Respecting boundaries
Don't be afraid of gift cards. They are no longer a last-minute "gift." They are a thoughtful gesture that shows you are accommodating the other person's customs and respecting their view of gifts. And you don't have to worry that the gift will be returned the next day or left in the closet, even though you thought that sweater was a really great buy.
Give stories (and moments for themselves)
If the person you are giving a gift to is fond of books, instead of choosing from the new releases on the shelves of our bookstores, let him or her choose what they would like to read. Maybe they don't need another fantasy novel, maybe they want to try a different genre.
📕 You can combine a gift card to one of the largest bookstores Panta Rhei or Martinus, with an accessory that will make their reading corner their favorite place in the apartment. We recommend Beautiful candles.
📰 For avid readers of print media, a subscription to Denník N or .týždeň magazine is definitely worth considering. How about adding an online course?
🎥 Movie lovers will appreciate access to the DAFilms database. Add a voucher for healthy treats from the Organic and Health section, and your gift recipient will be set for entertainment during long winter evenings.
For those who can't sit still at home
Discovering the beauty of the surrounding world is the most beautiful gift you can give. And receive. A weekend stay in a nearby town or a longer trip abroad? The decision is up to the recipient. But you can contribute to making it an experience they will remember.
⛰️ Want to give a gift to a nature lover who would swap city tourism for the countryside any day? In functional clothing from Nika Intima ou can head to Demänovská Valley to stay at Chalets Minerália or directly to the High Tatras to the Atrium High Tatras hotel.
✈️ The best way to test a newly learned language is in a foreign country, so you can combine a language course (for example, online at the Laurov Institute or Zaraz language school) with the purchase of airline tickets through Pelikán.
🇸🇰 The recipient can also enjoy a musical experience thanks to tickets purchased through Eventim, while GoOut covers domestic concerts and various events. You can choose from many accommodations in Slovakia in the Travel section. It's up to you whether you choose a hotel, a cottage, or combine it with a wellness stay. There are no limits to your imagination here.
Gifts that go together
👗 Do you have a fashion lover at home who enjoys dressing up and learning about fashion? Try combining a course at FashionSpy with a voucher for clothing purchases at Zalando.
🛋️ We probably don't need to mention that everyone can find something they like at Bonami. If you add a gift card from any store in the Food section, you'll create a thousand possibilities for the recipient to put together a practical gift.
🍳 We'll play into your hands with a similar combination – a gift card from NAY and, for example, a cooking course.
🧒 Leave toys for the little ones in the family to grandma and grandpa, and offer them the world of books and languages. The ideal combination is, for example, the online language school Betty´s Academy and the talking books Geniuso.
🪂 If the recipient loves adrenaline at least a little and you know about it, be sure to try "flying" experiences. You will find several of them on the website in the Flying and Jumping section. We also recommend the experience of a flight simulator at Simulator Centrum.
No stress, just smiles
There are many possibilities. Of course, with some people, you might decide that it's better not to buy anything and risk disappointing both them and yourself. However, there's nothing wrong with at least trying. The main thing is not to stress about it and to enjoy it as much as the recipient will enjoy your gift.
