Bucket list for the colder time of year

With Xavax

The colder time of years is just around the corner!

Make sure your autumn and winter are anything but boring with Xavax

Let’s not allow the bad weather to get us down, let’s keep our spirits high:

Here are some activities to keep you going and make every day into something a little special.


Lantern crafting

Let there be light!

For outdoor or indoor use: lanterns provide the perfect decoration for the colder times of the year – especially as the evenings begin to get darker.

All you need are some paste, some old jars or tins (an old jam jar, for instance), a tealight and some transparent paper. You can use them to make some beautiful creations either by yourself or with the kids: first, you have to cut the transparent paper into shape, then apply the paste to the jar. Apply the pieces of paper in your desired shape and your lantern is ready to go! If you want, you can also decorate your artwork with waterproof pens or other handicraft materials.

With the Xavax multi-functional lighter and a simple tealight, you can now light up your lantern to finish.

Baked cookies

Some sweet baked treats!

Feast on some delicious cookies after your soup, or maybe even just in the meantime... mmmh! They taste the best when you’ve made them yourself!

6 g baking powder
150 g sugar
1 sachet vanilla sugar
2 eggs
250 g butter
Flour for the work surface

This is how it’s done:

  1. Mix all the listed ingredients well
  2. Knead the dough thoroughly on a floured surface to form a soft mass
  3. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and place it in the fridge for around 15 minutes
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is roughly 5 mm thick
  5. Cut out the cookies in any shapes you want (some shapes that are nice for autumn or winter include pumpkins, leaves, pinecones or stars)
  6. Space them out on the tray and bake at 180° C for 10 to 15 minutes

Our tip: coloured icing, chocolate and writing icing make the perfect decorations for your cookies for autumn and winter. They then won’t just taste delicious, but will look fantastic too!
