Yogagang Christmas Present Guide
Christmas is right around the corner, and we decided to put together a little present guide focusing mainly on local brands that are worth your support.
These are all things that we would love to receive, or we use and swear by them!
Dive with us into the real Christmas spirit with presents that all your loved ones will adore.
Selfcare For your mother
Give your mom or your friend the most important thing, time for themselves. After such a stressful time as this lockdown was, everyone deserves a self-care day.
YOGAGANG'S special recommendation is Silk ferries - is a beauty concept studio in the Prague city center. They only use organic cosmetics and provide the best care you can imagine. You will walk out of there, feeling like a whole new person. For non-toxic skincare and beauty, our forever fav is the online shop Naqed beauty and Líčírna Organics.
Perfume for a friend with a style
A great perfume is always a good idea. Our favorite brand of perfumes and candles must be Byredo (pssst, secret tip, Byredo has now candle collaboration in Ikea, and the candles are great). Buy someone their new signature smell in Ingredients store, another beautiful concept store in Prague. Don't miss the LeLabo section. Essential oils can genuinely change your mood; get your friend an aroma lamp or oils from doTerra.
Exceptional Wine and Liquor for your grandparents
I mean, who doesn't like to drink a little bit during Christmas. We recommend natural wines from Wine geek. They sell the best wines without any chemistry, and also they just opened a new store in the Letná district! And if you don't drink alcohol, try Euphoria, a fermented birch sap.
If your family members like something stronger, Žufánek is the way to go!
Maybe your grandpa loves the taste of Rum, but they don't want to consume alcohol, well then Vassa non-alcoholic Rum is a great alternative!
The latest fashion for all your friends
The "soft gifts" used to be hated, but now, we love getting fashion pieces! Yogagang recommends good quality basics; the best are Czech made and sustainable! Lingerie perhaps is an excellent gift for you and your partner as well. We choose some local brands that we think are worth buying something from. LNKrules beautiful handmade lingerie. Another great brand is Slovakian Buffet clothing, with good quality materials. And a super stylish timeless pieces from Anna Rekua.
Books for a friend or colleague
A book is always a great present. Get to Booktherapy, and you will never choose the wrong one! Everything from design books to city guides.
Everyone needs a cookbook in their life. And what about a beautiful vegan cookbook, full of great recipes. Blablabla cookbook is excellent for all your plant-based friends. And the last "book" that will help everyone reach their goals and be organized in 2021 is Doller, the best motivational planner!
Technology for your father
Min are Czech made sustainable wireless charger that will make our life easier. Oura ring for anyone who always aspires to become a better version of themselves. It tracks your breathing, sleeping, and easily transfers the data into your phone.
Another gadget that your father will fall in love with is Click and Grow - your own little farm, full of microgreens and veggies!
Accessories for a loved one
A beautiful piece of jewelry or a handbag is always a nice gift for any woman in your life. We choose two Czech designers. For a bigger, more expensive gift, you can go with a beautiful ring from 27 jewelry. A bit more affordable but still as pretty option is jewelry from Niika.
Czech bag brand? Yes, we a cool one! PBG Studio offers a variety of timeless leather bags that will compliment anyone's wardrobe!
Workout clothes for gym and yoga lovers
Everyone who loves sport also definitely loves workout clothes. That's a rule. Make your friend happy with a new sustainable set from Circlle or YG fav Alo Yoga or RVCA; their clothes will look cute on the mat and then on a brunch with your friends.
What about the yoga mat? Off-course our specially designed YG mat is the number one option! Because working out on good quality non-slippery yoga mat changes the game.
Subscriptions for anyone who loves to receive gifts 12 times a year
Giving a subscription is an excellent idea because the person will receive their gift every month all year long.

Art for a family friend
Buying someone a piece of art is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give. Paintings from Antonie Stanová has been all over social media lately, and well, we aren't surprised.
