Christmas in Poland is one of the most important cultural holidays in the country. The following are Christmas gifts from Poland that will amaze friends and family with their beauty and uniqueness. Shop for Polish Christmas gifts when you travel, and be sure to visit Christmas markets and souvenir shops for the best options.
Amber Gifts
Poland is famous for its amber jewelery, which is an impressive and wearable gift. Although most amber jewelry is geared towards women, and there are many styles of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings available, you can also find cufflinks and studs for men. Often times, the honey, bright green, or deep beer-colored amber is combined into one piece for interest and visual value. The Warsaw Market Square and the Krakow Cloth Hall are two sources of amber jewelry for Christmas gifts from Poland.
Polish ceramics
Hand-painted ceramic clothing in traditional designs makes a great gift. While large plates and bowls are available, it is also possible to find coffee mugs, cup-and-plate sets, and teapots. Practical and durable, your recipients will have these gifts for years to come.
Polish vodka
Vodka is the national drink of Poland and is produced in a variety of flavors. Zubrowka, or buffalo grass vodka, is a typical Polish drink and easy to find in stores that sell food and alcohol. Another favorite is honey vodka, which has a slightly sweet taste.
Polish folk art
The colorful carved figures are examples of Polish folk art that will brighten anyone’s day. These figures are available in all sizes and price ranges. They represent the peasants with traditional costumes, nativity scenes, Santa Claus, saints, angels or animals. These whimsical souvenirs from Poland also make fun packers.
Ginger cookies
Decorated and festive Christmas gingerbread cookies can be found at Christmas markets in Poland. As tree decorations or stocking fillings, Polish gingerbread cookies will greet recipients with holiday cheer.
