Christmas should be a time of celebration and peace for everyone, yet the hectic world we live in, with its fast pace and endless commitments, often forces us to rush around trying to meet everyone’s needs, making us lose sight of the true spirit of the season. Very often, we find ourselves on the eve of Christmas still searching for the perfect gift for our loved ones—but there’s no need to worry. Even when time is short, there are still plenty of options to surprise and bring a smile to those we love. There are, in fact, many creative ideas for last-minute Christmas gifts, with suggestions for him and for her, as well as charity gifts to bring a little happiness to those spending a less fortunate Christmas than ours.
Christmas gift ideas for him, for her, for the home…
On our blog, we have published several articles to help you choose your presents and also about the origin of the custom of giving gifts and the meaning behind exchanging presents at Christmas. This is a deeply rooted tradition that dates far back in time, long before Father Christmas and the consumerist frenzy of today. The custom of exchanging gifts among adults has ancient roots, dating back to the Romans, who, on New Year’s Day (1st January), would exchange consecrated twigs as a sign of good wishes for prosperity and abundance—these were called strenae.
Today, Christmas is a universal celebration of love and hope, and the exchange of gifts carries a profound meaning that often goes beyond the material value of the object itself. Presents symbolise the wishes of love and hope we want to share with those dear to us—an expression from the heart, a gesture that brings joy both to giver and receiver.
Let’s look at some ideas for last-minute Christmas gifts.
These modular bracelets are suitable gifts for any occasion, and in our online store you’ll find a wide selection of charms, including those with symbols of faith. Personalised modular bracelets combine the beauty of jewellery with the meaning of the charms chosen, creating something unique that reflects the recipient’s personal taste. They are versatile, original pieces that allow the wearer to express their personality and style in a distinctive way.
The defining feature of these bracelets is that you can add or remove charms or pendants according to your taste and the meaningful events of your life. This flexibility makes them a perfect gift, as they can be personalised over time to match the recipient’s preferences and interests.
Choosing charity gifts for Christmas is an act of love and generosity—for both the giver and the receiver. Because Christmas should be a season of joy, sharing, and love, there is no better way to celebrate the Christmas spirit than by choosing gifts that give back. This ethical choice will not only bring happiness to those who receive the presents but will also have a positive impact on those who benefit from them.
At the heart of Christmas, we should think of giving not merely as a way to fulfil wishes or surprise friends and family, but as an act inspired by deep feelings of love, compassion, peace, respect for those who suffer, and care for our precious planet. Love for those closest to us is what drives us to search for the perfect gift—but it should also extend to love for humanity as a whole. This season offers us the opportunity to show affection and care not only to our loved ones but also to those in difficulty, those struggling to survive, and the less fortunate.
Caring for the environment is also an important part of choosing charity gifts. By selecting sustainable, handmade, or eco-friendly products, we help to protect our planet—a tangible sign of respect for the Earth we share with all living beings.
Among Christmas gift ideas, gourmet treats are a must. In this case too, we recommend something original—such as a hamper composed by you with monastery products. You can choose from a wide variety of sweets, such as chocolate, jams, and candies, as well as olive oil, liqueurs and digestifs, herbal infusions, and teas—all made following ancient recipes passed down through monastic wisdom and using only natural ingredients.
In monasteries, tradition and dedication come together to create a wide range of high-quality products. Our store offers a selection of unique items from monasteries around the world—from beekeeping products such as honey, to liqueurs and wines, to essential oils, sweets, brandies, herbal remedies, and much more, each crafted with care.
As you may know, monasteries are renowned for producing exceptionally high-quality honey and beekeeping products. Honey, with its natural sweetness and health benefits, is just one of the treasures you can find. What could be a sweeter gift?
Monasteries are also famous for producing fine liqueurs, wines, brandies, and spirits. These drinks, often made according to ancient recipes handed down through generations, offer a taste of tradition and craftsmanship—perfect for convivial moments or as special gifts for a warm, flavourful Christmas shared with others.
For centuries, monastic herbalists have created herbal teas, preparations, and natural remedies to promote physical and mental wellbeing. These products offer a natural approach to health and can make a thoughtful gift for those we love.
And let’s not forget that monks and nuns carefully prepare handmade sweets, confections, and delicacies, often following secret ancient recipes. These delightful treats are the fruit of tradition, patience, and dedication.
