Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh-baked cookies, breads, and candies during the holiday season?

Debra Nielsen

Keepsake Artist Debra Nielsen is one who loves baking spirits bright. She says, “I love baking all year long! And the ultimate tool for baking is a great mixer. I saw that it was the number one requested gift a couple of years ago, so I thought we should offer a Keepsake version.

“I also wanted to give this ornament a little holiday twist that makes you take a second look. So, I brought Santa into the sculpted mixing bowl, and that put a smile on my face as I was designing him. Santa never disappoints.”

The baking tradition and the memories it makes have always been important to Debra. “At Christmas, I enjoy making toffee, as well as my grandmother’s recipes for molasses and sugar cookies. The cookies must be the kinds you cut out and decorate with kids or grandkids. We have so much fun making messes!”

When asked what she thinks Santa’s favorite cookie might be, Debra thinks for a moment and replies, “Well, Santa samples so many cookies at our homes, so maybe he would prefer a non-Christmas-y treat. Who knows, maybe Santa would rather have a slice of apple pie?”

For you or anyone you know who loves baking cookies (or apple pies), this ornament makes a sweet gift. Just add love.

FYI- The first picture below is an actual illustration of the mixer from Debra herself!!
