Christmas is upon us: lights on, the smell of hot chocolate, decorations that embellish houses and streets… in this festive atmosphere, L’Artisanà remains a point of reference for giving a traditional gift!
At the Boutiques in Aosta, Ayas, Cogne and Courmayeur and at the corners in Bard, Fénis, La Thuile, Pré-Saint-Didier, Saint Pierre, Skyway Monte Bianco, Torgnon and Villeneuve you can be inspired by numerous gift ideas. Whether they are young or old, no one can resist the charm of hand-made objects!
A warm wool blanket, a soft pair of boiled wool slippers, hand-woven hemp textile accessories, an elaborate bobbin lace or a bouquet of wooden flowers cannot be missing from the gifts for home lovers.
For those with a sweet tooth, there are wooden cutting boards expertly carved with flowers or cockerels to hold typical cured meats and cheeses (among the 2023 novelties, a refrigerated cutting board stands out to keep the delicacies cool), copper pots to slowly cook tasty polenta, friendship cups in maple, ash and walnut ready to be used to enjoy the sweet and aromatic Valdostana coffee in company!
The ceramic objects will then be able to cheer the eyes of many: hand-crafted and turned cups (some decorated with 100% Valle d’Aosta enamels, others with the shapes of flowers and leaves printed on them, others still with elegant and minimal lines), bowls for storing objects or centerpieces, lively pictures and colorful little animals.
Passionate about writing? They will certainly appreciate the leather-bound notebooks, ideal for transcribing recipes, travel memories or thoughts.
Finally, for lovers of tradition, there is no shortage of elegantly decorated grolle, carefully crafted sculptures, cockerels made from forked twigs, tatà of all shapes and sizes, soapstone sculptures and a good pair of poplar wood clogs.
We look forward to giving you the best advice on how to make your relatives and friends happy!
