Everyone has someone on their list: mum, a father-in-law, the neighbour or the friend who says «I don't need anything». The gift that hits the mark then is rarely another thing for the shelf. It is something that gets used, ideally every day. Here are ideas for a Christmas gift that will not end up at the back of the cupboard.
Why a gift that gets used every day?
People who have everything often have enough ornaments, candles and things for the shelf. A gift that gets used every day, on the other hand, is remembered every time it comes out. Each time the bread comes out of the bag, it is a small reminder of who gave it.
1. The Bivoks™ bread bag: for anyone who eats bread every day
For many people, a slice of bread is a fixture every morning. A beeswax bread bag keeps bread fresh and moist, in the fridge, in the freezer or on the counter. The fabric is cotton and linen with natural beeswax on the inside, and the bag closes with a clip: one grip, even for hands that are not as strong as they used to be.
It suits parents and grandparents, the home baker, and anyone who buys their bread from the bakery. The bag measures 30.5 × 43 cm and holds large sourdough loaves and wholegrain bread.
2. Beeswax wraps: for anyone who wants to stop using cling film
Beeswax wraps are pieces of cotton with beeswax that you shape around bowls, cheese, fruit and packed lunches with the warmth of your hands. A set has three sizes: 18 × 20, 25 × 28 and 33 × 35 cm. The patterns make the wraps lovely to give, and they can be reused.
It suits anyone who makes a packed lunch every day, the cheese lover, and everyone who has said they want to use less plastic.
3. Both together
If you want to give a little extra, you get the bread bag and a set of beeswax wraps in one pack: the Kitchen pack. That way the recipient gets something for the bread and something for the rest of the kitchen.
How to make the gift personal
- Put a freshly baked loaf in the bread bag. Then the gift is ready to use from day one.
- Wrap a good cheese or a jar of honey in a beeswax wrap.
- Write a small card: «Put the bread in the bag and keep it in the fridge.»
