New Year's holidays are the perfect occasion to give something warm, heartfelt and truly useful. Today, it is not just things that matter, but emotions, impressions and the care that your loved ones feel. We have compiled a list of the top 10 gifts that will delight adults, children and those who are always cold in winter. Plus, there are great holiday deals from Visit Ukraine to make your gifts even more enjoyable.


Tours in Ukraine


Tours in Ukraine are the perfect holiday gift. The Carpathians, Christmas markets, gastronomic routes, spa tours, winter adventures — there is something for every taste and budget.


AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:

−10% on all Visit Ukraine tours with the promo code TOURMYKOLAI (until 8 December inclusive).


Such a gift gives more than just emotions — it creates memories that will last for years.


And when you book a hotel or buy tickets on the Visit Ukraine portal, you will receive a branded thermos mug as a gift!




Warm clothing


If you have loved ones who wrap themselves in blankets all winter long, this is the perfect gift.


The Visit Ukraine store has warm hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, and scarves — stylish, high-quality, and versatile.


The promo code MERCHMYKOLAI gives you −20% off all merchandise. Valid until 8 December inclusive.

Electric blanket or electric pillow


A great option for people who are always cold. Modern models are safe, heat up quickly and relax muscles. Especially good for those who work at a computer or live in a cold flat.


Super warm winter blanket


A gift with a ‘WOW’ effect. A large, soft, cosy blanket is a versatile item for all ages. And heated models turn winter evenings into the perfect comfort zone.


Certificate for spa, massage or relaxation treatments


After a difficult year, people especially need rest. Spa rituals, saunas, massages, baths — all of this helps to recover, relieve stress and start the new year in good shape. You can gently hint that your loved ones deserve some pampering.


Power bank or charging station


In the current circumstances that Ukraine is experiencing, a power bank or charging station will be a truly useful gift for your loved ones and their electrical devices.


A set of scented candles or diffusers


Scents create mood: pine needles, vanilla, cinnamon, mandarin — all this fills the house with a festive atmosphere. Scented candles are the perfect gift for your home, partner, friend, mum and colleagues.


Gift set from yourself


Now you will receive the perfect option for giving an emotional and non-trivial gift — put it together yourself (for example):


— New Year's chocolate;

— jam;

— soft socks;

— candle;

— tea mix;

— postcard.


Put it all in a festive box and give it to your loved ones with confidence! By the way, you can add Visit Ukraine merchandise at a discount to such a set — and you will have the perfect gift!


Tech for comfort


Modern technology creates cosiness in the home and makes winter comfortable. A humidifier helps you get through the heating season, smart lamps set the New Year mood, and compact heaters save the day in particularly cold rooms.


In addition, in case of a power outage, you should also consider flashlights or battery-powered candles (perhaps a set) as gifts.


And don't forget! The most valuable gifts are care, warmth, and emotions 🎁 And thanks to holiday discounts from Visit Ukraine, giving gifts has become even easier:


−10% on all tours with the promo code TOURMYKOLAI (until 8 December).

−20% on merchandise with the promo code MERCHMYKOLAI (until 8 December).

A free thermos mug when you buy tickets or book a hotel.




Give love, impressions and comfort — and let the New Year holidays be truly magical!


Reminder! Demand for winter trips to the Carpathians is growing every day, and prices are changing rapidly depending on the location and demand for the holidays. Tourist regions are already almost full, and holidays in the mountains are becoming more expensive, especially in the top destinations. Find out about current prices, booking details and why Bukovel sets the highest standards.
