The same few things – a different occasion each time
Occasions
Occasions
Which occasion?
The same few things, a different occasion each time. We have gathered what people usually order for baptisms, weddings, Advent, corporate gifting and the sacraments – together with unit prices and deadlines.
Christening gift
Everyone brings something for the child anyway. Bring the parents a moment instead: gingerbread, and a saint’s thought on the ribbon hidden in the box.
Wedding favours
Twenty-four different messages, so your guests won’t all draw out the same one. For a hundred guests, from €3.33, with a custom accompanying card.
Corporate gift
It’s not the logo that matters, but what you want to say. From €3.05, with a ready-to-place counter display.
Christmas and Advent
Twenty-four pauses, not twenty-four bites. The biscuits can also be hung on the tree, so the calendar becomes a decoration.
First Holy Communion and Confirmation
Not something that ends up in a drawer: you have to pull the ribbon, and then the words appear. For groups too.
Hospital visit
If flowers aren’t a good idea right now, a quiet sentence always has a place. Small, keeps for one year, and fits on the bedside table.
Guest accommodation
A hotel in-room touch: gingerbread placed on the pillow or the bedside table, and a sentence the guest takes home. Also available in larger quantities for accommodation providers.
With love from Hungary
A Hungarian gift for when you travel abroad, or when guests come to you from abroad. Handmade in a Hungarian workshop. The message on the ribbon is in English.
Comparison
How many do you need, and when should you order?
Most of the questions we receive are about two things: how many you need, and by when the order has to be placed. The answer differs from one occasion to the next, so here it is, all in one place.
Baptism
Usually only a small circle attends the ceremony itself, but the gathering afterwards is larger. If you would like to give the guests something too, count the number of adults, plus two. The baptism gift page explains who traditionally gives what, and where GALAMBOM fits in.
Wedding
This is where the biggest number is decided: whether you give favours per guest or per couple. Between the two, the budget shifts by almost half. On the wedding favours page you will find a simple calculation for both cases, as well as the latest date by which you need to order.
Corporate gifting
Gifts for employees and gifts for partners are two separate tasks: one needs many boxes to a single address, the other a few to many addresses. Christmas orders are best decided in October. The corporate gift page has the price tiers and what to clarify with your accountant in advance.
Advent
In 2026 the first Sunday of Advent falls on 29 November, but the calendar starts on the first of December. If you want it to arrive in time, order by mid-November. Details on the Advent gift page.
First Holy Communion, Confirmation
In spring, on dates that vary from parish to parish. The date is usually announced months in advance, so this is the occasion you can prepare for most comfortably. See the First Holy Communion and Confirmation gift page.
