse gingerbread cookies, maybe…)
Just shopping for all of these cool cookie finds makes me want to invite a few friends over for a cookie baking party this weekend! Who’s in??

Sarah says
Oh I love all this stuff! Now if I could just have one of each thing all would be perfect. ;D
Victoria says
I just ordered that cookie jar. It’s just too cute!! 🙂
John Grigas says
Terrific. I’m super in the mood for this.
On tap for this weekend . . . I hoarded 5 of those 1oz bags of Craisins from the Food & Wine cranberry bog booth a few weeks ago, along with the Craisin Chocolate Chunk Cookie recipe card. Sounds kinda Thanksgivingey, don’t you think?
AJ says
Sarah — I KNOW!!!
Victoria — Isn’t it adorable? I love the retro Mickey and Minnie feel.
John G — That sounds awesome…and totally Thanksgivingey! Send me some? 😉
Amanda says
All those cute things make me want to get in the kitchen and start baking! 🙂
AJ says
Amanda — Me, too!! And I still owe you an email, my friend!!
Victoria says
Exactly AJ! I just couldn’t pass it up…even though we’re going to WDW soon. But I didn’t want to have to deal with the hassle of bringing back a big box…it’d take up too much space in my carry-on! I have to fill it with Christmas presents and yummy goodies for myself. 😉
Matt says
My wife bought the Minnie Apron while we were down there a couple weeks ago.
And I bought the large Mickey apron to match her.
We also have the bamboo platters and the Best of Mickey Mouse oven glove. It’s great except my wife won’t let me use it cause it’ll get dirty.
Rachel M says
Victoria –
You could always ship things back. On our last trip we did that and I was suprised at how little it actually cost and how fast it arrived.
Essie says
I love the Minnie apron! Are these for sale in the parks at all, AJ? I’m going in a week and carrying that home would be so light and easy. As for heavier things, thanks for the ‘shipping home’ reminder. Now I have to decide if the apron will be for me or my Mom; hmmm….maybe a Mother/Daughter gift? We both love home baking.
Victoria says
@Rachel M – I wasn’t sure if that was an option. We’ve gone a few times, but never asked or thought about shipping things home. I need to keep that in mind! 😉 Thanks for the info!
AJ says
Essie — They are sometimes in the parks, yes!
Jacqueline Pistolese says
I would like to purchase the 5 inch Mickey Mouse Cookie cutter. Where do I purchase this item. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance. JP
