It's that time again: you can make an advent calendar. Still lacking ideas for the contents? In this article, I'll show you our favourite beauty treasures from Italy.
December is fast approaching! Perhaps you're already looking forward to the lovely tradition of the Advent calendar. But even more fun than opening them is making them! Maybe there's an Italy fan in your circle of friends or family? We have great products in our shop that are 100 per cent made in Italy. Maybe there is a product or two that you can use for your advent calendar.
Hair care products from Davines
Davines is a family business that was once founded in Parma and is now particularly popular with hairdressers. Hair masks such as "The Renaissance Circle" are the ideal size for advent calendars and come in really stylish packaging. The mask is designed to provide damaged hair with much-needed nutrients. The "Let It Go Circle" variant not only nourishes the hair, but also cares for the recipient's scalp. Hair, on the other hand, can look forward to an extra dose of moisture with "The Quick Fix Circle" mask.
A beautiful hand soap from Nesti Dante
A beautifully packaged and great-smelling soap can also make a great gift. The vegan soaps from Nesti Dante do not contain any harmful ingredients such as parabens or mineral oils and are instead made from vegetable oils. The brand from Florence even prints Italian cities and regions on the sustainably produced packaging, such as Portofino, Tuscany or Lake Como. There's no better way to warm up in cold December!

Skin care products from Acqua alle Rose
The name already gives it away: Acqua alle Rose smells of roses! According to the manufacturer, 95 per cent of the cleansing water for the face consists of ingredients of natural origin, including rose extracts. The product is said to provide freshness and prevent redness. The scrub contains Rosa Canina wild rose seeds and is said to remove dirt and dead skin cells. This stimulates skin renewal and stimulates cell formation. The brand's face wipes are a make-up remover all-rounder: they are designed to remove make-up from the face, lips and eyes.
BioNike for sensitive skin
The Bionike brand was founded in 1930 as a pharmaceutical company in Milan. Today, Bionike is one of the market leaders for derma cosmetics in Italy. In our shop, you will find a colourful range of different cosmetics that are designed to meet the needs of sensitive skin.
Parfume from Salvatore Ferragamo
If you want it to smell nice, the Italian brand Salvatore Ferragamo comes into question: the brand named after the designer is primarily known for its shoe collection, but also sells fragrances. The "Aqua Essenziale Colonia", for example, is said to smell of lavender and orange blossom. "Signorina Eriosa" contains orange blossom, blackberry and vanilla. Salvatore Ferragamo advertises its "Incanto Shine" fragrance as floral and fruity: Ingredients include pineapple, passionflower, peach, peony and musk.
Toothpaste from Marvis
A lot of snacking goes on during the festive season. What could be better than a beautifully packaged toothpaste? The Marvis brand is a cult favourite in Italy. The toothpastes combine the typical mint flavour with somewhat unusual fragrances such as ginger, cinnamon or matcha green tea. The retro design of the dental care products is unique.
Have fun crafting!
