7 Tips for Unique Czech Gifts You Can Find in Prague

Whether itโ€™s for Christmas, a birthday, Valentineโ€™s Day, or a wedding, finding the perfect gift is an art.

These gifts from Czechia are sure to make a lasting impression. And as a bonus, we have also included tips on the best places where Czech design and fashion come together, making your gift-shopping experience even more memorable.

Bohรฉma: Fashion with a Czech Footprint

The Bohรฉma brand merges fashion with Czech history and culture, Czech icons, symbols, and personalities (including President Vรกclav Havel, filmmaker Miloลก Forman, and writer Franz Kafka). The brand produces stylish T-shirts, sweatshirts, books, and other accessories. A notable feature is their commitment to donating part of the proceeds to charitable and cultural projects.

Where to buy: You can buy the products in the shop in the heart of Prague (Palackรฉho 7) or shop online at the e-shop.

Smetana Q and Hrzรกnskรก Arcade, a Hut for Czech Design

Two must-visit locations in Prague where Czech design and Czech fashion, jewellery, and cosmetic brands are concentrated made it into our selection of places to go not only for Christmas shopping. The first is SmetanaQ, a unique venue combining a gallery, shop, and cafรฉ in a historic building on the Vltava river waterfront, just around the corner from the Slรกvie cafรฉ or the National Theatre.

The other option is the newly renovated Hrzรกnskรก arcade in the historical centre of Prague near Old Town Square. You can shop there for designer leather accessories, jewellery, Czech fashion, or luxury cosmetics. Enjoy a coffee as you soak in the charming atmosphere of central Prague.

Where to buy: At the Deelive Design Store on the ground floor of SmetanaQ. The Hrzรกnskรก Arcade is a short walk from the Prague Astronomical Clock or the cubist cafรฉ in the House of the Black Mother of God, with one entrance from Celetnรก Street 12 and another from Kamzรญkovรก Street 8.

The Silky Gang

Czech brand Silky Gang specializes in the production of luxury fashion accessoriesโ€”scarves, handbags, jewellery, and gloves. They use organic quality silk twill and cashmere for their scarf collections, while gloves and handbags are made from fine leatherโ€”lambskin. Various Czech illustrators are involved in the scarf patterns. The Silky Gang scarf collections are typically inspired by well-known stories, where the illustration on the silk square is conceived as a work of art. The scarves come with numbered certificates as they are limited art editions.

Where to buy: At the showroom in Prague, at 1 Navrรกtilova Street, or online via the e-shop.

Czech Caviar: The Elixir of Youth

The cosmetics brand Czech Caviar is exceptional in its ecological approachโ€”the raw materials come from so-called โ€œsturgeon-friendlyโ€ caviar, which means that the roe is obtained without killing the sturgeon. This technology was developed in cooperation with the University of South Bohemia in ฤŒeskรฉ Budฤ›jovice, which guarantees the top quality of the nutrient-rich extracts.

Where to buy: Find their products online in the e-shop and in stores in Prague (Myslbek Shopping Gallery).

Manufaktura: Czech-Inspired Natural Cosmetics

With over 30 years of tradition, Manufaktura offers natural cosmetics rooted in Czech heritage that focuses on local ingredients and Czech traditions. Their iconic products include beer cosmetics, a range of rose and spring salts, and herbal elixirs from Czech and Slovak meadows. Manufaktura proudly carries the international Leaping Bunny certificate for non-animal testing and is regularly ranked among the top brands for its quality.

Where to buy: Their stores are conveniently located throughout Czechia, including Prague, ฤŒeskรฝ Krumlov, Brno, Zlรญn, Olomouc, or Karlovy Vary. You can also purchase products via the e-shop.

Smyssly: Luxury Cosmetics

Smyssly epitomizes premium Czech luxury cosmetics, combining natural ingredients with sleek, minimalist design. Their highly praised pearl serum is a must-have for skincare enthusiasts. Each product reflects a commitment to sustainability and elegance.

Where to buy: You can buy online or in many shops with Czech design and fashion. Smyssly also has a brick-and-mortar store in Hrzรกnskรก Arcade, and you can also buy their products at Vรกclav Havel Airport.
