"Das kleine Weihnachten" is a warm-hearted initiative by the three Mainz designers Martina Miocevic, Silke Philipps-Deters and Christian Voigt, who have moved closer together - at least in their minds - during the coronavirus period to give the Advent season that certain little something with a dose of creativity....
The fact that everything turned out differently than expected in 2020 is a sad fact that does not stop at Christmas either: in mid-November, it seems almost utopian to be able to get together with all your loved ones and relatives, as was traditionally the case in previous Advent seasons. Mulled wine at the Christmas market? Rather not. Choir singing? Hardly. A merry gathering of the extended family? Not necessarily imaginable either...
Despite this, Martina Miocevic, Silke Philipps-Deters and Christian Voigt designed "The Little Christmas", a culinary, Christmas gift box that allows you to pause, enjoy and reflect, even with the hygiene distance. The lovingly packaged design box is equally suitable as a company gift for colleagues and employees, as well as for family and friends who will be delighted to receive a Christmas design greeting.
The box contains top-quality ingredients from regional producers: a bottle of red wine, a portion of pasta from a German pasta manufacturer with fresh tomato and basil pesto from a regional gourmet workshop, two fortune cookies as a "greeting of hope from the future", as the designers write. The package is rounded off with candlelight, place mats and a greeting card.
Incidentally, two or more boxes are also a great way to celebrate together - after all, feasting and toasting together can easily be done digitally. And community, as the three initiators of the project emphasize, is very important to them: "It is important that we are together despite the distance, that we live community. That's why 'Das kleine Weihnachten' also thinks of those who are sometimes left out. For every box sold, one euro goes to the German Children's Fund to support disadvantaged children with a warm meal."
