We long for adventures, big trips and very special experiences - the more unusual, the better. But unfortunately these wishes and desires are not always cheap. So we thought we should just focus on the simple things again, because we often forget that these are the best things and they are completely free. Enjoy our small selection!
May is a real family month – Mother's Day is just around the corner and Father's Day is getting closer and closer. Reason enough for us to celebrate family life with our #postcardsofthemonth.
The last two months have been tough - not just for each and every one of us as private individuals, but also especially for the economy and especially for the retail sector. The necessity of almost all shops closing due to the current situation naturally led to enormous losses in sales and in some cases even threatened economic existence. In order not to disappear completely from the scene, creative ideas and extraordinary service measures were needed so that all the wonderful products could continue to find their way to customers despite the closure. So we asked a few of our #geilerladen members how they are best coping with the situation.
We are the creators of our own destiny. People say that if you follow your passion, it will lead you to your goal. For many of us, this is easier said than done. Teresa, a wonderful member of our Instagrammer community, shows: It is definitely possible! We are so happy that she was willing to share her inspiring life journey with us. Find out how she developed her own style, how Instagram impacted her career path and how she overcame her doubts to turn her greatest passion into her job!
In a small suburb of Stuttgart there is a shop with particularly clever gifts - a place for small and big dreams. We present: the Pfiffikus shop. Here you will find everything your heart desires: a variety of home and gift ideas, fashion accessories, jewelry, stationery, tableware, children's clothing, children's toys and much more.
The magic of Christmas has vanished, as has the (barely existent) New Year's Eve glamour. Now there are still a handful of cold, grey days ahead of us. Until life finally becomes more colourful again, we'll just think warm thoughts. And there is light at the end of the tunnel: Valentine's Day on February 14th marks the start of the signs of spring, so to speak!
We have just come back from Nordstil and met the manager of one of our sales outlets there. Since we are so enthusiastic about the shop, we naturally don't want to keep this place full of happy moments in northern Bremen from you.
Hamburg - for us the second most beautiful city in the world - is something very special. One of the largest ports in Europe, Hanseatic culture and history, a good pinch of humor, North German serenity and now and again a bit of crappy weather. The city is bursting with multicultural hotspots and special features such as the Reeperbahn or the Schanzenviertel. Art, music and creativity can be found on almost every corner and the Alstersee is one of the most beautiful city lakes in the world. We are here again because we are at the Nordstil. Come by, visit us at the exhibition stand and let our #awalkthrough inspire you for your own walk through the city.
Beautiful houseplants simply make our hearts blossom! A small urban jungle brings color and a bit of life into your own four walls and at the same time acts as a relaxed counterbalance to the turbulent everyday life in the city. So that you don't have to spend all your money on new plants, we show you in our new DIY how you can easily propagate three types of plants yourself. A lovely gift for yourself or friends and family.
For our next #awalkthrough we're taking a detour to Potsdam! Karin from the team knows the area pretty well and tells you where in the city you can take particularly beautiful photos for your Instagram account! The pictures are all from great Instagram photographers who we've linked. The cover photo is from @potsdamagram. Feel free to leave them a heart!
Our journey through Germany continues: This time Marie from the team will introduce you to 8 great places in her hometown of Dortmund that are definitely worth a visit and are also great photo spots for your Instagram account!
