Twinkling lights and candlelight, cosiness and get-togethers with loved ones - Christmas is just around the corner and, like every year, so is the question of the best presents for mum, husband, children and friends.
Can I even afford presents this year? Many of us are asking ourselves this question this year. Don't worry - we have something suitable for all budget sizes. We in the Tigogreen team clearly believe that the best gift is joy and a celebration in peace and quiet with loved ones. We at Tahovital are especially grateful this year to be able to eat, celebrate and sit round the fire with family and friends. If there is still room in your wallet, we have summarised our top gift ideas for you here, true to the motto: everything can, nothing must - the main thing is to enjoy giving.
1. sustainable gifts with an ecological impact
Gifts with a social and ecological impact are also one of our top recommendations this year. Meaningful gifts can be, for example, a sponsorship for farm animals, such as a sheep or a beehive. There are also donation opportunities for a safe birth in countries such as Uganda, where a smooth delivery cannot be taken for granted and newborns and mothers can be given special support in the first few days after birth.
2. give the gift of health
Vitality and well-being in everyday life is our greatest asset. Especially now in the darker months, our body needs an extra portion of support, which we are happy to pass on. Nutrients, vitamins and healthy fatty acids support good immune defences, normal brain function and energy metabolism. Our favourite is of course the tigovit green tea complex with vitamin C for nerves, defences and beautiful skin. For all those who would like to give a little more as a Christmas present, we offer practical bundles, such as the Sun vitamin complex tigosol with vitamin D or in the Package with omega-3 oil.
3. give away natural cosmetics
For us, there is hardly anything better than giving the gift of beauty. As a daily wellness break for the skin, a Face cream duo for day and night, e.g. tigoderm Skincare day and night. The day cream contains vitalising green tea extract and vitamin C to support collagen formation and for antioxidant cell protection of the skin cells. The night cream contains Bacillus subtilis cultures for targeted regeneration during the resting phase. Synergistic active complex for every day and every skin type. If you still haven't had enough, add the Green tea deep cleansing mask - a perfect wellness evening with mum or friends.
4. give the gift of wellness & time out
You don't have to travel far to be far away. We appreciate gifts that transport us to other worlds and put us in a state of deep relaxation or a flow state. How about a soothing and warming Lomi Lomi Nui massage, the temple massage from Hawaii? Long, flowing movements are reminiscent of the power and cleansing of the sea, while warm oil provides a sense of security and relaxation. There are numerous offers for this massage art, many have specialised in it and offer vouchers.
5. support small businesses
All of the above points probably also fall under point 5. We make the purchase itself part of the gift. Buy jewellery from small artisan workshops, whether at markets, in small shops or online from small traders. A handmade necklace, jewellery or a handmade shaving brush for men - browse through small family businesses and turn shopping into a pre-Christmas experience. After the pandemic, small businesses still don't have it easy - even in the catering industry: a brunch voucher for your sister's favourite little café will not only make the recipient (and you) happy, but will also help the small business to keep going!
6. give the gift of pleasure
Good food and high-quality groceries turn every evening into a little holiday moment in everyday life. We like to give away high-quality products such as original Italian olive oil, pecorino and red wine for that sunny Tuscany feeling at home, extra-dark chocolate or pralines from small manufacturers or everything to do with green tea. Matcha sets, fine, handmade kyusus and high-quality green teas rich in catechins and polyphenols.
7. books, books, books
Reading makes you smart. Give books as gifts - whether "real" or as an ebook. Let's not let Netflix get us down, let's continue to celebrate books. Whether exciting novels, beautifully illustrated children's books, an illustrated book about the next travel destination or specialist literature on health topics, mindfulness and mindfulness.
8. give the gift of mindfulness
If you want a book for writing instead of reading: Mindfulness planners and books for daily journaling are also high up in our gift rankings. Your own yoga mat, preferably made from natural materials, an acupressure mat or yoga accessories are also highly recommended. It is a daily incentive to practise, to focus and to start the day in a conscious and balanced way.
9. gifts for the man
Finding the perfect gift, whether for a father, colleague, husband or brother, is usually difficult. One person loves the Crafting set for your own gin distillationThe other would love a personalised multifunctional pocket knife and still others would be delighted with sustainable clothing, be it a hat, outdoor equipment or a bathrobe.
10. cookery courses
Give the gift of an evening out with mum, girlfriend or sister on a shared cooking experience. Sushi making, pasta cooking classes, the perfect vegan dinner, Venetian tapas, tacos... - in most cities there is a colourful selection of culinary journeys through the evening. A wonderful gift to learn, enjoy, meet new people and have fun.
No matter what you choose, the best gift is the joy of giving and a peaceful, reflective holiday with your loved ones. Happy giving and a Merry Christmas!
