German Gift Ideas for People Missing Germany
0
0
Right around now I start getting emails and messages looking for great German gift ideas. They go something like this “my husband is German, and misses home”… “my daughter was an exchange student in Heidelberg, and I want to get her something to remind her”… “my wife’s Oma passed away, so the packages aren’t coming anymore”. We all want to find that special something… that magical gift that makes their eyes light up! Thanks to the many helpful people on my Facebook page, I was able to put together a list of German gift ideas that HOPEFULLY bring on a smile, trigger a memory, or just make the holiday season a little brighter for people missing Germany.
Many of the items are German gifts made in Germany. There are personalized gifts, food gifts, Christmas decorations, and gifts for the home Biergarten. Some are a way of taking people to Germany (if only in spirit)… and for the over the top gift, there are even trips TO Germany. You will find something for men or women, children and pets.
Best of all, there is something for every price point. (And if you have any suggestions, send them here… GermanGirlinAmerica@gmail.com)
I hope you find the perfect thing!

Sternkopf Engel
These minimalist and elegant Sternkopf Engel are the perfect guardian angels to watch over someone you love year round. Carved in the Erzgebirge, the slender Angels come in a variety of colors, sizes and and poses (and I love the musicians!). What makes these extra special is their flowing shape… something that can’t just be carved out on a lathe. They have sway and curves like a real woman! One is certain to spark a connection to someone you know. Find the whole collection, as well as calendars, books and cards here–> Sternkopf Engel

Magazines and Newspapers
Reading about home, is a great way of staying in connection. Most in German, but German Life is in English (and it’s a GREAT GIFT!)
NOTE- Print magazines and Newspapers shipped from Germany are expensive! But the Kindle editions are quite reasonable (You don’t need to own a Kindle, you just need the Kindle APP)
