7 Gifts with meaning

Still 4 weeks until Christmas and you still have no idea what you want to give as a present this year? Then our tips are just what you need. Here are our top 7 "gifts with meaning":

1. Chocolate, chocolate

If you just can't give up sweets, you can opt for fair trade chocolate. Fair trade chocolate is available in some supermarkets, but also in world shops and, for example, in the Zotter online shop.

2. Do it yourself

Doing it yourself is very much on trend. So don't be afraid to try your hand with scissors, glue and paper. Because the value of many gifts lies in the time and creativity we invest in them. How about a winter cake recipe with ingredients in a nostalgic preserving jar, for example? Or a romantic dinner for two in a picnic basket? You can also find lots of DIY craft ideas on sites such as gingeredthings.de. How to conjure up something new from old things is also what upcycling-deluxe.com. Here you'll find lots of great products made from repurposed and recycled materials that show that jute is anything but uncool.

3. handmade wooden toys

For us, Christmas includes speculoos, contemplative music and, of course, the story of the first Christmas Eve. The traditional company Ostheimer has been making wooden toys for more than 70 years - by hand. With the lovingly designed figures, Ostheimer wants to stimulate children's imaginative play and let them discover a reflection of our world and create it through play. Children's eyes will light up at the sight of these nativity figures.

4. Together you are less alone

It doesn't always have to be socks and chocolates. If you'd like to give something really personal as a gift, Time instead of stuff right. On the website you will find unique gift ideas away from the mainstream and with happiness guaranteed.

5. Give light

If you want to do something good, our SUNNENGLAS just the thing. Our solar light has already created 65 jobs in Johannesburg for men and women from the Soweto and Alexandra townships. And because the SONNENGLAS is a vessel for your creative ideas, you can decorate it however you like.

Where's the coconut? Here: this bag from rewrap is made from coconut fibers and walnut wood and is completely biodegradable. A sustainable eye-catcher for the office.
