Welcome to the beginning of our 12 Days of Christmas Series! I’m sure you have heard the song about the 12 days of Christmas and what the true love got their lover. We thought it would be fun to use this festive song to bring you 12 ideas on handmade gifts you could give to your loves ones this holiday season! The focus will be on handmade gifts, because they are way more personal, fun, and useful. Also, we don’t want you to break the bank with getting everyone gifts so lets be more intentional this year!
“On the First Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me…”
Homemade Sourdough Bread
How special is it to receive something that was handmade, crafted, and worked on over a period of time!? I think no one will refuse a loaf of homemade sourdough bread! Especially in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, a practical gift like bread is nourishing and won’t add extra clutter and stress of the holiday season.

Fun Variations on Gifting Sourdough Bread
- in a basket with other handmade items like jams, butter in a thrifted butter dish, or herb-infused oils
- put it in a bag like this one all by itself with a ribbon
- cover with a new pretty dish towel
- or add your sourdough loaf with all of the ingredients to making a loaf in a bowl with a recipe attached
