A gift from Mallorca works because it carries a memory. The only question is which one. Someone who has summer on their mind will be happy with something different than someone who loves the island in winter. Here are ten ideas, sorted by the person you are gifting.
For culinary connoisseurs
1. Extra virgin olive oil with a story. An extra virgin olive oil from an island mill is the gift that is guaranteed to be used up. Robust oils for people who love to cook, mild ones for everyone else. To choose from: Olive oil from Mallorca.
2. Flor de Sal. Small, light, surprisingly effective. Anyone who tries it on a tomato for the first time understands the difference immediately.
3. Paprika powder from the island. Pimentón dulce and picante made from Mallorcan peppers, a spice that is rarely found in German kitchens but finds immediate use nonetheless.
For wine and spirits lovers
4. A bottle with history. A red wine from Binissalem or a Callet from the east is something you won't find on a shelf in Germany. That is exactly what makes it a gift.
5. Gin from the island. With Sóller oranges, rosemary, and juniper from the Tramuntana, gin from Mallorca tastes significantly different than the big brands.
6. Hierbas de Mallorca. For many, the island's herbal liqueur is the strongest holiday memory of all, as it marked the end of every good dinner.
7. Solera brandy. For people who like whiskey or cognac, a brandy from Mallorca is a genuine discovery.
For anyone with wanderlust
8. Coffee like in an island bar. Dark roasted, full-bodied, exactly the taste of breakfast on the plaza.
9. Jam from island fruits. Fig, apricot, orange. Homemade in small batches and cheaper than most souvenirs.
10. A hand-woven basket bag. Palm leaf weaving is one of Mallorca's oldest crafts. A piece that lasts for years and reminds you of the island with every shopping trip.
If you need it fast: ready-made boxes
If you don't want to put something together yourself, you will find coordinated combinations in our gift boxes from Mallorca. The advantage over individually purchased products is less about the price and more about the packaging: The box arrives ready to give as a gift and doesn't need to be repacked.
Three tips to help with gifting
Send the package early enough. Especially before Christmas, delivery times from Spain are longer than within Germany; plan for a one-week buffer.
Upon request, we can ship directly to the recipient, with a greeting card and no invoice in the package. Simply provide a different delivery address.
And think about the target audience: Alcohol is a wonderful gift, but not for everyone. A combination of olive oil, salt, and jam almost always hits the mark.
