For whoever ends up doing all the cooking. Legami's Super Chef apron is cut and printed as a gingerbread man — piped white icing at the cuffs and hem, two round buttons, and the expression of someone who knows there are four more trays to go.
It's a full bib apron at 84cm long and 65.5cm wide, with an adjustable neck strap so it fits whoever's wearing it, and a deep front pocket for a phone, a thermometer or the recipe you keep having to re-read. The fabric is a polyester, cotton and viscose mix: it has a bit of weight to it rather than the thin, papery feel of a novelty apron, which is the difference between something worn once for a photo and something that actually lives on the kitchen door.
It earns its keep well beyond December — the gingerbread man is more cheerful than explicitly festive — but it comes into its own on Christmas Eve, during the baking marathon, and in every photograph taken that day.
This is a strong gift for a keen baker, and one of those presents that gets used rather than shelved. Come and feel the fabric at our Canterbury shop, 22 Burgate, or order online for UK delivery.

FAQ
What size is it, and will it fit most people?
It's one size, 84cm long by 65.5cm wide, with an adjustable strap at the neck. That covers most adults comfortably. The waist ties are long enough to bring round and fasten at the front if you prefer.
Is there a pocket?
Yes, one deep pocket across the front — useful for a phone, a timer or a folded recipe.
Is it only for Christmas?
Not really. The gingerbread man reads as cheerful rather than strictly festive, so most people keep it out all year.
Does it make a good gift?
An excellent one for anyone who bakes. It's the sort of present that gets worn the same week it's opened.
