A huge 63 per cent of people agree that being given a homemade dessert or baked goods as a gift shows a lot of thought and effort, yet only 26 per cent of people have ever given a homemade dessert themselves.
While a personal touch is seen to be the most important reason to give home baked gifts amongst both women (85 per cent) and men (60 per cent), the second motivator for men to do this is to save money (men 47 per cent vs. women 40 per cent), while women do it to show off their baking skills (women 23 per cent vs. men 10 per cent).

Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
