Christmas and Kochi and the multicultural gifting practices
Christmas in Kochi is the colourful, joyful festival of all. We can call it as a “destination Christmas Celebrations” of many around the world. From the largest Christmas tree to the tall Pappanji, Kochiites have painted Christmas celebrations in a special style. It has its own unique Christmas icons, food, gift and celebration. A multicultural gifting exercise that evolved for years and it is also a Kochi Special Christmas Gifting. There is something – an invisible magical thread that pulls you to be there in Fort Kochi during Christmas and New Year celebrations.
We feel blessed to be located in Kochi, there are thousand reasons you can fall in love with this small village city. Living here is like you can have small pieces of all the cakes displayed in confectionary shop. Enjoy the beach, the loud packed beach on one side and heritage buildings on the other. Many prefer walking through the streets, where experience the architecture marvel of Portuguese, Dutch, French and British. Also history is live and also it is up to date with fashion and live with youth. Along with beach you can enjoy mountains and waterfall in the same district.
More than all these the vibrant people of Kochi make it a unique place to be in the world map. “Always welcome to all” mind set makes it a place for friendly gatherings and vacations.
Kochi inspired Christmas Décor and Gift Collection
Christmas in Kochi has a vital marking in historic records, Pedro Álvares Cabral, a Portugese noble man and navigator, arrived in Kochi in 1500 and it was a Christmas Eve. And Kochi became the axis of Christmas celebrations in India and beyond. The Christmas in Kochi has a touch of European Culture and colours.
The casual talk about 2025 Christmas Gift collection made we think of Kochi, its Christmas and soulful celebration of colours, culture and cuisines. We are walking beside the heritage buildings and the Chinese nets. While we look at the layers deeply it unveils the history of love, togetherness and friendship. It reminds of bitter past as well.
Colonial design architecture and its mingling make the city special to its core. The communal harmony of people here is evident in all corners. In addition to that is the repeated global visitors, they keep coming every year to feel the city feel Christmas and celebrate New Year. For this reason we felt the thought to have a collection in Kochi is name is a source of pride.
Tradition on a tray – Inspired from the Portuguese “Consoada”
It is surprising to see the tradition of “Portuguese Consoada” is practiced here in a sweet way. It is about sharing sweets and savouries with friends and family. This is a practice of the Luso- Indian communities. And they strongly believe it’s a time for giving, sharing and spend time together. Now everyone in Kerala practice this tradition for Christmas. The spirit of Christmas is sharing and giving and get happier. The tradition involves making sweets like cookies, matroni, marzipan etc…
The Consoada Tray stirred our hearts—it became the foundation of it all. We set out to craft a tray that could serve in countless beautiful ways. Like as a gift, as a table organizer as a decorative pot holder. After all, when it is Christmas, every corner should look beautiful and inviting. We line the tray with fine cotton that you can easily remove and wash. Our artisans hand-embroider the cotton liner with the colors and charm of Christmas in Kochi.
Heat Insulation Pads for Tables – A Fine Christmas Gift for your favorite host
Christmas is about food, all over the world it is celebrated with delightful home cooked food. To complete that table we created hot pot holders. It is padded with coir filling to protect the table and kitchen counters. The hot pads are embroidered and printed with designs to turn the holiday mood on. It is a perfect gift for the hosting family.

Baskets
Our Christmas collection is never complete with our baskets, baskets for gifting, baskets as gifts all got a makeover for Christmas. A bright Christmas basket collection waits in our place; these are hand woven so you will have to plan in advance to get it on time.
We took Kochi for inspiration for many reasons. But the greatest of all was the friendship and togetherness that people of Kochi nurture here. They accept everyone with open hands and minds and people came here earlier never came to conquer, they came for trade. So the emotion was more about friendship caring and giving. That has a strong influence to the culture and many communities from different parts of the globe harmoniously live here.
As Christmas is celebrated all over the world we thought of making that celebration more meaningful. How we can accept others and their culture without hindrance and celebrate everything for happiness is our message with Christmas Collection 2025.
