Little Treats

Little treats for Christmas: gift ideas, small and refined

Little treats are gifts that deserve to be celebrated: small in size, refined in workmanship and high-quality in material. Small gifts for Christmas convince because they are close to the everyday life of the recipient and still radiate something special. A piece that is picked up every day reminds the person of the giver more often than one that ends up on a shelf. Size matters less here than the right fit. Gift ideas, small and refined, can be narrowed down using three criteria: used on the go or at home, practical or indulgent, and matching what the person already wears. Small Christmas gifts from the areas of wallets, card holders and jewelry can be chosen precisely this way. In the end, material, colour and workmanship decide whether a piece becomes a favourite, and that is exactly where quality shows in the small things.

Wallets and credit card holders for women and men

Wallets are among those pieces that rarely get replaced until a new one is lying on the table. A wallet as a gift for women scores with room for cards, coins and notes in a shape that fits into a handbag. Women's wallets range from slim formats to large models with many compartments. A wallet as a gift for men, by contrast, often convinces with a flat build that hardly adds bulk. Men's wallets usually offer card slots and, on some models, a coin compartment. Anyone who prefers to travel light is well served by a credit card holder. Women's credit card holders and men's credit card holders take a few cards and need hardly any space. A credit card holder as a gift therefore focuses on the essentials, while the wallet is meant for everything else that has to come along. The two combine well: the holder for the evening, the wallet for everyday life.

Toiletry & cosmetic bags, jewelry cases and bag straps as gifts

Toiletry & cosmetic bags create order in the bathroom and on the move. A cosmetic bag as a Christmas gift keeps skincare and make-up together, from the bathroom to the suitcase, and differs from model to model in size and layout. It is worth looking at the compartments: small ones for tubes and brushes, a large one for bottles. A jewelry case as a gift gives necklaces, rings and earrings a fixed place, instead of leaving them loose in a drawer. Compartments in which the individual pieces lie separately are important. A bag strap as a small gift changes how a bag can be carried: instead of in the hand, it hangs over the shoulder or is worn across the body. Length and fastening should suit the bag. All three pieces are made for daily use and are welcome to stand out. Precisely such refined pieces show that an eye for detail counts when giving gifts.
