What do they give for Christmas in other countries?

Christmas is celebrated in different ways in all countries, and if you want to congratulate your foreign friends or present something unusual to your friends from Russia, in the spirit of the cultural traditions of other nationalities, you can easily find suitable souvenirs in our store!

What is customary to give in Greenland

In Greenland, sculptures of walruses, polar bears and other representatives of the polar fauna are presented at Christmas, as well as souvenirs with teeth and tusks of these animals, including mammoths that once lived in the northern territories. A walrus penis or a walrus tusk on an onyx stand can be a very interesting gift. This material is very beautiful, so products made from it do not need bleaching and painting, even if the fang has lain in the ground for several hundred years. The fangs decorated using the scrimshaw technique, which is an engraving with tinting, look especially impressive. An ordinary tooth of a marine animal turns into an artistic masterpiece - as well as compositions from a mammoth tusk, bright, elegant and very expressive. Women will appreciate stylish jewelry made of such materials - for example, a bracelet and beads made of mammoth tusk.

The sculpture group "Bear and Walrus" is one of the most original in this collection. It is made of walrus tusk, mammoth tusk, wood, sable fur, and any connoisseur of museum rarities will gladly decorate the interior of a home or office with this souvenir. You don't even have to live in Greenland to do this...

Christmas in Sweden and Denmark

In Sweden, they like to give handmade candles for Christmas, and you can choose beautiful candlesticks and candelabra for candles. The "Christmas" candle holder made of snow-white porcelain with underglaze painting reminds of a cozy home Christmas with the family, and the "Sail" candle holder made of natural amber and bronze looks stylish and very luxurious. Swedes would certainly like a porcelain candle holder in the form of a Christmas tree - it can be used for many thin candles, thanks to which the atmosphere seems especially magical. The fabulousness of the atmosphere is also emphasized by the candle holder made of patinated bronze "Firebird", stunningly elegant and sophisticated.

German Christmas traditions

In Germany, the most popular gift is an advent calendar with 24 cells that are filled with sweets and pleasant souvenirs. From December 1, children and adults open a new cell and take out another Christmas souvenir. In our store you will find interesting ideas for such gifts - for example, a gilded Prestige pen decorated in the technique of Zlatoust engraving, an elegant pocket business card holder made of brass and a birch cap, or a whole business set decorated with natural mother-of-pearl. Small figurines like a bronze spaniel on a serpentine stand or a stylish porcelain heart "Golden Heart" from an Austrian designer are suitable for the advent calendar. Charming angels made of Italian porcelain, collectible and gift coins made of bronze, original key chains in a case or unusual medals with ornaments will be appropriate here.

It is not necessary to fill every cell of the calendar with expensive souvenirs, but if your loved ones find such valuable gifts among the sweets and chocolate, they will be very happy!

The French and books

According to statistics, residents of France spend about 10 million euros on Christmas Eve, trying to please their loved ones and friends with pleasant souvenirs. One of the most popular gifts in France are books, while on big holidays they try to give collectible editions, which are also interior accessories.

A very valuable gift is the book "Masterpieces of Russian Painting" with gold and colored embossing, in a handmade leather binding. Although the book is in Russian, illustrations of paintings by famous artists do not need translation, since the language of art is understandable to everyone. Another masterpiece gift is a book and a panel "Winter Silence", representing folk art. This set, made of wood and ceramics, is decorated with Rostov finish. Enamel painting is a jewelry work that requires the highest skill, so such souvenirs are appreciated all over the world. Another luxurious gift is the gift book "Masterpieces of World Architecture", featuring a two-level cover and a binding made of Italian leather with embossed silver embossing. It is impossible to break away from such books!

Italian chic

Italians love to receive fashionable clothes and exquisite accessories as a gift, because representatives of this nation are not indifferent to beauty, like the French. Any true Italian will be pleased to get spectacular cufflinks made of brass jewelry or chic Charm cufflinks made of white gold, with diamonds, sapphires and mother of pearl. You can purchase an accessory for any budget from us, depending on your financial capabilities.

A watch is always appropriate as a gift. They can be very simple, in a minimalistic design and with a chrome case, and very expensive - with a steel case, decorated with diamonds and mother of pearl.

Another stylish design accessory is a Damascus steel cane with cubic zirconia, the blade of which is decorated with an original ornament in the technique of Zlatoust engraving. Once canes were an important part of men's wardrobe and an attribute of high status, but now this accessory is designed for extravagant and self-confident people, which, undoubtedly, are Italians.

Carnival in Spanish

Spanish Christmas is more like a carnival, as the inhabitants of this country love and know how to have fun. But they prefer practical gifts - for example, beautiful and high-quality dishes that can be inherited by children and grandchildren.

The Christmas setting will look lonely without the porcelain dish "Heart" with a bright New Year's pattern and without the delicious tea set "Winter" decorated with winter landscapes and snowflakes. The Christmas feast will perfectly fit the original plates from the Santa Claus Team series, elegant champagne glasses with charming angels and an exquisite vodka set made of gilded brass decorated with drawings of winter bullfinches.

Anyone will be pleased to receive as a gift a set for spices "Damascus" with Santa Claus and a deer, which is made in the USA from ceramics of the highest class, or a jug "Christmas" for drinks with underglaze painting. With such beautiful dishes, Christmas can actually turn into a colorful carnival!

The British are for luxury

In England, collectibles or antiques are given for Christmas, if, of course, finances allow. Amazing chess made of malachite, dolerite and bronze will turn an ordinary house into a museum - they are so beautiful! The same can be said about an amber painting with a magnificent landscape, as well as works of art on gold leaf or silk. Such souvenirs are also worthy of royalty, because the creation of such paintings is a supreme feat of skill and a manifestation of refined taste.

Collectible weapons are another way to please a person and present them with a truly valuable thing. The saber, made in the technique of Zlatoust engraving and decorated with malachite, will elevate its owner to the top of the social ladder, especially if it hangs in the most prominent place in the house. A luxurious knife made of Damascus steel and a mammoth tusk is a whole sculptural composition that will fit into any interior, because natural materials fill it with warmth and comfort.

It's not so important what kind of gift you give. Give it with love and joy, because the point of congratulations is to make Christmas the most magical holiday of the year. May all dreams come true on this day, and our store will help fulfill everyone's cherished desires!
