5 original and different Christmas gifts for very special people
With Christmas just around the corner, one of the biggest headaches for adults is what presents to give. As the years go by, it seems to become more and more difficult to surprise that special someone with something you're sure they'll like, doesn’t it? Well, keeping in mind that presents should score well on the three As (attractive, appropriate and affordable), we’ve prepared a selection of items that, apart from ticking these boxes, can also be described as: ‘original’, ‘surprising’ and ‘high quality’. Would you like to know what we mean? Stop worrying about what gifts to give this Christmas and take inspiration from these 5 ideas.
The metallic trend
If you’re looking for a gift for someone who loves fashion, surprise him or her with something that follows the latest decoration trends.
This season, there's no question: the metallic look steals the show. Items with this type of finish are having a huge impact, both in small details and in larger, more eye-catching pieces.
So don’t hesitate. Choose a gift that will easily fit in with the recipient’s home, such as a candle holder for the living room, a frame to hold all the photos, or a glass dome with a gold base to showcase a special object.

Small objects for great projects
Christmas gifts are like good perfume: size does not determine quality. In fact, it’s not a bad idea to opt for a small, useful gift, such as those we suggest below.
Once the Christmas celebrations are over, the return to work and our usual routine are a harsh reality that has to be faced. And what could be better than getting the New Year off to a good start? Make sure that special person has everything ready to get organised and develop their creative side with a mini stationery set like the LANKMOJ. Clips, post-its, markers... All you need to make sure your good ideas don’t run away.

A gourmet-style coffee break
For those who love their mid-afternoon coffee or infusion, nothing can beat a gift to enhance their hot drink ritual.
A nice tray, a strainer for infusions, or even a special spoon for serving honey can turn their afternoon break into a very special experience. You can complement this with a selection of EGENTID fruit teas which, in addition to being delicious and aromatic, are sustainably manufactured (natural UTZ-certified range).

For the person who loves to play the host
The person who is always happy to invite friends and family to their home and enjoys it deserves a gift themselves. What about a practical, decorative accessory that they can bring out on these occasions?
The BRÖLLOP serving stand is ideal for keeping any food, such as fresh cakes or a good cheese, in perfect condition. When you remove the lid, it becomes a serving bowl.
An attractive, natural and durable gift
There are those who love nature, but perhaps they can only enjoy it at weekends or when they’re on holiday. That is why plants are a perfect gift option. They are attractive and, with a little care, they can last up to a whole decade!
Small plants are perfect for homes that do not have much space, such as an apartment or a shared flat. With plants, you can give a little piece of the natural world to those who love greenery. You could put it into a ceramic pot or a beautiful vase to give it that special touch.
Don’t miss the range of live plants in the Plants, gardening and outdoor section.
