Looking for holiday gift ideas? You are in the right place if you want to give your loved ones a really special gift that says you care for them and their well being. But what to choose for whom? Here are some ideas which products may best suit your friends and family members.

New to fermenting?

If you want to find something for a person who never even heard of fermentation, it’s best to start with basics. Milk kefir is usually the first step people take into fermentation. It’s also easy to make even if you are new to fermentation. So, to introduce someone to fermentation, you can pick a milk kefir starter kit. It includes a kefir fermenter jar and a culture necessary to produce kefir. All he or she will need to do is add milk.

One package of dried kefir grains includes enough kefir grains to prepare 600 ml of kefir. Later on the grains will grow and you will have extra to share with others.

On the other hand, if your friend is vegan or does not like the taste of milk, water kefir and kombucha kits are a better choice.

Buying in advance?

You know it’s best to start going through your gift lists in November. That way you can make sure to get just the right thing for each person on that list. This means you may have a stack of gifts waiting for Christmas or New Years when you will be ready to give them away. With this in mind, you have to choose gifts that don’t have short expiry date. Our dehydrated grains and kombucha starters are suited for long time storage. And the person that receives the gift will also not be in a hurry to start fermenting.
