10 tips for Christmas gifts
One of the best aspects of Christmas is giving gifts that will make you happy. And if you ask us, the best gifts are the ones you can eat.
When the first Christmas lights come on and the air in the streets of Prague is filled with the scent of spices, the same question comes back to us every year: what will we give for Christmas this year ? Between quickly forgotten objects and impersonal gifts, there is another option - pleasure of the senses, sharing and authenticity.
How about giving a gourmet Christmas gift from Oliviers&Co this year? Premium Mediterranean products, carefully selected from enthusiastic producers, that will transport your loved ones to a world of flavors.
Fortunately, there are many ways to spoil your loved ones, whether it's with an advent calendar, advent gifts, a wrapping calendar, or gifts for the hosts who welcome us into their homes during the numerous Christmas celebrations. And of course, with a nice present under the tree.
Some people like to shop early, while others only get into the Christmas spirit when the Christmas lights come on in the streets of Prague. Every year we have many customers who buy gourmet Christmas gifts for their loved ones, from the moment this year's Christmas collection from France arrives in stores in October until Christmas Eve.
Don't have any gift ideas this year ? Are you looking for an original Christmas gift for a loved one, colleague or cooking lover?
For inspiration, we bring you our favorite gourmet gifts that will undoubtedly make the eyes of the recipient light up ;) And maybe you'll be lucky and taste them yourself!
If you need help choosing the perfect gift, we are available at our store in Dlouhá, by phone, email or via Instagram message. Do not hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to help you.
