5 tips for creative gifts

Christmas is all about gifts, but gifts that are left in a drawer and forgotten about as soon as you say "Christmas tree" are not good for the Christmas spirit or our planet. Here are tips for some creative and sustainable Christmas gifts that will warm the recipient's heart, not fill drawers and cupboards.

Homemade Christmas gift

Few things are as cozy and creative as being able to give a gift you've made yourself. We don't mean that you have to break out the magic dough again, but for example, gather your best photos and make an album from the past year. Or a calendar, if you don't have time to put together a whole album. Good memories are always nice to put under the tree. And who doesn't like something good to munch on under the blanket on the sofa? Edible Christmas gifts are a winner!

Gift card for sauna

This won't be left in a drawer, nor will it be forgotten. Imagine being able to give a Christmas gift that warms you as much as a sauna! This is a Christmas gift that surprises, gives you something to look forward to, and not least that you can experience together! We have several experiences to choose from, and PrivatKOK and KOK-cruise are great to give away alone (but to both of you) for some extra warm quality time together, or you can be several who go together on the Christmas gift.

Voucher for bear services

No way! But let's be honest. There are plenty of people out there with busy schedules. A really creative gift is a voucher for a service, such as babysitting or dog sitting. It's guaranteed to be greatly appreciated by a recipient who needs some time off. Or a voucher for just enjoying movie nights and dinners at home, or for everyday activities you know the recipient enjoys. The great thing about vouchers as Christmas gifts is that you can be as creative as you like when making them!

A guided tour where you are the guide

Take a loved one on a guided tour to a place you're particularly fond of, a kind of local blue tour. It could be anything from a park you particularly like or a secluded trail in the woods that you hold dear to a boat trip to a rocky outcrop with beautiful views or a bus trip with selected stops. Anyone who gets a Christmas gift like this is lucky.

Eco-friendly gift card

KOK is a corporate sponsor of WWF. This means that we support their work for a living nature with an annual amount, and we hope that many others, both companies and individuals, will join the support. A Christmas gift you can give away is gift card with a nice animal motif, or perhaps a personalized gift card film! Og WWF calendars with pictures of nature is a practical and beautiful gift that will also make the recipient a little wiser. This year's calendar contains facts about how animals learn from each other.
