Simplify Your Summer with Beeswax Wraps!

Summer is the perfect time to embrace fresh food, outdoor adventures, and a simpler, more sustainable way of living. Reusable beeswax wraps are one of the easiest ways to simplify your summer routine - keeping your food fresh, your packing light, and your cleanup a breeze.

Whether you’re already living a low-waste lifestyle or just getting started, here are some fun, practical, and unexpected ways to use your beeswax wraps this summer (organized by lifestyle) so you can find your perfect fit.

🧺  For the Picnic Lover

Nothing says summer like dining al fresco! Here are some low-waste hacks to upgrade your picnic game:

• Wrap your sandwiches & snacks: Ditch the plastic bags and foil. Beeswax wraps mold perfectly around sandwiches, wraps, crackers, cut fruit (and more!), keeping everything fresh until you're ready to dig in.

• DIY snack pouch: Fold a beeswax wrap into an envelope to stash trail mix, popcorn, or cookies. When you're done, just unfold and wipe clean!

• Cover bowls & jars: Bringing pasta salad or lemonade to share? Use a beeswax wrap to seal your serving bowl or mason jar. No spills, no single-use plastic. Our Amalfi Lemons Set includes 3 different sizes and will spruce up any picnic spread! 

🌱 For the Backyard Gardener

Your beeswax wraps can do more than keep food fresh—they’re great helpers in the garden, too:

• Protect fresh-picked herbs and greens: Wrap your harvest in a medium or large beeswax wrap to keep it crisp in the fridge until you're ready to use it.

• Keep seed packets dry: Fold a beeswax wrap around your seed packets to keep them safe from moisture while you work outside. Itty Bitty wraps are perfect for this!

• Add garden support: Cut or tear beeswax wraps into strips and gently tie stems to support structures like trellises or stakes. They’re soft, flexible, and biodegradable - perfect for delicate plants.

🏕 For the Road Tripper & Camper

Whether you're heading to the lake or pitching a tent in the woods, beeswax wraps are the perfect travel companions:

• Pack cheese, veggies, or wraps: Keep perishables fresh in your cooler without relying on bulky containers or plastic bags. What better wraps to keep your food on theme than our Camping Adventure Set!

• Wrap your bar soap or shampoo bar: Avoid soggy messes in your toiletry kit by wrapping your bar products in beeswax wraps - they're water-resistant and breathable!

• Use as a fire starter: Tear your beeswax wrap into strips and use it to help get your campfire burning. The beeswax coating sustains a flame longer than plain paper, making it an ideal low-waste fire starter.

🥕 For the Farmer’s Market Regular

Beeswax wraps make your fresh finds even fresher:

• Wrap leafy greens, fresh berries, or flowers: These perishables are known for wilting or leaking quickly, but wrapping them in beeswax keeps them fresher longer and reduces plastic waste. They're perfect even for bouquets of flowers!

• Reusable produce bags’ best friend: Pair your mesh or cotton produce bags with wraps to protect delicate items or seal off anything juicy. Check out our Bread Bags Sets which are perfect for this!

• Wrap bread or baked goods from the market: Keep your fresh sourdough, croissants, or pastries from going stale on the way home... plus, it looks beautiful in your tote.

💐 For the Hostess (with the Mostess)

Summer is party season! Here’s how to impress your guests while keeping it green:

• Cover leftovers in style: Send guests home with snacks wrapped in beeswax wraps instead of plastic.

• Cheese board saviour: Keep cheese fresh before the party—or wrap up what’s left without drying it out. Our gorgeous Extra Large wraps are 14x18" and perfect for large trays or dishes!

• DIY drink covers: Use small wraps over glasses or jars to keep bugs out. Their naturally adhesive texture means no extra ties are needed! They’ll add a pop of colour to your table while keeping things functional.

🌲 For the Cottage or Cabin Goer

Time at the lake or in the woods calls for simplicity, ease, and sustainability. Here’s how beeswax wraps come in handy during your cottage escape:

• Keep fridge staples fresh: From half-cut onions to leftover corn on the cob, beeswax wraps seal in freshness even when you’re off-grid. A Best Sellers Bundle offers a variety of sizes and will have you set up for an entire plastic free summer!

• Wrap cocktail herbs or garnishes: Use beeswax wraps to keep citrus wedges, mint sprigs, or sliced cucumbers fresh and ready for cocktail hour. They're perfect for prepping ahead and storing without plastic.

• Quick cover for open bottles or cans: Keep summer pests out and freshness in with a quick wrap over your drink—no waste, no fuss.

🏊‍♀️   For the Poolside Lounger

Lounging poolside? Beeswax wraps aren’t just for the kitchen - they’re perfect for sunny, splashy days too:

• Wrap up poolside snacks: Keep fruit slices, crackers, or sandwiches fresh and protected from sand or bugs.

• Keep hair ties or bobby pins organized: Small items often get lost in beach bags! Simply wrap them in a small beeswax wrap to keep them together and easy to find.

• Wrap up jewelry before swimming: Keep rings, earrings, or bracelets safe and sand-free while you swim by tucking them into a folded beeswax wrap. Our Medium wraps are the perfect size for this.
