Gifts are always a thorny issue when trying to live more sustainably and consciously. It's even more tricky when you have to pick out a present for a birthday boy with no gift ideas or someone you don't know very well, like a colleague. It doesn't really matter who you have in front of you or what the situation is, because we have a great tip. Pineut is a great sustainable gift idea that everyone will be able to appreciate! Do you already know it?
DIY gifts from Pineut
In partnership with Pineut
When I was asked to review a homemade gift from Pineut, I briefly thought, ‘shall I pass this review on to my culinary editor?’ Cooking is not necessarily my hobby, nor am I very good at it. After all, it would be a real shame if the gift, and thus this review, were to be ruined by my clumsiness. But I do love good food and Pineut assured me that their homemade gifts are so easy, they cannot fail. ‘Even a child can do it.’ And that turned out to be true. I was all smiles when I entered no-time conjured up a delicious job bread made of old bananas with Pineut's help. My family was also pleasantly surprised: it had turned out super well. I had outdone myself. See for yourself!
Not sure what to give someone? A homemade gift from Pineut is hearty fun. They have both fun sweet and savoury (drinks) recipes.
DIY gifts?
Yes, homemade gifts. That is the idea of Pineut, a sustainable company founded by two Dutch women. They say they make ‘the tastiest homemade gifts for more happy moments at the table’. And more happiness in the kitchen is my experience thus, because I was quite proud of my well-successful banana bread. All the goodies come to you festively packaged in a glass bottle. And with a clear step-by-step plan, you can't go wrong. They have really cool recipes which means you can find a nice gift for everyone. How about making a homemade gift cocktails, soup, chocolates, liqueur or bubble bread and much more.
Pineut, a sustainable gift tip
All of Pineut's delicacies are produced in the Netherlands using as many local spices as possible. For this, they get help from real canjers, people with a distance to the labour market who make these tasty and cosy creations. In this way, the company also contributes to more equal opportunities in the Netherlands.
