Whenever we envision the perfect holiday season, it is always embodied by one simple, four-letter word: cozy. While we love all the glitter and excitement of holiday celebrations, the truth is that it is often the slower, more intimate moments that fill us with warmth and bring us back home. Reading a favorite book next to the glow of the fireplace, bundling up in cozy socks and sweaters, enjoying a warm beverage in a special mug, watching movies, playing board games, filling every corner of a room with twinkling lights - these and many more are the moments that we dream of each holiday season. Similar to the Danish concept of hygge, we love anything that warms our souls and creates space for rest. However, if thereâs one activity that accomplishes this goal above all else, then itâs most definitely baking. In a world where most things are ready instantaneously, there is something so natural about slowing down to make something with your hands. Watching the dough slowly rise in the oven as your kitchen becomes laced with sweet spices and aromas, baking is an art form in the purest sense of the word. Yet a lot of times we believe that if we donât have a natural inclination for the culinary realm, then we better just stick to the world of store-bought. This is not true! You donât have to be an expert in the kitchen to enjoy the process of baking something special. No matter how simple or complex your creations are, there is still joy to be found in making something you love. If youâre a beginner or if youâre just looking for some extra inspiration, here at Basquet, we have a heavenly selection of baking mixes and ingredients that will make you feel like an absolute natural. Browse our top picks, roll up your sleeves, and get started - the kitchen awaits! Â
