Christmas is just around the corner, and everyone is thinking about presents. But why do we give gifts at all? " Giving means giving someone something you'd rather keep for yourself ," as Selma Lagerlöf once said. According to researchers, kindness towards others is innate. Its origins lie in earlier group life – because only together could one survive. And that's what it's all about today, just as it was then: making others happy, strengthening our bonds, and showing that we've thought of each other.

Therefore, we would like to give you suggestions to find exactly the gift that will please and delight your loved ones:

Lucky gifts

What's important about Christmas? It's not the presents, but the gathering, the shared enjoyment, and the joyful moments.

But the carefree celebration is unlikely this year. Therefore, it's all the more important that we show our loved ones—near and far—that they're important to us and that we're thinking of one another.

How about choosing lucky gifts this year? Gifts from the heart that evoke memories of good times and satisfy longings, but also offer moments of relaxation.

It helps us a lot when we think about great moments in the past and surround ourselves with beautiful things that remind us of carefree holidays and relaxing moments in Provence.

Perhaps you feel the same way we do: We associate homemade items, lavender-scented products, or high-quality, stylish home accessories from Provence with relaxation, happiness, and joy?

In Provence, things still run differently. Quality is paramount over quantity; fresh produce like vegetables, fruit, olives, sausage, and cheese are traditionally purchased at weekly markets. Fabrics and home accessories are carefully selected for their stylish style. You're probably familiar with the famous phrase "art de vivre," the French attitude to life. Or maybe not?

No problem, we are happy to help you find something special and extraordinary for your loved ones or even for yourself.

We have put together a few lucky gift ideas for you:

4. Another nice idea is a self-designed Photo album . You probably still have pictures from your early days as a couple, so you can summarize shared moments and highlights in your life and review them together.
