Together with you, owner Janou Bode looks for a suitable beautiful fragrance, in a personal fragrance consultation. She explains that the perfumes are all unisex, so can be used by men and women. "We sell perfumes with a story. And that for almost any budget, for example we already have natural hand soaps for the price of a bunch of flowers. Can't choose from all that beauty? Then give a gift certificate so your loved one can come pick out something beautiful for themselves in the boutique later."

They also have a variety of gift items and gadgets, such as socks, book paper in passe-partouts, scented blocks, tableware and tinned soaps.

During the holidays, there is nothing more fun than playing a fun board game before or after dinner. At 4 Your Games, you'll find the finest games to give as gifts. Especially family games that don't last too long are in demand, according to owner Maico Paschold, whose store is full of board games. "Games that last about an hour are very popular. Games are hot and especially in the December month - everyone sits in front of a screen a lot for work, but we as humans are companions, so we like to play a game together." Maico calls the board game "The Quest for El Dorado," a true adventure family game. Or 'Time to Time,' a dice game. Also popular is 'Wonder Woods,' a game with a bluff element. "The selection of games is really gigantic, there is something for everyone in the store," says Dr. K. K., who is a member of the team.
