Custom Gift Boxes

To help with gift-giving, we have a number of custom gift boxes that are ready for a gift tag prior to shipping. Think of them as horizontal Christmas stockings!

These custom gift boxes have items for gardeners, beekeepers and bakers. We have one for the man in your life as well as teachers. Each custom box includes fun items and local honey with green tea.

If you need us to add a special item, just let me know.

You can make your own by collecting gifts that will fit in a box: a book, something fun and local honey from your local beekeeper.

Give the Gift of Classes

Give the Gift of Classes

Of all of the personalized gift suggestions over the years, this is one that continues to surprise people once they give it: the gift of classes.

It may not seem like the fanciest present to place under the tree but it can be if you place it inside a fancy box with a big bow. You can also give an item associated with the class and attach the gift certificate that says you are getting this class with the specific date so you need this item.

The one caveat is make sure the person getting the class wanted to learn about the particular topic, whether it be photography,, skiing or beekeeping. As the Rolla Bee Club signs up students for the 2019 basic beekeeping classes, we are asking the gift giver if the person has expressed an interest in beekeeping and all have confirmed that has been on their bucket list.

If you are not sure where to find classes, check with your local University extension office, many offer a variety of classes during the year.

Local vocational technical schools also have adult winter classes for the general public, that is where I have found the photography classes.

Recent studies show that learning something new is a confirmed way to keep our brains healthy and growing, which leads to a longer, more fulfilling life. Now that’s a gift everyone should appreciate!

Fun with Pink!

These are the last two hand woven kitchen towels I have from a lovely handmade collection.

Fun with Pink!

One of our customers wanted some custom gift sets so I made several that include honey samples.

This Pink Kitchen Towels Honey Sampler Gift Set came together as if it was meant to be. The two lovely hand-woven kitchen towels are the last ones I have from a collection I purchased several years ago from a local weaver. As I was boxing up the towels I found another box full of handmade flower pins and one was the exact same pink color, how could I not add it to the towel?

Lucky that the handmade flower pin happens to match the pink kitchen towels!

Since the one of a kind gift set includes a sample of honey from my industrious bees, I added my favorite tea infuser so the lucky recipient can get a start enjoying their tea with a dab of the sweet stuff. The choices are raw, strained honey, comb honey or creamed honey. Decisions, decisions!

If you need some custom gift sets, let me know, I will be glad to make some for you, too.

Packed together, the hand towels and pin are ready to serve up some tea and honey!

Whoever gets this unique gift set will definitely be "in the pink!"
