Perfect presents for Christmas, birthdays or any other special occasion.
In the old days, when resources were scarcer, people gifted practical things that their loved ones needed anyway - wool socks knitted by grandmother, wooden kitchen utensils, sewing items or tools for maintaining the household. Fast forward to today, as everyday items have become more affordable, people are getting creative with presents. Giving experiences like scuba diving lessons, a chance to fly with a paraglider or cooking workshops is becoming popular. Products with a handmade touch, like local design goods, are also appreciated. And of course, you can't go wrong with a thoughtful, self-made present.
Here are some gift ideas with a special, local touch that the Estonian in your life is sure to love.
Design innovation
Give the gift of health and nutrition with Click and Grow, a self-contained, indoor gardening device created in Estonia. It provides light and water to herbs, fruits, vegetables and salads while looking pretty stylish too.
Warm winter handicrafts
Quality, handmade accessories to keep the recipient warm in the winter. Colourful, knitted gloves from Muhu, wool attire from Kihnu and Hiiumaa, and delicate knitted lace from Haapsalu that will remind them of you every time they wear them!
Connecting digitally
Make a Skype video call during the holidays to someone you're missing.
