Give something authentic from Texel this year
December is always a warm month for me. You can feel it on Texel too: the island becomes a little quieter, the air fresher and lights appear everywhere in the streets. As soon as that time of year arrives, it's time to start looking for gifts for Sinterklaas or Christmas, and of course Sinterklaas and Father Christmas want to give everyone something special. Something that's not standard, but something with a story.
That's why I'd like to share my favourite Texel gift ideas for him and her. Each and every one of these products is something I believe in and that has been loved by visitors and islanders alike for years.
1. Wool socks from Texel
A warm gift for ladies and gentlemen
Our sheep's wool socks remain the most popular gift during Sinterklaas and Christmas. They are warm, sturdy and made from wool from Texel sheep. This makes them not only sustainable, but also very suitable as a gift for both men and women.
Are you looking for a gift for a man who loves the outdoors? Then the thick, grey models are ideal. For women, the beige, warm socks are the most popular.
Also good to know: if you sign up for our newsletter, you will receive a 5% discount code in your email. Handy if you want to give several pairs of socks as a gift.
2. Sheepskin from Texel sheep
A unique gift that never fails
A sheepskin from Texel is a gift that always makes an impression. The skins of the Texel breed are known for their thickness, shine and natural warmth. No two skins are the same, so you are always giving a personal gift.
A sheepskin is often bought as a Christmas gift for women who appreciate interior design and atmosphere, but also as a gift for men who like to sit outside or relax in their armchair.
3. Wool plaid
A warm and luxurious gift for the festive season
A Texel wool plaid is a gift that radiates warmth and luxury. Our plaids are made from genuine Texel wool and feel sturdy, soft and natural. You can choose from two sizes: a large wool blanket for the sofa or bed, and a smaller plaid that is perfect for your lap or in the nursery.
A Texel plaid is the kind of gift that will always be used—practical, stylish and durable. Perfect and extra special for the festive season.
4. Texel care products
Small gifts that are perfect for St. Nicholas' bag
Our Texel care products are perfect as small and natural gifts for Sinterklaas or Christmas. Many products contain lanolin, a nourishing substance from sheep's wool that keeps the skin soft and helps with dryness. You can also find lovely gifts among the products made from Texel lavender, loved for its soothing and fresh scent.
A nice surprise that Sinterklaas can always use.
5. Wool slippers
The ideal gift for winter
Our wool slippers from Texel are wonderfully warm and soft thanks to the natural wool fibres. They mould to your feet and keep them comfortably warm without overheating. It is the kind of gift that is always appreciated by both men and women: practical, cosy and perfect for the winter months.
6. A gift package with Texel delicacies
For those who can't choose
A gift package with Texel delicacies remains one of the most enjoyable gifts you can give.
Think of:
- Texel chocolate
- cheese from the island
- biscuits from Bakkerij Timmer
- speciality beer
- syrup, jam or mustard
It is the perfect gift for families, colleagues or friends who love Texel.
Why a Texel gift is such a good idea
You're not just giving a product. You're giving a piece of the island.
A story.
Craftsmanship.
Warmth.
And if you really want to give someone something special for Sinterklaas or Christmas, then a Texel gift is just the thing. Whether it's a gift for him or her, Texel stands for quality, nature and authenticity.
I wish you all a wonderful time with friends and family.
