Unique and rare gifts that will help you express your love and appreciation this holiday season

It’s gifting season, everyone!

With Christmas coming up, followed shortly by New years, it is time to think about presents, so we don’t find ourselves anxiously guessing if our delivery will be on time in a November-black-Friday and holiday season logistical chaos.

Besides, planning ahead allows you to aim for really cool stuff that typically needs research and advanced order.

Here’s a list of rare and unique presents that will help you celebrate your loved ones in an unforgettable way.

Hand painted handkerchiefs and hand painted scarves by an Italian artist based in Treviso

On artist Luisella Rossi’s page on etsy you will definitely find something that a true art lover will appreciate. And all for a very reasonable price! Etsy ships worldwide, but we know that “worldwide” means only some parts of the world. But good thing we have Parlaxy! Even if Etsy delivers to your country, create an order and compare delivery fees – more times than not, Parlaxy is cheaper than international delivery handled by a store or a big platform.

A perfect and very thoughtful gift for someone who cares about the environment

WoodWe cases for macbooks and Iphones are a niche hit, engaging more people who consciously decide to limit their plastic trail. This young company from Lithuania decided to utilize the perfect renewable resource their country has – wood. The company offers a wide range of wooden products, but our personal favorite is this case made of genuine moss and recycled plastic. Lifetime guarantee granted!

A handmade backpack or travel bag from a Scottish crafting company based in Glasgow

Trakke is a brand that has won the hearts and loyalty of those who respect reliability and comfort when it comes to all things bags. Brand’s products are not cheap, but the word is – they are absolutely worth it, since the new owner will probably use the thing for many years. The store itself ships only across the UK, so if you like the idea of gifting a really cool gear to your loved one, we advise you to create an order on Parlaxy first. No need to spend even more money on international shipping!

Something that will blow your wine-loving friend’s mind

These glasses from the German company Zalto are so cool, it seems not everyone could pull them off! They are stylish and the design is so original, it makes them a must in any true connoisseur's wine glass collection. You should probably hurry up if you want to buy these wine glasses – they are on many wish lists and gift idea websites for the 2024 holiday season. Create an order today – maybe with a Parlaxy traveler you can beat the rush and get them way beforehand!

A vacuum jug from one of Denmark’s best designers

Eva Solo’s, designer of the year 2015, created these jugs years ago and they've only grown in demand since. The website offers a lot of options for coffee lovers, but the shipping situation isn’t ideal. You can choose delivery to one of the EU countries on the checkout page, but if you’re outside of Europe, you are left hoping one of the distributors will have what you need. OR look if there’s a traveler coming your way – and ask them to bring this perfect present to you.
