Homemade gifts that delight
Christmas is all about thoughtfulness – and what shows more love than gifts you’ve made yourself? Homemade Christmas gifts are both sustainable, personal, and full of charm. Here are some simple and cozy ideas for gifts you can make using our products.
Taste of Christmas – in a jar
Fill small jars with homemade jam, cookies, roasted almonds, or crunchy granola. Decorate with a personalized label and attach a small sprig of fir or a natural-material ribbon – making the gift both beautiful and delicious.
Roasted almonds – here's how:
- 200 g almonds
- 200 g sugar
- 1 dl water
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Bring the water, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil. Add the almonds and stir regularly while the water evaporates. When the sugar crystallizes, continue stirring until it melts and forms a shiny coating around the almonds. Pour onto baking paper and let cool.
Place in a beautiful jar with a label and ribbon – perfect as a small, tasty Christmas gift!
Something green under the tree
Give the gift of growing life! A small cutting is a personal and sustainable gift that brings joy for a long time. Take a cutting from one of your plants – for example, monstera, pilea, or a trailing green plant – and place it in water until it develops roots. Then plant it in a small pot or jar, and decorate with moss, twine, and a simple label.
It’s a gift that symbolizes growth and thoughtfulness – and one that the recipient can watch continue to grow long after Christmas is over.

Simple, fragrant sachets that spread Christmas cheer in drawers and cupboards – or under the tree.

How to do it:
Fill the bags with dried herbs or flowers, tie them closed with ribbon, and attach a small label. A small, fragrant gift that brings joy for a long time – and looks beautiful alongside other homemade Christmas decorations.
Self-decorated pillar candles
