Bee-inspired gifts for people who love local

For everyone from the bath lover to the craft-beverage connoisseur, Planet Bee is brimming with an inspiring collection of locally made gifts.

There’s a new line of bath and body products with plenty of indulgent options for those on your list who deserve some relaxation and self-care. Here is just a glimpse of the selection from Let It Bee:

• Bubble Bath in Citrus & Mint or Lavender & Mint
• Shower Steamers for a calming, gentle aromatherapy experience
• Body lotion with mango butter, jojoba and vitamin E
• Body scrubs crafted with natural ingredients including cane sugar, coconut and avocado oils, and beeswax

There are also tub truffles, bath bombs, body butter, natural-honey bar soaps, shampoo and conditioner bars (handy for hikers and campers!), lip balms, and more.

Planet Bee also has some new varieties of honey, including Chai featuring the cozy flavours of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice, and Chocolate for those who are always on the lookout for a new way to enjoy chocolate!

The full line of local honeys also includes favourites like Bella Vista Blossom, Fireweed, and Okanagan Wildflower. There are also honey gift packs and bundles, honeycomb, and honey sticks.

Any of these honeys are a sweet addition to a gift basket or stockings. And their price points make them a perfect fit for that office gift exchange.

These special honeys are great to have on hand to pull out when serving brunch to holiday houseguests. Liven up some brie with a flavoured honey, or drizzle over nuts and bake for an impressive addition to your charcuterie board.

Toast the season with a ready-to-sip spin on honey. Planet Bee’s Honeymoon Mead offers seasonal varieties like Winter Spice and Apple Indulgence, which is especially tasty warmed up! Other favourites include Raspberry Romance, Okanagan Delight, Oak & Honey Rapture, and Blackberry Twist.

To sweeten the deal, all these popular gifts also help save the bees. Olivia Hoffart from Planet Bee explained how sustainability is part of the focus, “Sustainability is a natural fit at Planet Bee, as our bees rely on a healthy ecosystem to flourish, and without our bees – we wouldn’t bee in business.”
