Giving jam as a gift – gift ideas

Jam is a gift that suits almost everyone: a single jar of FRUCHTSTOFF makes a lovely little present, and the FRUCHTSTOFF 7-Piece Gift Box for €34.99 offers seven fruit spreads to give away. Add honey, bread or baking ingredients and it becomes a breakfast gift.

Why jam makes a good gift

Jam and preserves are practical everyday items that store well and are gladly used. Unlike flowers, a jar simply waits in the pantry until the right moment for breakfast arrives. The best-before date is printed on the jar, so the gift can be kept without worry.

Gift idea 1: A single jar as a small present

For an invitation to brunch, coffee or dinner, a single jar is all you need. If you know your host's preferences, choose accordingly: Strawberry and Raspberry for lovers of the classics, Wild Blueberry or Blackcurrant for fans of bold flavours, Mango and passion fruit for anyone who likes things exotic. A jar of FRUCHTSTOFF containing 200 grams costs €3.99.

Gift idea 2: The FRUCHTSTOFF 7-jar gift box

The 7-jar gift box contains seven fruit spreads and costs €34.99. It's perfect for birthdays, Christmas, as a thank-you for colleagues, or as a housewarming gift. Giving it means giving a little flavour journey too.

Gift idea 3: Combining jam and honey

As FRUCHTSTOFF contains 10% honey, a jar of honey from the SUMMSTOFF range makes a lovely match: honey for breakfast toast, jam for rolls and yoghurt. You'll find a selection in the Honey guide and on the page Gifts.

Gift idea 4: Breakfast basket or baking set

A small basket with a jar of jam, a fresh plaited brioche or bread rolls, butter and a jar of honey makes a lovely breakfast gift. Baking enthusiasts will love a set with flour, almonds, sugar and a recipe, for example Jam Biscuits with Raspberry Jam, together with a jar of raspberry for filling.

Wrapping and labelling

A ribbon, a piece of fabric as a lid cover, or a handwritten label with the flavour's name turns the jar into a gift. With the gift box, the packaging already takes care of that. If you'd like a personal touch, add a card with a recipe suggestion from Recipes with jam .

Gifts with a recipe

A recipe makes a gift personal. A jar of apricot pairs well with the recipe for Yeast Plait with Apricot Filling, and a jar of plum with the recipe for cinnamon rolls. The recipe card can be handwritten or printed and included, along with a ribbon and a jar: a gift that invites you to give it a try.

A voucher for a breakfast together, paired with a jar of jam, is also a lovely idea. This turns a small gift into a shared experience.

Occasions for a jam gift

Birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas, Easter, moving into a new home, or a thank-you to neighbours: a jar of jam suits many occasions. At Christmas, flavours like plum, morello cherry and forest fruit are popular, while in spring it's strawberry and apricot. A jar also works well as a small thank-you for colleagues or as an addition to a bunch of flowers.

If you'd like to give gifts to several people, put together jars in different flavours and share them out. That way, everyone gets their own favourite jar.

Timing and delivery

FRUCHTSTOFF is available in the SUMMSTOFF shop and in shops at EDEKA and REWE. If you're planning a gift for a specific date, order in good time: according to the shop, delivery takes four to five working days. You'll find all the flavours in the fruit spread category.
