Need gift ideas as the holidays approach? Once again this year, visit the website www.c-nowal.be. A goldmine proposing a selection of hundreds of original and innovative gifts, 100% made in Wallonia.

C-nowäl is an initiative that aims to promote Walloon expertise through innovative and creative gifts. Three Walloon institutions (the Enterprise and Innovation Agency, InnovaTech and Wallonie Design) have joined forces to promote this range of products from Walloon companies and craftsmen.

From the Kabaka modular cabin which will delight children, through design objects, textiles, jewellery, food products ranging from traditional to original such as insect pasta from Aldento or Greenkow spreads, to more technological products (the iPad application My Epic Stories to test the imagination of children and their parents, the Anakin drone or even the motorbike GPS, Tripy Rally), there's something for all tastes and all budgets.

All these gifts are classified by category (gourmet, well-being, children, lifestyle and leisure) making for an easy search.  Why not let yourself be tempted by products that take a step towards a more environmentally-friendly world? My Caro, fabric handkerchiefs brought up to date or the edible verrines of Do Eat.

Support this initiative by giving Walloon products. Friends, family, colleagues, corporate gifts, there's always a good reason for a present!
