Let's not kid ourselves, choosing the right gift can be quite a challenge, whether you know the person well or not. This is especially true for men. If you ask them what would make them happy, they usually answer that they already have everything and don't need anything. And if they don't get anything spectacular, they stare with surprise and considerable displeasure. They're basically sometimes a bit like little children. And that's a clue you should stick to. Children like to play, and in men, that playfulness usually stays until late age Therefore, it is good to give a gift they can experiment with, play with, and bring joy to the people around them. However, immediately forget about LEGO or slot car tracks. You might score points, but you could embarrass the man in front of others. For an original gift for men, you need to be clever. One of the few places where men shed their adult face and let the boy inside them speak is on the couch with a game console, in the workshop, or the kitchen. If you don't want to encourage their time in front of the TV or computer and you understand drills, it's ideal to move where you have solid ground under your feet. However, there is one catch here as well. An original gift for men for the kitchen should be purely masculine. A pot won't excite them, but a proper Japanese knife will. And a nicely sharp pepper grinder will bring similar joy. With us, you will find the best pepper in the world, imported all the way from Kampot, Cambodia, where pepper is grown using ancient methods and in a completely sustainable way. By purchasing this pepper, you will also support local farmers whose living standards differ significantly from ours due to exploitation. Your purchase will help send children to school, provide them with healthcare, and maybe even allow them to see parts of beautiful Cambodia beyond their home village. Kampot pepper is thus a completely original gift for men, especially if you add one of our excellent wooden grinders with refined grinding technology.

You have probably been invited to a housewarming party of your friends' new home at some point. Although such invitations often don't specify, it is polite to bring a gift for the new home, preferably some equipment for the new household. And such a new home certainly deserves the scent of new pepper. The best one. When you don't know, go for something practical It often happens that you have no idea what would be useful to your friends in their new house or apartment. Therefore, it is appropriate to choose a gift that you are sure to hit the mark with. Such a gift can be the best pepper in the world. Anyone will appreciate pepper of such high quality in their kitchen. And if it happens that Kampot pepper is already among their spices, it’s no problem at all. Fresh supplies are always useful because the delicacy of this pepper is so high that it disappears from the pantry at lightning speed. A quality wooden manual grinder will also come in handy in the kitchen, serving as a helper for many years. It grinds not only pepper precisely but also salt and other dried spices that your loved ones often use. With our gift sets, you will definitely attract attention Although peppercorns are the greatest natural treasure, we pack them in packaging that emphasizes their uniqueness and exclusivity. So you don’t have to worry about what to wrap the pepper in. Just choose one of our gift boxes and you have a perfect gift taken care of. However, pepper is not the only thing you can give in a luxurious wooden box. In our offer, we have a whole range of pepper delicacies, from freeze-dried green pepper in chocolate, through delicate nut butters, to excellent bars of the finest chocolate enriched with the subtle spiciness of rare red pepper. If you also want to give the housewarming party the right kick, reach for our unique pepper beer or nØGin. In short, don’t be afraid of originality and give a piece of Cambodia, thanks to which your friends will feel more at home in their new place.

A gift bag that hides a whole range of small items serving as a thank-you gift for a business partner for joint cooperation – this is the color without which no business meeting or media presentation can do. How to arrange for your bag to stand out in the spotlight among all corporate gifts? Practicality Bags usually contain at first glance very useful, but ultimately completely unnecessary items. From various stationery needs such as notebooks and diaries, calendars and pens, to USB flash drives, keychains, caps, or t-shirts with the company logo. Change this stereotype and give your corporate partner, for example, a quality Grinder for pepper, which will last for generations and become a decoration in their kitchen. Uniqueness All classic gift items share one thing: they bring joy the first time, maybe the second, but at the moment the recipient has 15 USB drives, a thousand pens, and a hundred diaries in their drawer, all enthusiasm for what new item appears in the bag completely fades. It can happen that the person doesn’t even take the bag in the end. That is why we decided to lend a helping hand to companies and jointly create gifts that will make their partners jump for joy. Consider for yourself, would you be happier with another pen decorated with a logo, or would you rather enjoy the contents of a wooden box with an engraved name, which is nothing more luxurious than genuine Kampot pepper? Take a look at the entire offer of our gift sets that we can personalize to the maximum for corporate partners. Luxurious Appearance Pepper is always packed in the most luxurious packaging, so the partner clearly sees that you highly value your mutual cooperation, and thanks to engraving on the packaging, they find out exactly who gave them that excellent pepper in advance. Gift Package wrapped in satin black paper may or may not be part of your Package, but what is always present are recyclable and 100% natural materials that are durable, high-quality, and environmentally friendly. Together with fairtrade Kampot pepper, they create a perfect blend of traditional values and delight even for the most demanding design lovers. Discover all types of Kampot pepper and choose the best one, or gift several varieties for a comprehensive experience. With our pepper, you simply show that you are a company that thinks even about the smallest details and with wit and sufficient elegance can express exactly what partners mean to it.

We have been happy to show you for a few years now that even design objects can be useful or even sustainable. Now we are coming with another novelty in the form of gift sets and stands made from rescued cardboard here in the Czech Republic, bringing you proof that recyclable material can be a luxurious and design packaging. It just takes a few educated and skillful hands! Yes. Our new gift sets and stands for glass test tubes with Kampot pepper were once really made of cardboard intended for simple processing by pressing. However, fate is not always scientifically straightforward, and so this cardboard was taken in hand by skillful people and sensitively transformed into design pieces with an original and minimalist look that you will want to show off. Sustainability, lightness, and practicality. Fall in love with us! Gentle on forestry The rescued cardboard used for our sets has FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, which simply guarantees that the products support the most environmentally friendly forestry. This certificate largely prevents illegal logging in forests in our country and throughout Europe. From the very beginning, our packaging has been maximally sustainable and environmentally friendly. The five-layer to seven-layer corrugated cardboard used for the special hardened cardboard can also be recycled up to three times, which helps the basic goal of this idea: to avoid unnecessary waste! The durability of the material resembles solid wood And what if I spill water on my stand? No problem! Our gift Package and accessories made from rescued sustainable cardboard have a special surface treatment, and thanks to it, they are ready to serve you for several years and be one of the most durable materials you have at home. They are not afraid of water. It’s clear that you probably won’t make a boat from them, but a little water on the kitchen counter really won’t destroy them. After all, it is the same material from which Kartoons, for example, create seats and heavy-duty furniture. ☺ Some models are additionally reinforced with other materials, such as MDF boards or wooden strips, which ensure greater durability. Also, our gift boxes and stands are reinforced with beautiful, design oak boards, making them extremely sturdy. A collaboration that warms the heart For cooperation, we choose Czech companies whose products are unique, mindful of the environment, and about which we know that our joint result will be worth it. We immediately fell in love with the minimalism that Kartoons brought to the market and broke into major design houses both here and abroad. We have a weakness for natural materials, as our flagship product, which is Kampot pepper , nature itself gave it to us with the help of farmers. Everything is handmade, everything is maximally gentle and cared for by kind hands that know how to make quality products and design gems. Did you know that... ... the first collection of cardboard products (including furniture) appeared in the world as early as the 1970s? Even decades ago, people knew that cardboard is definitely not ordinary paper. Cardboard has an incredible strength and load-bearing capacity, it is light and easy to work with. Thanks to modern techniques using lasers, real design gems can be created from it, and it can fully utilize its potential to become a perfect accessory in the household.

Engraving is an option for you to make a close person or a business partner happy. For us, it is an opportunity to adapt even more to your needs and create a tailor-made gift exactly as you want it. In the past, messages were hand-carved – now, thanks to this technology, we can engrave a message, logo, quote, or even an ornament with absolute precision and speed. Even in modern times, a personal message is something your partner, friend, or client will appreciate more than an ordinary gift bought in a store. This controlled engraving also delivers a perfectly precise and flawless result. And with us, it smells like a campfire. :-) Because you are very interested in engraving on our sets with Kampot pepper especially now before Christmas, we have prepared a selection of the most frequently asked questions for you: What kind of design can I have engraved? Messages, monograms, dedications, dates that you write to us. It is important to consider what will look nice on the box. From our experience, these are usually short dedications, names, or a short quote of up to five words. What font can I choose? We usually engrave with a font that best suits our wooden box and conveys a feeling of elegance and handcrafted work. If you have a special request, we will gladly handle it individually and customize the engraving to your requirements. On what material will your message be engraved? We offer engraving on any wooden gift set with Kampot pepper. On the solid and flat lid, the message stands out best, and the recipient will have a beautiful keepsake for a lifetime.

Then just write your personal message in the note, and that's it! Then just complete the order. How can I check the engraving when the gift is packed? If we engrave the gift set, we do not wrap it in black paper. This is so you can check your message with your own eyes and not give someone something you haven’t seen yourself. The set will still be beautifully hand-assembled and tied with our black ribbon. What if I am a company and want a large quantity? For companies, organizations, and agencies, we gladly engrave logos on our gift sets according to their choice.

We stand by the motto that when something is done properly and with love, it is always noticeable. The quality and practicality of our gift sets are appreciated by you every year, showing us that doing something honestly really makes sense. Let's remind ourselves what makes our gift truly personal and who is behind delivering a quality and original product to you. Handcrafted Czech Glass and Wood From the very beginning, you can be sure that everything has gone through a human touch, which imprints something into the product that no machine can. Because we cooperate with masters in their field, our work is done precisely down to the smallest detail. The test tubes made of Czech glass, which we produce in a small Czech glassworks, undergo multiple quality checks before glassmakers hand-stamp them with the double black signature .pepper..field and they begin to be finally filled with our Kampot pepper in a protected workshop. You can be sure that every wooden box made in Czech Polička, in which you receive our pepper treasures, is hand-assembled by skilled hands. Design Pieces Save Czech Forests and Help We have been happy to show you for several years now that even design items can be useful or even sustainable. Now we come with another novelty in the form of rescued cardboard here in the Czech Republic, providing you proof that not all recyclable material necessarily has to end up in collection. All cardboard products also have FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, which simply guarantees that the products support the most environmentally friendly forestry. Our beautiful luxury bag, in which your gift will arrive, is also hand-assembled here in the Czech Republic. It is made from paper obtained in an ecologically friendly and economically viable way (also meets FSC certification). Its luxurious black satin ribbon is a joy to untie because it always hides something beautiful inside. All Our Products Are Treated Like Cotton Wool All hand-processed sustainable materials at .pepper..field are lovingly cared for further.

What will be in it? That’s a surprise. :-) Cooperation That Makes Sense Our other pepper products are developed in collaboration with local smaller companies that, just like us, do their work with love. You can taste chocolate with our Kampot pepper from the family chocolate maker Herufek in Čejč, pepper gin from the small craft distillery Landcraft, nut butter with Kampot pepper from Barenuts, purely plant-based custom workshops from Prostějov, or dried meat Biltong with Kampot pepper from Maso Here. We are open to all good ideas and enjoy coming up with more pepper products that you will love! And we must not forget the most important thing. Our Kampot pepper, which is the purpose of it all. Hand-picked by farmers in Cambodia, whom we take care of. The love with which they tend to every peppercorn is evident throughout the entire presentation of our brand .pepper..field, which tells you this whole story. The meaning of traditions is their continuation. And although it takes effort and time, it is a joy for us to pass on everything behind it to you all in our gift sets.

Sustainability is a concept that has recently been resonating strongly with society. Some companies use it merely as PR, others because they have to, and then there are those who see sustainability as the right direction and are fully committed to it from times when sustainability was not just a trendy term. We try to place ourselves in the third category with our approach to business, Package, but above all with our work with Kampot pepper. The cultivation of Kampot pepper is bound by a number of rules that ensure this agricultural activity leaves only a minimal ecological footprint. We strive to keep this footprint as low as possible even at the moment when we take over the pepper from the farmers, which we do directly, without any intermediaries–and thanks to this we have absolute control over the environmental impact of our business. 1. Package For our products and Package itself, we always use ecological materials, or materials that you can keep for further use. Our boxes are recycled from a sheltered workshop, custom-made to be filled to the last gap, and if you find a plastic bubble wrap in the gift Package, it is only because this incredibly expensive gift set, which is handmade from Czech glass and wood and is very delicate when wrapped in silk paper, is best protected by this bubble wrap. We kindly ask you not to throw it away like we do, but to reuse it for other packages. :-) 2. Circulation The best thing that can happen to us is that you reuse all the components from the package. Do not throw away the boxes, reuse the bubble wrap, dedicate the brochure to others after reading, refill the doypack bags with something good again, and refill the glass tubes with our pepper and ideally keep them forever! The gift box will beautifully serve as a smart helper for storing smaller items in the kitchen. :-) 3. Ecology Ecological materials are those that leave a minimal impact on the environment. We reduce this impact every time we decide to reuse our Package instead of immediately throwing it away–our Package are also of high quality, so they last for several years and serve many purposes. We also behave ecologically ourselves: in the company, we sort waste, reuse packaging materials several times, and before throwing anything away, we really think about it! 4. Choice Besides offering several types of packaging for pepper, we also provide practically all available delivery options to make the package's footprint towards you as ecological as possible. If you want the package sent „naked“, without brochures and leaflets, no problem! If, on the other hand, you want a more beautiful gift Package so you don’t have to repackage it, we will accommodate you. 5. Locality As soon as the peppercorns come into our hands, we do everything to ensure their carbon footprint increases only minimally. That is why we pack them in materials that are local and made in the Czech Republic. Our tubes come from Czech glassmakers, the box is hand-assembled in Polička, doypack bags come from a traditional Czech printing house, the boxes from a Czech sheltered workshop, and our gift bags are also assembled in the Czech Republic. :-) Do you think something could be done better? Write to us, we are happy to learn. The path to complete sustainability is indeed long and endless – there is always room for improvement.

Beautiful packaging, but what to do with it? There are three options right here. The first one, which we are not too enthusiastic about, is throwing the packaging into the regular trash bin. We are much happier when you sort the packaging and give it a chance for recycling. And then there is the third option, which is the best for us and the planet, and that is reusing the packaging. Bags Our doypack bags, in which we pack pepper, are a great example of the possibility of upcycling our packaging. They are resealable with a quality zipper, which means you can fill them with all sorts of things to maintain freshness. This applies, for example, to various types of dried herbs that you have grown in your own garden or anything you would like to keep fresh in the kitchen for a long time. Besides the zipper, our bags have a triple-layer barrier that protects any treasure from the kitchen, A resealable bag is also useful for travel. You can prepare a spice mix with Kampot pepper in it and then use it during picnics, camping, or outdoor grilling without having to carry our grinders with you. Similarly, you can fill it with freshly ground coffee for trips or prepare a small snack for children. The packaging can also be used for freezing a wide range of different ingredients. Glass Test Tubes Besides bags, we pack pepper into our iconic glass test tubes made from high-quality Czech glass, which are not only custom-made but also handmade. Thanks to the combination with a precise cork screw cap made to measure, the peppercorns can be kept in perfect condition, showcasing their uniqueness without oxidizing over months or even years.  Ideally, these test tubes are intended for continuous refilling with pepper from the bags, but they can also be used for a variety of other purposes. Due to their transparency, they can be filled with anything that pleases your eye in the kitchen. How about using the test tubes for confectionery decorations? Vanilla pods look great in them, for example. It is an unusual way to serve someone a drink or a summer cocktail, or you can give the test tubes to your children so they can use them for their various experiments. However, remember that these are made of glass, so children should only play with this packaging under parental supervision. And how do you upcycle our packaging? Send us a photo or inspiration, and after verification, we will reward you for the fight for a better planet! 

If you are like us, travelers at heart and soul, this year might already feel long to you. Due to all the restrictions, we cannot travel and discover new distances. That is why this year, the approaching date of Christmas may inevitably scare us. Previously, choosing gifts for travelers was quite easy – you solved it with a plane ticket, a train ticket, a guidebook for the destination, or a new travel gadget. But what to give travelers this year when it is uncertain when and where they will be able to go? You can remember scents even for years – give fragrant pepper For most travelers, memories are stored not only in photographs and souvenirs from trips but also in scents. Surely it has happened to you more than once that a certain scent brought you back to a specific place. At .pepper..field, for example, thanks to the scent of Kampot pepper we constantly return to all our journeys to sunny Cambodia and remember the morning rays that pleasantly warmed our faces, the scent of pepper fields, and the farming family from whom we buy Kampot pepper and who put a pinch of sunshine and lots of love into every hand-picked peppercorn. Taste buds will rejoice with Kampot pepper for every traveler Beautiful memories are often linked with a scent or a gastronomic experience. Perhaps this year we should create new memories in the family circle with the scent of distant places. What if this Christmas you try cooking some oriental or exotic dishes? Getting exotic ingredients today is just two clicks away. The crown of your culinary art will be added by our sun-scented Kampot pepper. So if you are wondering what to give your adventurers, give them one of our pepper gift sets as a Christmas gift and then just watch with a wink how smiles spread across their faces and beautiful new memories form in their minds.

Christmas is among the most beautiful moments of the entire year, when the hectic pace slows down to a minimum, people start to smile more and enjoy those unique moments scented with purple... And newly also with pepper. However, the Christmas season also belongs to good deeds. Some decide to save the life of the Christmas carp, others regularly contribute to charity, and some put under the tree such gifts that will please not only the recipient but also help those from whom they were purchased. And this is exactly the story of our pepper from .pepper..field. Pepper grown by Cambodian farmers whose lives are far from as simple as ours Due to the troubled past of the country, Cambodia is struggling with socio-economic problems, which make it difficult for local residents to meet basic needs. There is a lack of money for adequate healthcare, it is often a problem to secure basic food, and if something is saved, most parents invest these funds into the education of their children. We know Cambodia like the back of our hands, our friends live here and we regularly return. Therefore, we know very well how hard life is for the locals and this is also the reason why we try so hard to help them. You can also help us improve this situation How? Just purchase one of the products we offer, which guarantees that you have bought a piece of distant Cambodia that we ourselves have bought under fair conditions from the people behind whose houses this delicate pepper grew and who harvested it with their own hands. Thanks to this, you can bring joy not only to the person you give the pepper to, for example in a beautiful gift box with glass tubes, but also to one of these farming families living under the peaks of the Bokor Mountains. Together with .pepper..field you can fulfill their dreams of better tomorrows and you can say that you have done at least one good deed during this Christmas. Thank you for your support!

Just as the entire past year was unusual, this year's Christmas will most likely be different as well. There are uncertainties hanging over the Advent concerts, midnight masses, and most likely we won't even get to experience the traditional Christmas markets where you always had a chance to buy a small gift for your loved ones. This year, gift shopping will take place more than ever online, which can be problematic for some. Many people prefer to choose gifts in traditional brick-and-mortar stores, especially when these gifts, beyond their practical value, also bring something extra. They are aesthetic and in many cases bring the most joy. Gifts with the Scent of Distant Lands and Noble Origin However, on the internet, you can also find such a  Christmas gift that is not only practical but also something more than just soulless electronics or another piece of clothing. .pepper..field offers you the opportunity to give a unique experience brought all the way from distant Cambodia, which your beloved person can enjoy every time they start cooking. Who you give our Kampot pepper to is entirely up to your decision. However, we will do everything to make it a stylish gift, wrapped so that the recipient knows what a precious treasure they have received. We pack the pepper into beautiful glass test tubes and add Grinder made by Czech craftsmen with the best grinding mechanism available. Kampot Pepper Will Bring Joy to Both Professionals and Amateurs in the Kitchen The entire gift Package is not only intended for people for whom cooking is a lifelong passion. Our pepper will delight experienced chefs, helping them perfect their culinary art, but also bold explorers who are not afraid of new experiences and refined flavors. Kampot pepper is not just any spice; it is pepper of unparalleled quality worldwide. We personally select it from farmers living in Cambodia and ensure they receive fair compensation for their work. You can taste the fruits of their labor yourself. Just choose some of the Package offered by .pepper..field. This Christmas will be scented not only with cinnamon and orange but also with the peppery aroma of exotic distant lands.

A gift for the boss, for colleagues, a Christmas gift for employees, but also for business partners or the most skilled reinforcements in the company. A corporate gift is a giant that many companies think about every year. This year, the novelty is that we send many gifts by mail thanks to closed branches and help directly with distribution to specific people. In which industries will you score with a gift set with Kampot pepper? A gift for healthcare workers We are increasingly occupying space in corporate gifts for healthcare workers – from dental technicians to healthcare facilities. This year, we also sent several packages with Kampot pepper as a gift to nurses in hospitals – just for fun, to brighten their day for their hard work. Give an original gift with a glass test tube that will cheer up the nurse and the doctor by finally having something nice in the tube! A gift for construction workers  Construction companies love us – why? We don’t really know, but we think that these companies have proper strong men who simply and well appreciate a gift for a real man. Such Kampot pepper is actually a basic building material for every good meal! A gift for IT Many companies that regularly order our gifts are IT companies – we have corporate gifts for IT down pat! Many of them worked from home this year, and quality cooking is appreciated more than ever. A gift for designers  Our Christmas gifts are sought after, for example, by Czech companies focusing on the production and sale of designer lamps and other equipment for companies or households and appreciate when the gift is not only made of quality materials but also beautifully designed, carefully wrapped, and precisely prepared. A gift for carriers Our work is also appreciated by transport sectors that value the connection between Cambodia and the Czech Republic and appreciate this international reach. A gift for personnel agencies  Here we are among the most popular gifts – thanks to the fact that personnel agencies highly value the connection of a quality product and a story that helps. They also like specific people for specific projects! A gift for mechanical engineers  It’s hard to say why we are popular specifically with various companies whose beautiful craft lies in the production of different parts for machines, but we are certainly glad about it. Again, we assume that we get into the hands of mainly male teams! And what about you, have you already thought of this year’s Christmas gift for colleagues you haven’t seen for a long time?

The issue of sustainability and ecology resonates more and more strongly in our society. You certainly know that we are not indifferent to environmental protection either. On the contrary, we try to support it as much as possible, if only because without a quality environment, there wouldn't be quality Kampot pepper! Packaging is a big topic for us Similar to many other companies, we also try to reduce the use of non-recyclable plastics, which nature can only handle with great difficulty. That is why we designed packaging that is produced here in the Czech Republic, made from domestic materials, and whose recycling is as simple as possible. Our pepper is packed into resealable so-called doypack bags, which are made from a combination of three layers of special materials. Thanks to them, maximum freshness and protection of the pepper is guaranteed. The bag can be easily recycled, thus saving the environment. Czech master glassmakers produce unique test tubes for us, which are a combination of high-quality Czech glass and custom cork that prevents any oxidation of the pepper by being perfectly airtight. Such packaging not only offers maximum protection of the pepper's quality, but the colorful peppercorns behind the clear material bring a unique design element into every kitchen. Especially when the test tubes are combined with our unique solid wood stand. Almost everything you buy from us can be upcycled In the name of the most effective sustainability possible, our responsible customer first buys pepper in these glass test tubes. And once you have used all the pepper, which will happen sooner than you expect thanks to the unique taste of Kampot pepper, you can refill the test tubes with the contents of purchased ecological bags. This creates a never-ending sustainable loop, thanks to which you can enjoy our pepper of unprecedented quality without unnecessarily burdening the planet. Tip for the end: Our gift boxes, made here in the Czech Republic from poplar wood, are simply designed so that the inner inserts can be removed. This creates a beautiful storage box that you can use in the kitchen for almost anything!
