The Twelve Days of Christmas Special 2024
I hope you enjoy my 12 Days of Christmas Special. Starting on the 10th of December 2024. Over on my YouTube Channel Farmers Wife Homestead
Homemade and a Budget-Friendly Christmas
I plan on making some homemade gift baskets this year. I find it harder and harder to buy for people who have pretty much everything they already need. So I thought I might put some homemade happiness together and gift my time and love instead.
Together we have made some handmade soaps, using a kit. You can catch that video here Are Soap Kits WORTH it ? | Making SOAP for the first TIME!
On the final day we will put the baskets together.
Here are all the wonderful videos I will be bringing you. They are in no particular order.

Episode One – Preserves
Here is the first video 12 Days of Christmas | Episode 1 | Preserves for the Baskets
We make some Homemade Raspberry Jam and Lemon Curd
We also talk about other preserves I might add to the baskets.
Episode Two – Candles and Bees Wax Wraps
Here is the second video Candles and Bees Wax Wraps – Episode 2 | 12 Days of Christmas
On today’s episode, we give candle-making a go. I had natural bees wax I had brought several months ago and it was time to make some candles. I had visions of using tea cups and lovely old jars.
We then made a lovely few wax wraps using a kit I got from Pure Nature a New Zealand company. I was so super happy with this product and had loads of fun making several Bees Wax Wraps.
It was such an easy process! They have a brilliant website full of goodies. I look forward to trying out the next kit!
Make sure to come back for Episode 3 tomorrow
