Lebanese families are spread across the world, from Paris and Montreal to Sydney, São Paulo and Dubai. Wherever they settle, one thing stays the same: a deep attachment to home. A gift that carries a piece of Lebanon, its cedar, its cities or its language, means more to someone abroad than almost anything bought where they live.
Here are handmade gift ideas for Lebanese abroad, and for anyone who loves Lebanon.
The cedar is the symbol every Lebanese recognizes instantly. It works on almost any piece: a large wall art piece for the living room, an engraved coaster set, a magnet, a keychain or a Christmas ornament. See Wall Art, Coasters and Small Gifts & Accessories.
A laser-cut map or skyline of Beirut, Byblos, Tripoli, Zahle, Saida, or the family’s home village is a gift that starts conversations. Add the village’s coordinates or the family name to make it unique. See Maps & City Skylines.
For families raising children abroad, Arabic on the wall keeps the language present at home. Choose a proverb, a blessing, a line of poetry or a simple word like “Beity” (my home). See Calligraphy & Quotes.
An old family photo, a grandparent’s portrait or the family house in the village, engraved onto wood, becomes a keepsake for the next generation. See Photo Engravings.
Visiting Lebanon for the summer or the holidays? Laser-cut pieces are light and flat, which makes them easy to pack as gifts for friends and colleagues abroad. Engraved bookmarks, keychains, magnets and coasters are perfect for this. See Small Gifts & Accessories.
November 22 is a natural moment to send a piece of home: a cedar wall piece, a flag-inspired coaster set, or a map of Lebanon for a child growing up abroad.
You can order online and have the piece delivered to family in Lebanon, or contact us to arrange delivery abroad or pickup by someone travelling. For large or fragile pieces, ask us about packaging before ordering.
