Christmas gifts and gifts for people with diabetes
A gift for someone with diabetes is difficult to choose when you don’t have diabetes yourself: something too medical can feel patronizing, while something too generic may miss the realities of everyday life. Here’s what our community really appreciates—gifts for men and women with diabetes alike.
What goes down well
Something that’s beautiful and useful at the same time: diabetes jewelry, a bag, Sticker or a title from our books. These ideas work equally well for men and women with diabetes, whether you’re looking for a gift for a man, your girlfriend or a female colleague.
Giving sweets as a gift
Enjoying sweets without added sugar also works as a gift. You’ll find the selection in the snacks collection: from sugar-free speculoos and non-alcoholic punch to a vanilla sugar substitute for baking, also suitable as a filling for a DIY advent calendar.
For kids
Child-friendly ideas can be found under Diabeteskids, as well as the stuffed animal with insulin pump and Diabetes Barbie with insulin pump and CGM sensor.
When you’re unsure
In that case, it’s better to choose something the recipient can select themselves: gift vouchers arrive by email within minutes, even at the last minute.
Advent calendars, St. Nicholas Day and cookies
At Zuckerschmuck, you’ll find a Christmas world for children and adults with diabetes: sweets without added sugar to fill a DIY advent calendar, plus tapes and Sticker for CGM sensors such as Freestyle Libre, Dexcom, Medtronic Enlite and Accu-Chek SmartGuide. For baking, there are cookies and speculoos without added sugar, vanilla sugar without sugar, as well as low-calorie winter punch without sugar. This year, two ready-made advent calendars without added sugar are also joining the range: one from NEOH and one from Diablo.
Also available as a voucher
If you need something at short notice or want to let your Diabuddies choose for themselves: We send the gift voucher by email, and new delicious varieties are added regularly.
Frequently asked questions
What do you give someone with diabetes? Ideally, something that makes everyday life easier or more enjoyable without telling them what to do: a bag, a design for their sensor, jewelry with an emergency notice or sweets without added sugar. If you’re unsure, the voucher is always a good choice.
When should I order for Christmas? Orders placed before 2 p.m. on weekdays are dispatched the same day; during the Advent season, the earlier you order, the more relaxed it is.
