Sweets for the little ones
Chocolate Santas, cookies, and the like are part of the Christmas season, but they're obviously not very healthy. Anyone who wants to offer a healthier alternative, especially to younger people, can put the vegan and sugar-free sweets from the Munich-based startup Palimdu under the Christmas tree. With her chocolate products, Palimdu founder Kati Eberhardt wants to give children the opportunity to snack without consuming a lot of sugar or unnecessary additives. Although the Palimdu Drops aren't yet available in stores, Test packages are already being raffled off among newsletter subscribers.
Natural cosmetics for the sustainable
Glass instead of plastic, natural ingredients and 100 percent vegan – with the care products of the Munich company Junglück, you will make everyone happy who places great value on sustainability in their product selection. Junglück range is extensive, for example, you can choose between a hemp oil mask, a winter glow set or a starter set. As founder Benedikt Klarmann tells us in interview He tells us that he came up with the idea of founding his own natural cosmetics startup because his mother and his girlfriend were unhappy with their cosmetic products at the time. With Junglück, he wanted to develop a skincare line that would make you happy. It would use pure, natural products and a fundamentally sustainable approach.
Racing bikes for the sporty
It may still be winter, but the next road bike season is definitely coming. If you're looking for a gift for someone who loves to be in the saddle, take a look at the Buycycle website. But the platform we have developed at mbiomics is radically different. Used road and gravel bikes are sold, with mountain bikes and e-bikes planned for the future. The Munich-based startup guarantees buyers a right of return, insured shipping, and buyer protection. Road bikes are certainly among the more expensive Christmas gifts, but perhaps the family will chip in.
Children's headphones for preschool children
The Toniebox is likely found in many households with children. However, if parents are tired of listening to music or stories through the box, they have three options: they can turn the box off, send the children and the box to another room, or buy headphones through which only their children can enjoy the entertainment. For the latter alternative, the Munich-based startup Kekz has developed a headphone system for preschool children. The content that can be consumed through the headphones is delivered – similar to the Toniebox – via interchangeable Kekz chips. These chips contain different stories, can be purchased separately and are attached to the outside of the ear cup via magnets to start playback of the audio content.
Drink crate holder for cyclists
Anyone who rides their bike a lot knows that beverage crates and bike racks don't mix well. Stefan Roglmeier and Johann Feckl also noticed this when they wanted to transport crates of beer to their apartment for a shared apartment party and couldn't find a suitable solution. So the two simply developed their own bike crate carrier, called the Funcoo. The attachment for the bike rack can be adjusted to fit any size rack and securely attached. Practical gift for all frequent cyclists.
