Björn's Holiday Gift Guide

Every year there are a few people on our gift-giving list that stump us - we love them and want to share the joy of gifting, but it’s hard to know what the ideal present is, especially if they’re the kind of person who tends to get themselves whatever they like!

We may be biased, but we think high-quality consumable gifts are best; it’s something they may not usually buy for themselves, and it saves them from an accumulation of “stuff” this time of year. Our local honeys fall under this category, certainly, but we are also proud to partner with many other small, hand-crafted companies across Colorado, and their products happen to make perfect gifts as well! Read on for some of our favorite picks for everyone on your list.

For the Kids

Kids can be some of the toughest customers, but we’ve found that a box of our Honey Sticks makes a winning gift - they feel like a sneaky sweet treat, and parents love that they’re a healthier alternative to refined sugar, and easy to hand out with no fuss.

Younger kids will adore our hand-crocheted (machine washable!) stuffed toys from Wuaman, and our seed mixes are the perfect gift for the budding naturalist of any age and your local pollinators.

Pine’s Nut Butter makes their gourmet blends in Summit County, Colorado, using Björn’s honey - try a jar of their Honey Pistachio Butter for a fun alternative to peanut butter that will take school lunches to a new level (if there’s any left after winter break).

For a gift that kids and their parents will appreciate, we love Brave’s Berries elderberry syrups. Made with our Clover Blossom Honey, her immune-boosting blend tastes delicious and will help minimize sick days all year long.

For your Friends and Family

Our beeswax taper candles make a beautiful gift for anyone who loves to host. Made of 100% natural beeswax, they burn exceptionally clean and cast a warm, natural light over any holiday gathering.

We’re huge fans of Jojo’s locally made hot sauces - we use her sriracha in our Sweet and Spicy Honey, and we always have a bottle of her different flavors on hand. Pair a jar with our honey for the hot sauce enthusiast in your life (we all know one)!

For the self-care queen or king, you can’t go wrong with our Skincare Sampler. Our five best-selling skincare items cover all the basics and then some, and they’re made with propolis, royal jelly and beeswax, harnessing the best of the hive’s benefits to give you naturally radiant skin.

If all else fails, a jar of honey makes a decadent addition to any gift. Give our Propolis Honey to your favorite health guru, our new Cardamom Whipped Honey to the person who loves to bake, a jar of Stranahan’s Whiskey Barrel Honey to the family mixologist (even better if you pair it with a bottle of Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey!), or our Sage Honeycomb Honey to the person who has it all - it’s two delicious gifts in one jar!

For the Dogs

Don’t think we forgot about our furry family members! Our locally-made Honey-Smoked Pigs Ears are a hit with every dog we’ve met, and contain propolis to protect their health. Pair a bag with our new Bee Rope Toy, and you’ve got yourself a new best friend.

We hope our guide has helped you cross a few more people off your list. Happy gifting, and thank you for supporting Björn's and our partners!
