All of us love a good Romantic Story – especially when it comes to the season of love. No, it is not Valentine’s. It is the day Christians celebrate the love that was shown to us two thousand years ago. It is this thought that brought us to add a little romance to our range of gifts for this joyous festive.
This year, our inspiration comes from the Romantic Road; also known as the Romantisch Straße in Germany. Starts in Wurzburg and ends in Fussen on the Austrian border, the journey passes many medieval towns as old as the Christmas love story, along the Tauber Valley, with its fairy tale castles, patchwork of cobble stone streets, picturesque landscape, timber frame houses and old fashion market places. The romantic road is also renowned for its lively Christmas market places that are open throughout the year especially in towns like Rothenburg ob der Tauber. These are the places where one can spot most of the new Christmas gifting and decoration trends in Germany.
Though not originating in Germany, Christmas romance is akin to a romantic passage. The first encounter for a believer is always magical. We fall in love just like in a fairy tale story, with its adventures, marvels and wonders, and larger than life hero and heroin. The similarity of these journeys is that both journeys are full of miracles, one occurs in the believers’ hearts; and the other when the journey starts.
Take a look through the range of gifts to discover patterns, materials, ornaments and food traditionally found in many of these alluring German medieval treasures. Wish upon a star that some of these gifts will bring miracles to their hearts; your loved ones and your recipients.
Christmas, after all, is a love story through and through. Make your recipients feel the magic too.
Merry Christmas or “Fröhliche Weihnachten” as they say in German!
