How We Choose Our European Brands

Hi, I’m Tamara — owner (and everything else!) behind Gingerbread World European Christmas Market. From discovering new collections to packing every order, this little shop is my passion. What began 13 years ago with a single focus on traditional German Lebkuchen has grown into a carefully curated European Christmas market, built one beautiful find at a time.

A True European Christmas Market

A True European Christmas Market

Christmas is at the heart of everything we do. Germany gave us many of the traditions we cherish most — the Christmas tree, Advent calendars, festive confections — and we’re proud to import directly from European makers and designers so you can experience the beauty and atmosphere of a true Christmas market at home.

Chosen With Care

Chosen With Care

Every brand we carry is selected with intention: made or designed in Europe, crafted by companies known for quality and tradition, and beautiful enough to become part of your own holiday story. Some collections are available year-round as supplies last, while others — like Lebkuchen and seasonal confections — return each fall for a short and much-anticipated Christmas season.

A European Market, Year-Round

A European Market, Year-Round

While Christmas is our heart, Gingerbread World doesn’t hibernate the rest of the year. We continue to seek out European makers and seasonal collections that reflect the same sense of tradition, beauty, and joy — from Easter celebrations to timeless décor that can be enjoyed all year long. Each new find is chosen with the same care, always staying true to our uniquely European spirit.
