Eulenschnitt: small gifts for the grown-ups
Between baby clothes and wooden toys there is a gap: the small something for the adults. A little present for coffee, a gift for a baby shower, something for your own kitchen. Eulenschnitt fills exactly that gap – most pieces cost between 8 and 25 francs.
Socks with a statement
The socks with the word «Mama» are what you give when a big present would be too much and a card too little. 80% cotton with polyamide and elastane, tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, made in Turkey. They come in three size ranges from 35–38 to 43–46 – and in further versions such as «Day Dreamer».
Mugs from a Portuguese pottery
The «Coffee Lover» mug holds 320 ml, stands 10 cm tall and is made of stoneware – crafted by hand in a small pottery in Portugal. Colour nuances and fine differences in the glaze are therefore intended: every mug looks a little different. It is dishwasher-safe all the same.
Storage jars with wooden lids
The mini storage jar «bunny» holds 200 ml and is made of borosilicate glass – the same heat-resistant glass as laboratory equipment. The acacia wood lid is engraved and a silicone ring seals it. Practical as gift packaging: sweets inside, and the packaging stays in use afterwards.
For the laid table
Then there are things for the table such as the carafe with a black heart, breakfast boards for children, ice cube trays and hair clips. The handwriting is the same throughout: pared back, mostly black on white, with a small wink.
Frequently asked questions
Which sock sizes are available?
Three ranges: S for 35–38, M for 39–42 and L for 43–46. One model thus covers the whole family – practical when giving a gift and knowing the shoe size only roughly. Wash at 30 °C with similar colours.
Are mugs and jars dishwasher-safe?
The stoneware mug yes, the storage jar too. The acacia wood lid, however, is not – wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it at once, otherwise the wood cracks. If you like, oil it lightly before first use.
Why does every mug look different?
Because it is shaped and glazed by hand. Differences in shade and texture are not a defect but the consequence – anyone expecting two identical mugs is better served by industrial ware.
What works as a gift under 15 francs?
The mini storage jar is 8 francs, the ice cube tray 10, socks and hair clips 14. That allows you to give something to a larger group without it feeling arbitrary.
You will find the whole range in the Eulenschnitt collection – more ideas under For Mums and DELIGHTS. Larger gifts are presented in the guide Sustainable gifts for a birth.
