Baltic Gift Ideas: Estonian Tableware

Wonderful and whimsical hand-painted animal plates from Estonia. Mugs, bowls, plates, trivets, and teapots are just some of the items that are colored by scenes of dogs chasing cats, a little hedgehog curling up to go to sleep, or a rabbit in the snow. Many of our customers have given it as a gift to the children in their lives, knowing that the adults will love it just as much.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Polish and Lithuanian Teas

Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. And now that it continues to get colder, it's the perfect gift to let people know your warm feelings for them.
In Polish teas, we have a wonderfully fragrant and fruity black currant as well as an energizing apple and peppermint. Additionally, we have a wonderful loose mixed fruit tea.
We also recently received teas from Lithuania. Our Linden tea, which is so reminiscent of the delicate blooms one finds in the springtime, is good for the nerves and stomach. There is also the cough remedy with licorice, which is soothing and sweet.
This is a perfect gift for hosts and hostesses during your many home visits this season.
