This Christmas, let’s support the artisans

By choosing handcrafted products, you’re doing much more than just buying an object. You’re supporting a local economy, limiting your ecological impact, and promoting know-how that has often been handed down from generation to generation. Each handcrafted creation is unique, imbued with a story and a character that make it special.
Handmade jewelry, natural candles, personalized ceramics, local confectionery: these are just some of the ideas for original and charming gifts. In this way, you can show your loved ones that they deserve much more than a standardized product.

By choosing handicrafts, you’re sure to find gifts that will surprise and delight your loved ones. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

• For gourmets: Offer homemade jams, exceptional chocolates or even a local craft beer (a great way to support passionate brewers).
• For decor fans: Why not opt for a unique piece, such as a ceramic vase or engraved Christmas ornaments?
• For dreamers: A handmade notebook, a painting or an engraving by a local artist will always make an impression.

What if you went further afield? Instead of buying online or at a market, take the time to meet the artisans in their workshops. Nohô gives you the chance to meet artisans who will take the time to explain their trade, the tools they use, their knowledge… By visiting their creative spaces, you’ll discover not only their works, but also their manufacturing secrets. It’s a rich experience, both in human and cultural terms.
Some artisans even offer workshops where you can learn their skills. Imagine shaping your own pottery, making a scented candle or even brewing your own craft beer. These are unique moments that you can share with your loved ones or keep as a precious souvenir.

Christmas markets are also a great way to discover handcrafted creations. You can chat with the artisans, understand their passion and leave with gifts that have a real story behind them.

By choosing to support artisans, you’re doing much more than making a simple purchase. You’re helping to preserve crafts and traditions, while giving your loved ones gifts filled with emotion and authenticity.
