20 Healthy Edible Holiday Gift Ideas

20 Healthy Edible Holiday Gift Ideas (gluten free and paleo) www.savorylotus.com

This is for all you DIYers out there.  Because making homemade gifts for the holidays always feels so good. 

It’s the last week of November, and I have holiday gifts on my mind.  I’ve always been one to show my love with food, so obviously homemade edible gifts are my thing.  As much as I love the holidays (and getting fun presents), there’s always something about the commercial aspect of it all that makes me cringe a little bit.  Anyone else with me on this?

It always makes me feel better to give homemade gifts. The little homesteader in me gets excited.  I know that I appreciate when someone takes the time to actually MAKE something for me.

Wondering what you could make for your friends and family?  Need some homemade holiday gift ideas?  No worries, I got you covered.  Today I’m sharing 20 edible holiday recipes that I have used myself personally for gifts at one time or another.  All healthy and made with real food ingredients. All gluten free and paleo.  All yummy and delicious.  Things you can feel good about sharing with your friends and family.

Imagine getting a sweet little jar of homemade healthy nutella.  Or a jar of golden milk turmeric paste to make the most delicious and cozy golden milk. Or a box of healthy dark chocolate trail mix bites.  Big smiles all around.  GUARANTEED!!  Plus you don’t have to break the bank to show the people in your life that you are thinking about them.

Let’s talk packaging for a moment.  Presentation is a big part of holiday gifting.  Here’s a list of sustainable packaging ideas for your healthy edible holiday gifts:

  • CUTE SMALL JARS for jams, nuts, nutella, coconut chips, and golden milk paste.  You could also use THESE.  If you want bigger ones, you could use THESE.   I happen to be one of those people that has an endless supply of saved jars in my kitchen cabinets.  I’ve also had good luck finding cute jars at thrift stores.
  • GIFT BOXES made from recycled materials make good cookie boxes.  Plus they are fun to decorate. ECO-FRIENDLY PAPER BAGS also work for cookies and other gifts. THESE recycled bags come with a cute label and ribbon.
  • REUSABLE COOKIE TINS come in many shapes and sizes.  And they can be reused again and again.  I’ve had good luck finding them at thrift stores.  I collect them throughout the year for holiday cookie season.
  • CLOTH or FABRIC works great for gift wrapping jars and other solid objects.  Use what you already have around the house.  Gently used scarves, old clothes that you no longer wear, scraps of fabric.  Get creative.

 

Peace and love to you and yours this holiday season!

xo,

Katja

 

NOTE:

Some of these edible gifts require refrigeration, so keep that in mind when sharing with friends and family.

i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the b i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the beginning of my healing journey 

healing, digestion, and rest are all parasympathetic processes • if the body is in a chronic stress state, these things do not happen 

chronic stress produces stress hormones that created physiological changes in the body (increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels) • these changes take the focus away from digestion and repair 

reducing and eliminating the triggers that create constant stress on the body is crucial to being able to heal • because the body does not let go or heal when it doesn’t feel safe 

how to create safety in the body? —-> addressing life stress, woundings/traumas, underlying infections, toxicities (heavy metals, plastics, etc), nutritional deficiencies, environmental hazards like mold, and anything else that is constantly triggering the body to feel unsafe
💗 start with the basics • your well-being is 💗 start with the basics • your well-being is only as strong as the foundation you build it on 

💗 your mental and physical health is determined by the bed rock you have to lean on when “stress” happens 

💗 building resilience in the body and mind is how you navigate difficult situations 

💗 if you are not where you want to be in life, in health, in mindset... consider going back to the basics 

💗 the basics:

- the food you eat 
- the water you drink 
- your quality of sleep
- your daily movement
- your daily mindset
- your level of stress
- the quality of your breath 
- your drainage pathways 
- the people you surround yourself with 

💗 absolutely no judgement here • we are all in different seasons of life • just a loving reminder that a strong foundation is necessary to build upon
