If you have a JoAnn fabric store near you, check it out. I don't know
if they have matched sets in the sizes you want, but I did see some
bread pans there. Bed Bath and Beyond also carry several brands of
baking pans.

Don't lock yourself into a matching set. Get the best you can find in
each size.

I am sure the purists will scoff but I have 2 9 x 5 Pyrex pans I use
for baking bread. They have rounded corners and clean easily.

BTW what does your daughter use now and has she said that she wants
something different? Your best bet may be to give her the money and
let her get exactly what she wants. Sometimes cooks have very
definite ideas about what they need or want.
