18. Soggy Bottom Ornament
Price: $10.12+
Here’s a hand-drawn ornament that will make your loved one’s future Christmases super special. Or gift it to them a little early so they can decorate their tree with GBBS this year. This particular listing is for a “no one likes a soggy bottom” ornament, but the seller has many more if you go to their page. You can also get a “star baker” or “on your marks, get set, bake” ornament. Or go big and customize your own ornament so it can say exactly what you want. The seller offers three sizes: 2-2.5 inches, 2.5-3 inches and 3-4 inches. These sizes are ranges because these ornaments are wood slices and therefore not perfectly precise. That homemade imperfection just adds charm, however, and should appeal to the people in your life who are fans of a show about creative, hand-made items. Customization and larger sizes will cost a little extra.

19. GBBS Bingo Sheet

This is a cheap and fun gift for multiple fans. This is actually a digital PDF that you can print out on your own. If you’re also a fan of the show, this might be the perfect gift. You and your loved one can print out your bingo sheets, which are inspired by common occurrences in the show, and then play a round of bingo while binge-watching. The PDF pack includes 10 cards, so you can play several times or throw a whole GBBS party for just $5. It’s a great way to get people together in a low-stress fashion during a hectic season. Some of the squares include fan favorites like “technical challenge,” “baker earns star baker,” “baker drops their bake or it falls over,” and “baker or judge says bread or loaf.” It might not take long to score a bingo on this board, so make sure you’re paying close attention. On your mark, get set, bingo!

You can choose between charcoal-black, navy, solid dark gray, purple, berry, true royal, blue and aqua for colors. The shirts tend to run a little small, so be careful when selecting a size for your loved one.

23. GBBS Commemorative Decorative Plate
Price: $63
We saved this last one for the really hardcore fans. This plate has two faces on it – two of the hosts or judges of the show. There’s a lot of different varieties. You can have Paul and Mary, Paul and Prue, Mel and Sue for a true classic, Sandi and Noel, or Noel and Matt. Each plate is about 7.5 to 8.5 inches around. There are even four different styles to choose, from two that are plainer to two that have a floral design all around the rims. They evoke a vintage look and feel that is classic British sensibility. Note that these plates are purely decorative and not intended for food. In fact, water can ruin the design on the plate. Instead, use the hanger on the back to display them on a wall, perhaps even in the kitchen.
