Slippers as a gift - sounds unspectacular at first. But hardly any other gift is used so often: every morning, every evening, every Sunday on the sofa. With a motif that suits the person receiving the gift, a practical souvenir becomes something personal. Here you will find occasions, ideas for all ages and tips on how to make two people happy with your partner look.
Why slippers are a good gift
Good gifts combine two things: they are useful and they show that you have put some thought into them. Slippers do both. They are needed, they keep you warm, and with the right animal or color they say, “I was thinking of you.” Handmade slippers also have a special value because each pair is a unique piece .
Suitable occasions
The classics are Christmas, St. Nicholas and birthdays. But other occasions are also suitable: starting daycare or school, moving into your first apartment, retirement, an anniversary or visiting your grandparents. If you're looking for a souvenir for a family, you can hardly go wrong with slippers for the children. And they're also a nice idea as a thank you for the childminder or the neighbor who always accepts the packages.
Gift ideas by age
For children
Children want one thing above all: their favorite animal. Whether it's a unicorn, lion, penguin or sloth - they like to wear a motif that excites them often and often. If you don't know which animal is popular, ask the parents discreetly. We show a large selection of our slippers for girls and boys, and for all unicorn fans there is a separate page with slippers with a unicorn.
For adults
For adults, it helps to take a look at preferences and hobbies: a cat for the cat lover, a frog for the gardener, a frog for the sweet tooth a strawberry. If you like it more reserved, you will be happy with a motif that is less noticeable. For ideas, check out our Women's Wool Felt Slippers and the Men's Felt Slippers.
For Grandparents
Many grandparents already have everything - but everyone wants warm feet. A pair that the grandchildren chose themselves is particularly beautiful. Add a picture you have painted yourself and the gift will become your favorite item.
The partner look: a gift for two
Many of our motifs are available in children's sizes and in sizes for adults. This creates a special gift idea: the Partner look. Grandma and granddaughter in the same fox, father and son in the same lion, big and little siblings in the same penguin. Such common slippers bring people together - at breakfast, while reading aloud or during a video call, when both proudly hold their feet into the camera.
Motifs that are available for young and old include unicorn, fox, cat, lion, tiger, husky, penguin, sloth, snail and ladybug. You can see all the animals in our collection funny slippers with an animal motif.
For couples
The partner look is also a loving idea for adults: two foxes, two cats or - with a wink - a lion and a snail. Such gifts tell a little story about the two people who wear them.
A gift for the whole family
You can also give gifts to everyone at Christmas or at a family celebration: everyone gets their own animal, or the whole family wears the same motif. This ensures a lot of laughter when unpacking - and a nice family photo. If you order multiple pairs, allow a little extra time so that all sizes and designs are in stock on time.
If you don't know the size
Size is the most common uncertainty when it comes to gifts. A look at the shoes in the hallway or an inconspicuous question to your partner or parents often helps. For children, you can measure the inner length of a well-fitting shoe. If you're still in doubt, give us a call - we'll be happy to help you choose.
A personal touch
What makes a gift special is often the little story behind it. Write on a card why you chose this particular animal - because grandma loves cats, because the grandson wants to know everything about penguins or because the frog goes so well with the gardening friend. This is how slippers become a memory.
Pack nicely
Slippers can be wonderfully packaged: wrapped in a cloth, in a fabric bag or, in the classic way, in wrapping paper. If you like, you can put a little surprise inside - a pair of wool socks, a bar of chocolate or, for children, a small cuddly toy with a matching motif.
Frequently asked questions about slippers as a gift
Are slippers too simple a gift?
Not if they are chosen carefully. A handmade pair with a matching motif shows that you've put thought into it - and they'll be used every day.
Which motif is appropriate if I don't know the person well?
Timeless animals like a cat or hedgehog or a floral motif like the daisy are a good choice for almost every taste.
What should I get someone who already has slippers has?
A second pair to change is practical because both pairs can air out better. Or you can choose a different cut, such as a boot for winter.
How early should I order for Christmas?
As early as possible, at the beginning of December at the latest. Because each pair is handmade, popular designs and sizes may be out of stock. In addition, there may be delays in the run-up to Christmas due to increased shipping volumes. For deliveries outside Europe (18-30 days) and to the USA (21-33 days), order by November 15th at the latest.
Can I buy two pairs in a partner look in one order?
Yes, just add both sizes of the same motif to the shopping cart. Not every motif is available in all cuts - if in doubt, ask us.
Finding the right gift
Browse through our motifs and choose the animal that best suits the person receiving the gift - or two pairs for a partner look. If you have any questions, we will be happy to help you.
