Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who is interested in preserving food, there are a variety of thoughtful and meaningful gifts out there that will support and encourage her hobby:

1. Canning Starter Kit – Surprise your granddaughter with a set of quality canning jars, a canning funnel, a jar lifter, and other essential canning tools to help her get started on her next preserving project.

2. Recipe Book – Canning and preserving are all about tradition, and a cookbook with favorite family recipes or classic recipes would make a great gift. It could give her exciting inspiration and ideas to experiment with new recipes and try new methods.

3. Pressure Canner – A pressure canner is a very useful tool and is ideal for high-acid foods that require an extended shelf life. A canner will make her life easier, and allow her to try more cooked and preserved recipes.

4. Pickling Gear – Many of the tools useful for canning and pickling are similar, but gifts such as a fermentation crock, fermentation weights, or fermentation airlocks, can also help support her hobby of preserving.

5. Cooking class – Many communities offer canning and preserving courses, and registering her for a class would be a great way to show your granddaughter support and actively encourage her passion.

6. Personalized labels and tags – Create custom-made labels for your granddaughter’s jars that feature her name, recipe and date. Personalized tags will give the jars a touch of uniqueness and would be a fun way to show off her skill.

With her interest in preserving food, she will love thoughtful gifts that can help her enhance her hobby. The right gift can be the perfect motivation for her next culinary project, or a way to showcase her work to others.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.

“My boyfriend is very much into constellations and astronomy. Recently we were watching a beautiful meteor shower and I knew then exactly what I was getting him for Christmas. It is absolutely beautiful. It’s very sentimental yet fascinating. Awesome gift!!!”
