Absolutely! Our bamboo plates are designed for heavy, saucy holiday foods. Customers have cut ham directly on the plates with no issues. They won’t fold, leak, or soak through like paper plates. Made from compressed bamboo and sugarcane pulp, they’re surprisingly sturdy.
Order by December 15 for guaranteed Christmas delivery. We’re a small, woman-owned business shipping from our own warehouse, so we need a bit more lead time than the big retailers. The earlier you order, the more stress-free your holidays will be!
Definitely! These aren’t “Christmas themed” plates – they’re elegant bamboo plates that work for ANY winter holiday. Use them for Christmas dinner, then New Year’s Eve party, then your January birthday party. White and natural bamboo work year-round. Purple is especially popular for New Year’s Eve!
Night and day difference. Paper plates from the store fold under weight, soak through with gravy, and look cheap in holiday photos. Our bamboo plates are 3-4x thicker and sturdier, water-resistant, and actually look elegant. Plus they compost instead of sitting in a landfill. Worth the upgrade!
Really, truly compostable! Our plates are certified BPI compostable and meet ASTM D6400 standards. They break down in 60-90 days in commercial compost facilities, or 6-12 months in home compost bins. Even the plant-based dyes and packaging are compostable. Not greenwashing – this is the real deal.
Yes! The plates are microwave-safe for reheating (up to 2-3 minutes). Perfect for warming up leftover ham, turkey, or Christmas morning quiche. Just don’t use them for extended cooking.
We’re a small, woman-owned business. We can’t overnight ship at the last minute like Amazon. Order this week to guarantee your plates arrive in time for Christmas dinner.
Timeline:
Now – Dec 10: Order with confidence – plenty of time
Dec 11-15: Last week – cutting it close!
After Dec 15: Too late for Christmas (great for New Year’s!)
Hi, I’m Laide – founder of Pickytarian.
I started this business because I was tired of the “pretty or practical” trade-off when hosting holiday dinners. I wanted plates that looked elegant in photos, held up to real food, and didn’t create guilt about plastic waste…So I created them.
We’re a small, Black woman-owned business competing against giants like Hefty and Glad.
When you choose Pickytarian, you’re supporting:
A woman-owned small business
Sustainable materials (bamboo, not plastic)
Fighting hunger (5% of sales donated)
Thank you for being here. Happy holidays from my family to yours.
