I'm usually on the lookout for new gingerbread cookie cutters around the holidays and have yet to find a set that I like, largely because the gingerbread people turn out too large. I have one cookie cutter that is probably 10 inches long and is accompanied by a matching snowman cutter. Who wants a gingerbread cookie that big - not to mention the fact that it is a pain to bake enormous cookies because of the increased risk of over/underbaking. This year I came across this set of Gingerbread Family Cookie Cutters, which includes six reasonably-sized cutters (gingerbread man, woman , boy, girl, dog and house), all packed in a small house-shaped tin. In addition to not being inconveniently oversized, the cutters provide more options than a singleton gingerbread man cookie cutter would. It's $13 for the whole set.
Besides - baking your own will be far more fun and a lot less expensive than buying the pre-made cookies individually. If you're really not into baking, however, it might be a good idea to opt for some gingerbread cookie ornaments, which will last much longer.
