If you are like us, travelers at heart and soul, this year might already feel long to you. Due to all the restrictions, we cannot travel and discover new distances. That is why this year, the approaching date of Christmas may inevitably scare us. Previously, choosing gifts for travelers was quite easy – you solved it with a plane ticket, a train ticket, a guidebook for the destination, or a new travel gadget. But what to give travelers this year when it is uncertain when and where they will be able to go? You can remember scents even for years – give fragrant pepper For most travelers, memories are stored not only in photographs and souvenirs from trips but also in scents. Surely it has happened to you more than once that a certain scent brought you back to a specific place. At .pepper..field, for example, thanks to the scent of Kampot pepper we constantly return to all our journeys to sunny Cambodia and remember the morning rays that pleasantly warmed our faces, the scent of pepper fields, and the farming family from whom we buy Kampot pepper and who put a pinch of sunshine and lots of love into every hand-picked peppercorn. Taste buds will rejoice with Kampot pepper for every traveler Beautiful memories are often linked with a scent or a gastronomic experience. Perhaps this year we should create new memories in the family circle with the scent of distant places. What if this Christmas you try cooking some oriental or exotic dishes? Getting exotic ingredients today is just two clicks away. The crown of your culinary art will be added by our sun-scented Kampot pepper. So if you are wondering what to give your adventurers, give them one of our pepper gift sets as a Christmas gift and then just watch with a wink how smiles spread across their faces and beautiful new memories form in their minds.

Christmas is among the most beautiful moments of the entire year, when the hectic pace slows down to a minimum, people start to smile more and enjoy those unique moments scented with purple... And newly also with pepper. However, the Christmas season also belongs to good deeds. Some decide to save the life of the Christmas carp, others regularly contribute to charity, and some put under the tree such gifts that will please not only the recipient but also help those from whom they were purchased. And this is exactly the story of our pepper from .pepper..field. Pepper grown by Cambodian farmers whose lives are far from as simple as ours Due to the troubled past of the country, Cambodia is struggling with socio-economic problems, which make it difficult for local residents to meet basic needs. There is a lack of money for adequate healthcare, it is often a problem to secure basic food, and if something is saved, most parents invest these funds into the education of their children. We know Cambodia like the back of our hands, our friends live here and we regularly return. Therefore, we know very well how hard life is for the locals and this is also the reason why we try so hard to help them. You can also help us improve this situation How? Just purchase one of the products we offer, which guarantees that you have bought a piece of distant Cambodia that we ourselves have bought under fair conditions from the people behind whose houses this delicate pepper grew and who harvested it with their own hands. Thanks to this, you can bring joy not only to the person you give the pepper to, for example in a beautiful gift box with glass tubes, but also to one of these farming families living under the peaks of the Bokor Mountains. Together with .pepper..field you can fulfill their dreams of better tomorrows and you can say that you have done at least one good deed during this Christmas. Thank you for your support!

Just as the entire past year was unusual, this year's Christmas will most likely be different as well. There are uncertainties hanging over the Advent concerts, midnight masses, and most likely we won't even get to experience the traditional Christmas markets where you always had a chance to buy a small gift for your loved ones. This year, gift shopping will take place more than ever online, which can be problematic for some. Many people prefer to choose gifts in traditional brick-and-mortar stores, especially when these gifts, beyond their practical value, also bring something extra. They are aesthetic and in many cases bring the most joy. Gifts with the Scent of Distant Lands and Noble Origin However, on the internet, you can also find such a  Christmas gift that is not only practical but also something more than just soulless electronics or another piece of clothing. .pepper..field offers you the opportunity to give a unique experience brought all the way from distant Cambodia, which your beloved person can enjoy every time they start cooking. Who you give our Kampot pepper to is entirely up to your decision. However, we will do everything to make it a stylish gift, wrapped so that the recipient knows what a precious treasure they have received. We pack the pepper into beautiful glass test tubes and add Grinder made by Czech craftsmen with the best grinding mechanism available. Kampot Pepper Will Bring Joy to Both Professionals and Amateurs in the Kitchen The entire gift Package is not only intended for people for whom cooking is a lifelong passion. Our pepper will delight experienced chefs, helping them perfect their culinary art, but also bold explorers who are not afraid of new experiences and refined flavors. Kampot pepper is not just any spice; it is pepper of unparalleled quality worldwide. We personally select it from farmers living in Cambodia and ensure they receive fair compensation for their work. You can taste the fruits of their labor yourself. Just choose some of the Package offered by .pepper..field. This Christmas will be scented not only with cinnamon and orange but also with the peppery aroma of exotic distant lands.

Have you spent too much time at home this year thanks to all the restrictions? And did you realize what a wonderful woman you have at home? Have you noticed how kind your mother is, who helped you with the children when the schools closed this year? How great your girlfriend is simply because she is? What kind of gift should you choose for a woman who had more worries at home than ever before?  Women deserve to be pampered – a mother-in-law with a quality perfume, a wife with beautiful lingerie, and a sister with a good book to relax with. Women also love luxurious and high-quality things. And once they receive a gift, they want it to be obvious that you care about them. We can fulfill all that at .pepper..field and we promise you that any woman will succumb to the intoxicating scent of Kampot pepper! What gifts do women appreciate the most? 1. Nicely wrapped  Did you know that most women think you can tell how much you care about them by the gift? And they are right! All our gift sets with Kampot pepper are always hand-wrapped in luxurious silk paper with a bow and precise details that even your woman wouldn't wrap better (but don’t tell her). We will wrap your gift so perfectly, with proper care and love, that your woman will suspect you did something. 2. Something no other woman gets Let her engrave for free her name on our wooden gift box – you tell her this gift set is only for her and no one else. She will realize how carefully and thoughtfully you had to choose the gift and that you didn’t buy it last minute in a supermarket, where it would be hard to engrave her name or a personal dedication on the wood. Do you have your own phrase or motto between you? We will burn anything into any gift set, as long as it comes from the heart! 3. Gifts that help Women are natural caregivers. If they receive a gift that, thanks to your generosity, also helped in a beautiful country like Cambodia and was hand-packaged in the Czech Republic by small companies, they will truly appreciate it. These fair-trade gifts express that we have a kind and loving person beside us who cares about us but also about other people around. 4. Something that makes us smile every day We saved the fact that Kampot pepper is an aphrodisiac for last. But if this miracle doesn’t work by chance, from our own experience, we know that cooking every day with Kampot pepper is something that puts a smile on our face – you can pair different peppers with dishes, guess which one you used, or try new combinations in the evening – for example, the favorite gin and tonic with red Kampot pepper!

Our greatest inspiration for writing this article are our grandmothers and grandfathers, whose initial enthusiasm for Kampot pepper we still remember today. Choosing a gift for grandma is never an easy matter. Although she appreciates everything, what kind of gift should you choose to be heartfelt and so precious that she can use it every day? A Gift for Grandma for Christmas Usually, we try to make grandma’s moments of relaxation more pleasant – we give her quality coffee, relaxing pillows, subscriptions to favorite crossword puzzles, a good book, or maybe a basket of delicacies. But can we also brighten the time she spends in the kitchen? Do you think you can still surprise her in the kitchen even after so many years? Definitely yes! We remember it like it was yesterday when our grandmothers unwrapped a set with a grinder and small test tubes with Kampot pepper – and the enthusiasm was more than genuine. We are still delighted when we spot one of our first pepper grinders on their counter and when they call us to say their favorite type of pepper has run out. They get excited about every new product of ours and eagerly ask how to use it! TIP: Try giving grandma one of our pepper chocolates in collaboration with HERUFEK chocolate factory – so moments with pepper will also be associated with moments when she enjoys good coffee and treats herself to her favorite book or solves crossword puzzles! A Gift for Grandpa for Christmas Grandpas are usually interested in what good food they have on their plate. Maybe your grandpa won’t be dazzled by a beautifully wrapped gift set with personal engraving, but what he will definitely appreciate is a quality solid wood Czech Grinder. A proper manly tool is a piece of honest Czech craftsmanship that every grandpa will surely appreciate for Christmas more than just with a grateful purr. TIP: For demanding grandpas, we recommend for Christmas an acacia Grinder, which is truly crafted with precision. This Grinder represents a real love for things that remain genuine even in today’s world. And grandpa or your parents will really appreciate it for Christmas. If you want to please twice as much, give your parents a luxurious pepper alcohol for shared evenings, which they can sip together with grandma in small sips during festive moments.

You may have already been convinced that we have beautiful gifts with Kampot pepper. This Christmas, however, we faced a big challenge – what to bring to our beloved customers who already know us, pepper with us, and want to find us under the Christmas tree again this year? How will we surprise them? Delicious butters with pepper First, we got acquainted with Barenuts – Czech producers of 100% natural vegan nut butters – and it was love at first sight! Together, we created 5 flavors that are an absolute delicacy this Christmas and at the same time a delicious gift for all vegans. Besides red Kampot pepper, they mainly contain authentic flavors of Cambodia – whether creamy cashew nuts, which are so typical for this country, or freeze-dried mango, whose trees you can find in most Cambodian yards, or fragrant coconut, which will transport you to a pristine beach. Chocolate with a story Then fate brought us together with HERUFEK chocolate, which we fell in love with because it follows the same principles as we do – only the highest quality possible ingredients, directly from the grower, without added substances, and moreover with a fair trade label in organic form. The highest quality chocolate as a Christmas gift? What if it comes with the world’s best pepper? Give our white, milk, or dark chocolate bar and have a sweet Christmas that you will feel thanks to the pepper finish on your tongue for a long time! An ideal gift for gourmets but also for the whole family – our shared story with HERUFEK chocolate is depicted right on the packaging itself – who recognizes us running among the elephants? Also try Steiner & Kovarik’s chocolate balls, who haven’t been with us from the very beginning but whose collaboration we enjoy and look forward to even more! Pepper alcohol Luxury gin for Christmas, or selected beer specialties – it would be hard to find a more unique gift this year. Our limited .pepper..gin, which we produced with Landcraft in a quantity of 999 bottles, contains the most authentic elements from Cambodia. Did you miss it? No problem, there are still other types of pepper alcohol left and we keep inventing more for you! It’s truly a great gift for lovers of quality alcohol and also a perfect companion for Christmas holidays and New Year’s Eve, which you really deserve!

A gift for the boss, for colleagues, a Christmas gift for employees, but also for business partners or the most skilled reinforcements in the company. A corporate gift is a giant that many companies think about every year. This year, the novelty is that we send many gifts by mail thanks to closed branches and help directly with distribution to specific people. In which industries will you score with a gift set with Kampot pepper? A gift for healthcare workers We are increasingly occupying space in corporate gifts for healthcare workers – from dental technicians to healthcare facilities. This year, we also sent several packages with Kampot pepper as a gift to nurses in hospitals – just for fun, to brighten their day for their hard work. Give an original gift with a glass test tube that will cheer up the nurse and the doctor by finally having something nice in the tube! A gift for construction workers  Construction companies love us – why? We don’t really know, but we think that these companies have proper strong men who simply and well appreciate a gift for a real man. Such Kampot pepper is actually a basic building material for every good meal! A gift for IT Many companies that regularly order our gifts are IT companies – we have corporate gifts for IT down pat! Many of them worked from home this year, and quality cooking is appreciated more than ever. A gift for designers  Our Christmas gifts are sought after, for example, by Czech companies focusing on the production and sale of designer lamps and other equipment for companies or households and appreciate when the gift is not only made of quality materials but also beautifully designed, carefully wrapped, and precisely prepared. A gift for carriers Our work is also appreciated by transport sectors that value the connection between Cambodia and the Czech Republic and appreciate this international reach. A gift for personnel agencies  Here we are among the most popular gifts – thanks to the fact that personnel agencies highly value the connection of a quality product and a story that helps. They also like specific people for specific projects! A gift for mechanical engineers  It’s hard to say why we are popular specifically with various companies whose beautiful craft lies in the production of different parts for machines, but we are certainly glad about it. Again, we assume that we get into the hands of mainly male teams! And what about you, have you already thought of this year’s Christmas gift for colleagues you haven’t seen for a long time?

Vegetarian dishes need to be seasoned differently than meat-eaters are used to. You definitely can't go wrong with quality pepper, quite the opposite! It opens the door to tasty meatless dishes that will eventually make your mouth water as well. Here you can read our tips and reasons why our Kampot pepper should be the perfect gift for a vegetarian. Do you know why they don't eat meat? A person can become a vegetarian for health or dietary reasons, or simply because they care about others – including animals. So if you are looking for a gift for your vegetarian sister, with Kampot pepper you will hit both options. Our pepper is – as one of the few on the market – exclusively gluten-free and sold at 100% purity, achieved by handpicking and sorting with tweezers in Cambodia and special final sorting on the SORTEX machine here in the Czech Republic. Thanks to this, our pepper is also sought after as a gift for people with health disadvantages – it contains truly nothing more than 100% quality pepper – which is a rarity today! A gift without meat – a gift with meaning  It may sound funny, but choosing a gift for a vegetarian doesn’t have to be easy not only because of meatless options but simply because most people with a meat-free diet are socially very conscious and care about all the products they consume. If you give a vegetarian a gift that has such a strong social impact, like Kampot pepper from .pepper..field, you will score points! We buy our pepper  exclusively from the smallest farming families at fair prices and pay them 100% of the amount upfront. We take care not only of their families but also ensure that here in the Czech Republic the pepper is packed in quality, ideally Czech materials that can be sustainably reused – all gifts are then hand-packed. Give your vegetarian girlfriend something that will impress her! True red pepper – an icon for vegetarians True red Kampot pepper is a very rare pepper that perfectly complements the flavor of vegetarian and vegan meals – which are often not easy to season. Veganism is becoming more widespread every year in the Czech Republic, so this represents a big revolution even in gifts for vegans – red pepper perfectly matches anything of plant origin because it is beautifully aromatic, fragrant, sweet, and fruity. This Christmas, your son who is vegan will be surprised by the most beautiful fragrant gift that comes from the heart! TIP! Also try our  100% vegan nut butters with red Kampot pepper!
