Holiday Skincare Gift Ideas and Body Care Guide

The holidays are the most wonderful time of the year. In Greece, it’s a special time to celebrate our heritage with traditions like visiting friends and family, cooking festive meals, and sharing special gifts with loved ones. In our case, holiday skincare gift sets.

This year, we celebrate the holidays with the celebration of Karavakia, an iconic Greek island holiday tradition. Karavakia, also known as the Christmas Boats or boats of hope, are decorated boats that fill the harbor and household windows all season long. Family and friends gather to decorate miniature wooden boats to carry while caroling, while the harbors are filled with light, color, and love. 


All of this ties back to our rich connection with the sea. Since ancient times, Greek sailors left home on long journeys, and karavakia has become a way to celebrate and welcome them back during the holidays. This symbol of hope—materialized through boats decorated with lights and ornaments—unites us all as we sail toward a bright new year.     


Come sail away with us as we explore our heritage in what makes us the iconic Greek Natural Beauty brand you know and love. Discover potent and powerful Greek botanicals in the best holiday skincare sets and beauty bundles.
