Pickle Christmas decoration
The famous Christmas cucumber.
The Christmas pickle is a Christmas decoration in the shape of a pickle. It's related to an American tradition, allegedly of German origin, of hiding this decoration in a Christmas tree.
The Christmas pickle tradition is most present in the American Midwest, where a significant number of people have German origins.
This ornament is the last one placed in a decorated tree on Christmas Eve, so it can be hidden among the needles. The first child (or adult of course) to find it receives an extra gift, gets to unwrap his or her presents first, and/or receives good luck for the coming year.
The city of Berrien Springs, Michigan is the self-proclaimed "Christmas Pickle Capital of the World". It holds a festival in early December, with a parade, during which fresh pickles are distributed.

Christmas Orders and Shipping Guidelines
To ensure smooth delivery for your holiday shopping (and beyond), here are all the details you need to know about shipping, pickup points, and our responsibilities as a small business. Please read carefully!
Pickup Point Delivery
If you choose delivery to a pickup point (point relais), you must select your preferred pickup point after your purchase. If you don’t select one, we will pick the closest one to your home address for you.
Important: we do not verify whether the pickup point you (or we) choose is still active with the carrier. Some points may no longer work with the chosen carrier, and unfortunately, we have no control over this.
If a package gets lost or doesn’t arrive at the selected point because it is inactive, we cannot be held responsible. we know this can be frustrating, but this is a limitation of the system we are working with.
Returns and Refunds
We only issue refunds for returned items. If your order is lost or delayed, we are unable to refund it unless we first receive it back.
For all lost packages, we will open a ticket with our shipping platform Sendcloud. This process can take some time before we receive updates or solutions. Additionally, it may take time to recover the package. Once the package is returned to us and everything is in order, we will issue a refund.
As a small business, frequent losses and refunds seriously impact our ability to thrive, so we appreciate your understanding and patience in these cases.
