Long winter evenings in Iceland call for something sweet. Our Belgian chocolate gifts include Godiva, Neuhaus and Leonidas. A gourmet gift basket with biscuits and snacks is easy to share.

Gift-Giving Occasions in Iceland
Christmas in Iceland starts on 12 December, when the 13 Yule Lads begin to visit. Presents are opened on Christmas Eve, 24 December, and the Christmas book flood (Jólabókaflóð) pairs books with treats. A box of chocolates from our Christmas gifts is a perfect partner for a new book. Order early because of the extra transit time, and add New Year's gifts for the turn of the year.
Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May; plan your Mother's Day gift well ahead. We also deliver birthday gifts and thank-you gifts to Iceland all year.

Sending Gifts to Iceland from the US, the UK or Elsewhere
Posting a parcel to Iceland yourself means customs forms and often an import bill for the recipient. With GiftsforEurope you order online and pay in your own currency. We ship from Belgium and try to prepay Icelandic customs, so in most cases your recipient pays nothing at the door.
We Deliver Everywhere in Iceland
We deliver to Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Akureyri, Reykjanesbær, Garðabær, Mosfellsbær and the rest of Iceland. Always add the recipient's phone number. We cannot deliver to P.O. boxes. A signature is usually required, so a business address works well; at companies we deliver to reception.
