A living tradition they can make their own
Give the beginning of hundreds of future bakes
An established sourdough culture is not a one-use gift. Once activated and maintained, it can become part of the recipient’s regular baking routine for bread, pizza, pancakes, focaccia and plenty of experiments that somehow use every bowl in the kitchen.
Squirrelly Girl Starter arrives dehydrated, so it is compact, practical to ship and ready to wait until the recipient chooses to begin.

Helpful gift-ordering note
Sending it directly to the recipient?
Enter the recipient’s deliverable address as the shipping address during checkout. Because the starter is dehydrated, they can choose when to begin activation rather than needing to feed a wet starter immediately upon arrival.
Delivery times vary by destination and are not guaranteed for a specific celebration date. Order early when timing matters, especially for international gifts or busy holiday periods.
A gift with activation confidence
Covered by our 100% Activation Guarantee
When the supplied activation instructions are followed and the culture is given the recommended care, it should come back to life. If it fails to activate properly, our guarantee provides a replacement or a full refund.
