Here’s a curated selection of some of my favourite brands and businesses, mostly from Romania, with a few international gems, to inspire thoughtful gifting.
Whether it’s for Christmas or simply for an ordinary day when you feel like offering something meaningful, these are my recommendations.
Please, please support small and medium businesses first. Choose artisans, handcrafted pieces, and creations that tell a story; not mass-produced items made in questionable conditions.
This holiday season, let’s honour the place we all call home: Earth. Reduce waste, avoid compulsive buying, and embrace the idea of choosing less but better: fewer, more meaningful gifts instead of mass-market products. Thoughtful gifting is about quality, care, and creating moments of joy that truly matter.
And just to be clear: this is not a paid or sponsored article of any kind. It’s simply my wish to support, promote, and empower excellent women who are shaping our society for the better.
