How the gift works
The recipient does not need an active starter waiting in the fridge on delivery day. The dehydrated culture remains dormant until they are ready to begin the activation process.
Clear instructions guide them through adding flour and water, feeding the culture and watching for dependable bubbling and growth.

Sourdough starter gift FAQs
Can I ship the starter directly to the recipient?
Yes. Enter the recipient’s complete Republic of Ireland address as the shipping address at checkout. Carefully check the name, house or building information, locality, county and Eircode before submitting the order.
Is gift wrapping included?
This offer is for the dehydrated starter product and its activation instructions. Gift presentation or personalised gift messaging is not promised unless that option is specifically displayed during checkout.
Is the gift suitable for a beginner?
Yes. The included activation instructions are designed to guide a beginner through waking the dried culture. Regular maintenance requires flour, water, a container and a simple feeding routine.
Does free shipping cover all of Ireland?
Free standard shipping applies to eligible addresses in the Republic of Ireland. It does not refer to Northern Ireland. Address eligibility is confirmed at checkout.
Will the starter spoil if the recipient does not open it immediately?
The starter is dehydrated for storage and travel, so it does not require immediate daily feeding while dry. Store it sealed in a cool, dry place and follow the package guidance.
What happens if the gift does not activate?
If the recipient properly follows the instructions and the starter still fails, they can contact us. The 100% Activation Guarantee provides a replacement or full refund subject to its terms.
Where is Squirrelly Girl Starter made?
