More than just a gift: How to give the gift of connection this Christmas
Let's be honest: How many times have you sat helplessly in front of your screen, hunting for the perfect Christmas present? You search for ideas for your girlfriend, your husband, your parents, your best friend? And yet, in the end, a gift card, perfume, or a pair of socks ends up in your shopping cart.
Gifts that are well-intentioned, but often don't express what we truly want to say: "You are important to me." What if this year we gave something that lasts? Something that doesn't get consumed, but grows?
Our vision at the Museum of Values is to strengthen interpersonal connections. We believe the most valuable gifts are those that bring us closer together.
Forget the checklist – give a micro-adventure
Imagine a gift that doesn't gather dust on a shelf, but instead becomes a companion in everyday life. A small box that invites you and your loved ones to dare to think new thoughts and start conversations you'd otherwise never have time for. A gift that doesn't close off your world, but expands it.
This is precisely the idea behind our Action Cards. It's more than a card game—it's an invitation.
Our Action Cards: What are they?
The Action Cards are 35 beautifully designed cards that inspire you and those around you to embark on small, yet meaningful adventures in your everyday life. Each card is dedicated to a value and poses a question or task that encourages you to experience that value from a new perspective. It's the perfect small Christmas gift that has a big impact.
One gift idea, endless possibilities
Whether it's the perfect Christmas gift for men who already have everything, a special gift for women who love originality, or cool Secret Santa gifts for employees – here are a few ideas that will make Action Cards the perfect answer:
Idea 1: The special Advent calendar
Instead of chocolate: How about an Advent calendar for your partner, or the whole family, that presents a new, inspiring challenge each day? Use the 24 days of December to share 24 moments together. A wonderful idea for a couple's Advent calendar that truly connects.
Idea 2: The Christmas present for parents
What do you give to the people who have given you everything? Time and attention. These cards are a loving invitation to have new conversations with your parents and create new memories together. The ideal gift for mom and dad.
Idea 3: The Secret Santa gift that will be remembered
Whether for colleagues or friends, our cards are the perfect Secret Santa gift. They're personal without being too personal, thought-provoking, and guaranteed to spark conversation. A unique alternative to the usual Christmas treats.
The true power of giving
Giving is a deeply human act that goes far beyond the material. If you'd like to delve deeper into the fascinating psychology behind it, we recommend the article The Power of Gifting (external link).
Our work and the development of such tools would not be possible without strong partners. We are proud to work with organizations like The Art of Embodying Change GmbH , which share our vision.
Are you ready to give something unforgettable this year?
Make this Christmas special. Give moments, not things. Give questions, not answers. Give connection.
