Up to CHF 50

A good gift has nothing to do with the price. It has to do with attentiveness. With the ability to choose something that suits the person receiving it. Tibetan objects have the particular advantage that even small pieces carry a great deal of meaning. A prayer mala of rudraksha seeds, a small dorje pendant, a bundle of hand-rolled incense sticks. None of these costs much. All of them carry a history that reaches far beyond the purchase price.

Here are our suggestions for meaningful gifts up to CHF 50:

Incense sticks and loose incense are among the most accessible and at the same time most effective gifts from the Tibetan tradition. A set of hand-rolled incense sticks made from natural resins and herbs brings a different quality into a room at once. For people who meditate, practise yoga or simply enjoy natural scents.

Prayer malas in wood, stone or seed are another good gift in this price range. A mala in rosewood or rudraksha seed is handmade, meaningful and used every day. It also suits people who do not meditate, as an unusual bracelet.

Small pieces of jewellery such as bracelets with Tibetan symbols or simple pendants in brass and silver are colourful, personal and unmistakably Tibetan in character. They suit any occasion and any person.

At tibet-markets.ch you will find a carefully chosen selection of Tibetan pieces up to CHF 50, all handmade and made with the care every gift deserves.
