Beeswax wraps
If you have followed my recent postings you will see there is to be a delivery ( last one this year) of Raw Manuka and raw Macadamia honey on Thursday in Kohimarama. Search back to find prices and info or pm me if you are interested.
But here’s another Christmas gift idea which I’ll be bringing on Thursday. The Beekeeper’s wife is now making these lovely beeswax wraps.
These are an original gift especially good to send overseas (they’re light!) or give to friends or family.
They are made for people who want to reduce waste in the kitchen in an original way. Instead of peeling off gladwrap or other plastic sealers, you can mould these wraps with your hands to seal off and store cheeses, open fruit or veggies, sandwiches, school lunches. These wraps are eco-friendly, reusable and long lasting. I’ll be bringing some to the honey delivery so pm any orders now or come and see what they look like. The prints are attractive Kiwiana prints of 100% cotton. Wash in cold water and reuse for up to a year... when they can be rewarded. Minimise waste!
