In order to bring you the best tips for Christmas gifts for the home, we've done a little research. We asked family, friends and acquaintances what they would give their loved ones or what they themselves would like under the Christmas tree. Be inspired by their wishes.
Choose from the quality products of the Berndorf Sandrik brand. Give the gift of quality that lasts for decades. This year our products celebrate 180 years.
Cook in proper pots
"I really wish I could cook in normal pots. I have a mean one, it's not bad, it cooks well, but the technology has moved on. I would definitely appreciate a good quality pot," confided Ľudka, a 32-year-old mother on maternity leave.
Our Berndorf pots are stainless steel, dishwasher safe and suitable for all types of heating, including induction. The pots have a sandwich bottom which prevents the bottom from warping, the food does not burn when the correct size of energy source is used and the accumulated heat means that the food continues to warm up for some time even after it has been taken off the stove. The pot is even suitable for oven baking, with a recommended temperature of up to 220 °C (use hand protection when handling to prevent burns).
Dining with quality porcelain
"My mum would like to finally dine on quality plates," Peter, 27, an IT consultant, revealed to us. "You know, when my brother and I were little, she didn't want to invest in plates. I can understand her too, we inadvertently beat her up with a lot of dishes. You know kids...and later teenagers who don't take extra care when helping around the house. She'd like to have that nicely set table like she sees on Instagram or in magazines," Peter further elaborated on his idea.
For a selection of porcelain, we would recommend visiting one of our brick-and-mortar stores in Žarnovice or Trnava. You can choose from different decors, brands and try on the porcelain. We will pack it safely for you and you can take it home safely. You do not have to rely on any courier. If you are looking for elegant porcelain that has clean lines we would definitely recommend Seltman Weiden or Güral Porselen. Alternatively, if you're a fan of cheerful, colourful decors that you can colour arbitrarily, then we'd recommend checking out Berndorf porcelain. For earthy tones and porcelain with a natural look, Holst Porzellan is the right choice. Ceramic porcelain with a high-quality glaze, also suitable for industrial dishwashers, can be found in our stores under the Bonna brand. In addition, until 15.12. you will receive a 20% discount on Bonna porcelain in our stores.
Have a proper knife that fits in your hand
"I would so love to have a proper knife. One with a solid, solid handle and proper steel that won't get dulled by anything. A knife that will make me look like a professional chef when I cook," said Tomáš, 47, who enjoys cooking very much.
We would like Tomáš to get at least one of our damascus knives under the tree. The blade made of damascus steel is beautiful to look at and has unique properties. Damascus steel is created by joining multiple layers of steel plates together using a forge welding method. The handle of this knife is strong, stable and tough.
If you prefer stainless steel, then we would recommend the HQ Calibre Knife. It is a higher range of Berndorf knives made from X50CrMoV15 type stainless steel. It also has a high quality handle that features high mechanical strength, rigidity and wear resistance.

Dining culturally with the same cutlery
"My wife would be delighted to add to our older set of Sandrik cutlery, which we've had at home since our wedding and that's been a nice 26 years. Over the years, the cutlery has gotten where it's been missed and I know that when the whole family gets together, my wife completes the table with other cutlery. She always remarks that we should finally go to Berndorf to buy cutlery, so that we have complete sets," Tibor, a 54-year-old financial advisor, wishes his wife.
Chrome nickel cutlery is a great choice for the home. There are more than 30 design sets to choose from, ranging from the simplest and most versatile designs to special modern or rustic designs. You can choose the size of set you want to invest in, or purchase individual cutlery pieces separately. Among the cutlery, you will also find brand new models such as the Wimbledon, which has only recently been released to celebrate Berndorf's 180th anniversary. However, we also remain faithful to our favourite models, whose design is timeless and has survived many decades. We have been told that Tibor might just buy a set from the Casino range, which we have been making at Berndorf for at least 26 years. You can take advantage of a 20% discount on cutlery until 15.12.2023.

It is also worth considering investing in cutlery that has a high market value and is often the subject of an inheritance. Yes, that's right, we're talking about silver cutlery, which has a tradition of production at Berndorf for almost 180 years.
A few words on Christmas
Maybe it is your mother, wife or grandmother who longs for a cultural dining experience. Maybe it's your father, husband who wants to hold the right, sharp kitchen knife. And maybe it's your daughter or daughter-in-law who longs for quality pots and pans. Give the gift of the joy of dining or cooking. We have a 20% promotion on selected Berndorf branded products , but beware the promotion is only valid until 15.12.2023.
Remember, however, that the real Christmas is not about presents. We wish you a Merry Christmas, in the circle of your loved ones. May it be full of joy, empathy, love and may you enjoy it in health and peace.
Merry Christmas
