Björn's Holiday Gift Guide 2024
Kids
There are few kids who will turn down sweets, so why not make it a little healthier and give them something natural? Our honey sticks make a great reward for good behavior, a special treat in a lunchbox, a sweetener for hot cocoa or even a fun, educational guessing game to learn how different flowers can impact the taste of honey! Alternatively, a jar of Pine's Honey Peanut Butter, made with Björn's honey, is perfect for an after school snack. Pair it with a jar of delicious Blueberry Lemon Lavender Jam sweetened with our local honey, courtesy of Know Your Roots, and level up your sandwich makings without sacrificing any natural goodness.
If you're steering clear of sweets, we've recently added some hand-crocheted hair clips from Wuaman that are the perfect accessory for the budding beekeeper or flower child in your life. And if you're visiting one of our retail stores in person, pick up one of our coloring greeting cards and a box of crayons - it will keep the kids busy and you'll end up with an original piece of art you can send to your loved ones.
Pets
If the dependents in your family have four legs instead of two, we've got them covered as well. Our Colorado-made honey-smoked pig ears and luscious liver treats will make you the star of the dog park - and don't forget a thematically-appropriate toy to go along with them!
Teens
Is there any demographic more daunting to buy a gift for? Most teens and pre-teens we know generally just want cold hard cash, but that doesn't mean you can't punch it up by adding something special. For example, our Wuaman collection also now features hand-crocheted keychains - a cute way to celebrate a new driver in the family! If they're not quite there yet, our bee-themed jewelry, like these tiny bee earrings, are an easy way to add some sparkle for anyone who likes to accessorize.
Kids getting into skincare can end up slathering all sorts of questionable ingredients and dubious chemicals on their faces - get their journey started on the right foot with the basics from our natural, hive-based skincare, like our Propolis Face Wash, Royal Jelly Sunscreen, or Charcoal and Propolis Face Mask (perfect for acne-prone skin).
We also love gifting a package of wildflower seed mixes to older kids and young adults. It's a small investment in the future of their world and a way to foster an awareness of our environment; plus, scattering them here and there can feel like a tiny act of rebellion with only positive outcomes.
If all else fails, a box of our Colorado honeycomb makes an entertaining novelty treat for older kids and their friends - it's something many have never tried, and the wax is edible!
Friends and Family
Buying for adults can be tough - most people already have everything they need, or tend to have specific tastes, which is why we think consumables (edible or not) make the perfect gift. It's a great way for someone to try something new without ending up with extra stuff they may not use.
Some of our favorite non-edible consumable gifts include our hive-based skincare, as well as luxurious, hand-crafted soaps made in Colorado by Two Ravens using our local honey! Our one-pound beeswax candle also makes a great gift, especially during the darkest season; it's an all-natural way to share some warmth and light with someone you care about.
For adults with a sweet tooth, we recommend a jar of our Double Propolis Honey or our Medicinal Honey Sampler - both are delicious AND offer a fun and tasty way to boost immunity during cold and flu season (which makes them an especially nice gift for teachers!).
If holiday hosting is your recipient's specialty, no well-provisioned bar cart is complete without a set of our Stranahan's Whiskey Barrel Honey, Boozy Botanist Bitters and a jar of Amarena cherries (both available in our retail shops) - their favorite old fashioned will never be the same. Best of all, if you buy the whole bundle in-store, it's 15% off!
Finally, for the person who loves trying new things, a jar of Grandma Betty's Beets from Know Your Roots may be just the thing! Pickled with a blend of spices and sweetened with Björn's honey, it's a festive take on traditional pickled beets they're sure to love.
