December 12, 2021 - Need something unique this Christmas? A look a 10 Vukovar Christmas gifts you can buy online.
Christmas shopping – a favourite festive activity or just fa-la-la-stressful? Maybe it depends on the person, the place, and the weather. In any case, shopping for your loved ones online makes things significantly easier. Whether its clothes, gadgets, knickknacks, snacks and sweets, toys… I mean, you could buy a house online these days. In a world of choice, however, analysis paralysis sets in quickly. You started browsing mugs, went over lamps and rugs, somehow ended up in the stationery department. There needs to be a better way.
Why not make your presents special and unique in a different way? Today we will help you help the local economy of one of the most beautiful yet sometimes overlooked places in Croatia. In a bid to keep things developing and implement some new strategies, Paul Bradbury of TCN officially proposed the idea of the Vukovar Card and presented an itinerary for your visit.

The sweet tooth is strong with this one. Of course, cake is always a good idea, but nothing beats festive cakes in green and red, gold, filled with delicious chocolate, vanilla, fruit, whatever your heart desires. The shop’s offer includes cake pops, cupcakes, a dozen other little wonders. And a partridge in a pear tree.
If you decide to bake yourself, why not get some homemade honey? Even if it’s just for tea, make sure that you enjoy this top product. The Štalmajer family keep their bees and produce the finest honey and beeswax products like beautiful advent candle sets and single candles, propolis, pollen powder, and more.

On top of all that, they offer unique souvenirs, business gifts and packages for different occasions. So give them a call or send a message and see what they can put together.
And now for those who feel like they lack protein. Presents or Christmas dinner – you pick. Mesnice Bođirković is an old local butcher’s shop where you know for sure that you’ll find the finest and freshest cuts of meat. That is not the main reason you should visit their website, though. It’s the sausages with the perfect balance of spices, smoked meats, ćevapi and čvarci. The best of Slavonia, all in one place.
