Gift ideas Alsace

In the heart of Riquewihr, this 3-story store is a real treasure trove. Here, we fall back into childhood among the villages with half-timbered houses and their illuminations, all reproduced in miniature. Everywhere, thousands of decorations are displayed: nativity scenes, handmade Christmas ornaments, wooden ornaments, nutcrackers, candleholders... Everything is sublime, colorful and we take a lot of eyes! The welcome is always very pleasant: it is therefore not surprising that the store has won the trophy for the welcome label Qualité Or 2022!

It's a little corner of paradise dedicated to Mother Nature! Philippe welcomes you in his adorable shop full of fantasy where a profusion of colorful and fragrant flowers are displayed. Purple anemones, seductive peonies, flirtatious roses, voluptuous tuberoses, delicate irises, dazzling dahlias and other floral curiosities: here's what you need to compose original bouquets throughout the seasons! Special mention to the Advent wreaths and Christmas decorations that are wonderfully stunning! Online store and delivery service.

Fabien Osmont had the good idea of putting Japan in the spotlight in his boutique Konjaku, the real Japan from kawaii to samurai. Passionate about Nipponese culture from an early age, he travels the length and breadth of Japan in search of artisans and other suppliers of beautifully finished products. Here, you'll find only beautiful, authentic objects directly imported, often one-of-a-kind handmade pieces. A little novelty for grown-ups: sake, that rice wine, is now available. For children, there's a kawai-manga area where you'll find little objects and costumes dear to cosplayers (who'll recognize themselves!), and for lovers of beautiful decorative pieces, the choice is varied: vases, sushi trays, tea goblets, in porcelain, glazed earthenware, cutlery, raku, lacquer, jewelry in Uwajima pearls (which resemble cultured pearls but with a slight natural coloring), tea boxes, kokeshis, lighting fixtures... Different worlds are represented: calligraphy, origami, ikebana (floral art), martial arts (with sublime exotic wooden swords). On the textile side, you'll marvel at the silk kimonos and haoris (second-hand to make them as affordable as possible) and cotton yukatas. You'll even find the traditional geta with its thick wooden sole! Upstairs, Fabien has set up a meeting and exchange area (with tatami, of course!) for demonstrations, events and workshops. Check out the program on his Facebook page. A must-see!

Nestled in a discreet courtyard, this little store is full of treasures for young and old.

You can come here to make a funny gift to a close friend or a nice birth or birthday gift for our little ones. A nice address to find original things!

Located just a hop, skip and a jump from Place de l'Homme de Fer, Les Herbes Folles is one of the must-visit designer boutiques in downtown Strasbourg. Its founder, Fany Moraitis, was determined to promote the art of Alsatian handcrafting. You'll discover no less than twenty local designers in this store. Jewelry, natural stones, illustrations, children's products and many other little treasures. All the objects are handmade and tell their most beautiful stories!

This very pretty little shop is full of high quality regional products: Alsatian pottery, household linens, natural soaps, not to mention a wide range of decorative objects that change with the seasons.

Defined as collections of desires, The Store is Colmar's trendy boutique, featuring the names of a few designers such as American Vintage, Chloé Stora, Léon & Harper, Maison Scotch, Minimum, Ottod'Ame, Reiko... to name just a few. A real fashion show of trendy brands for fashion enthusiasts, which is revealed in a vintage style décor. A little more than a clothing store, a few bags, jewellery, shoes, socks and other accessories are added to create a resolutely feminine and trendy look. In search of a touch of fantasy, a touch of masculinity or the choice of timeless elegance, The Store offers a mix and match of stylish brands, with varied universes, each with a real identity. A little more, the boutique offers a unique shopping experience through original events, the "eat and drink, dance & shop", to shop for trendy pieces in a good mood and with a festive atmosphere.

We liked the Bôcal, we were worried when we knew it was moving. When we walked through the door, we were reassured and clearly, we loved this new place. The manager has given her local arts and crafts store an atmosphere conducive to the discovery of pieces of furniture, accessories, decorative objects, lighting and jewelry. All items, except furniture, are from local designers. Claire's welcome is particularly pleasant and attentive. She easily distills her advice and talks about her artists like a friend.

In the Un Noël en Alsace store, you'll find this atmosphere all year round, with all kinds of decorations for the tree: lace, small hand-painted wooden subjects, nativity scenes in all shapes and sizes, santons...

New items are regularly put forward, and whatever your desires or budget, you'll always find something to take home.

In this fun shop, you'll find great gift ideas for native Alsatians, or souvenirs to take home with you. A wide selection of T-shirts with creative and humorous visuals are displayed on the shelves.

Bretzel Airlines is 17 years of passion for Alsace characterized by the symbolic pretzel that we find on all the products of the Alsatian sign and also in this store, as decoration!

Widely distributed in France, L 'Occitane has a very nice boutique in the heart of the old town of Colmar, just steps from the famous Pfister house. From the door crossed, you are transported from Alsace to Provence! Peony, lavender, cherry blossom, verveine and rose are in many products presented in retro packs: Perfume water, soap, face and body creams, hair care, etc. Men are not left with a very complete range (shaving products, perfume, creams…). Candles, atmosphere scents and other presenters are also available to hire your soothing and relaxing notebook.

A brand that has been present in Holland since 1926, Mulhousiens had to wait almost a century to see it land in their town! When it opened in April 2015, the store was an instant hit. The concept is appealing: a multitude of everyday items at very attractive prices. The offbeat offering is original and differentiated, just like H&M Home, which adjoins Hema on the same rue du Sauvage. This brand-new store extends over 600^m2 and 2 levels. It features an assortment of products that have made Hema such a success: home decor, tableware, kitchen utensils, delicacies, stationery, children's products, beauty products... All with a contemporary and often colorful design. The spirit and layout are resolutely contemporary: make-up in the beauty department rubs shoulders with coffee and a few delicacies, the baby department touches the stationery department, gardening is right next to the lingerie department... It's all rather pleasant and original, and the very affordable prices are bound to make you fall in love. A special mention goes to the "cooking" area, with its wide variety of baking moulds and edible decorations to personalize cakes and pastries. It's also hard to resist all the tempting confectionery such as wafers and chocolate-covered marzipans. And what can we say about the stationery department, with its adorable notebooks, rolls of masking tape and other colorful pens.

How can we miss Lush and not stop there? An attractive and atypical storefront, but above all scents! The franchise offers fresh and handmade cosmetics such as multicolored bath balls, soaps with bewitching fragrances and solid shampoos. All the products are based on fruits, vegetables and essential oils. Here, we try to be as eco-responsible as possible: no packaging when it is unnecessary, paper bags instead of plastic and no animal testing. A happiness for your ethics but above all for the planet.

Good to know, the Favourite also acts as a parcel relay point, which is very practical if you don't want to go downtown to pick up one of your orders.

If you're looking for an exceptional cigar, this is the place to be. The shop offers a superb cigar cellar in the basement of its tobacco shop but also leather cases, humidified pouches, lighters, zippos, ashtrays...
