Spread joy this Christmas
Lonely Christmas Tree Seeking Presents
Every year, Strawberry collects Christmas gifts for those who need them most. Donate a gift and give someone a little extra Christmas joy!
Christmas is a time for warmth and magical moments, yet that joy isn't a given for everyone. That is why, every year during the pre-Christmas season, Strawberry collects gifts in all our hotel lobbies. Donations are welcomed from anyone who wishes to give and are passed on to children and adults in the local community who need the joy of Christmas the most.
Since 2012, the generosity of our guests has helped collect over 500,000 Christmas gifts!
How to contribute
- Buy or donate a Christmas present – just make sure it’s in good condition! This could even include an experience. A cinema ticket is a much appreciated gift that suits all ages. You can also donate a Christmas card for 50 kr to be hung in a Christmas tree at several of our hotels. The proceeds will then be donated in full to the hotel’s selected partner organisations.
- Please make sure not to wrap the present you are donating, as we cannot accept wrapped items for security reasons. The giving of food and drink as a gift is also not encouraged.
- Visit a hotel near you and leave your gift. All presents should be handed to a member of staff in the reception and must not be placed directly under the tree.
The dates during which you can leave a present vary from hotel to hotel.
Where do the presents go?
All received Christmas presents are donated to local supporting charities chosen by the hotel. They in turn make sure that the presents reach children in need. Donations are made to a variety of organisations, including Stockholms Stadsmission, Frälsningsarmen, Barncancerfonden and Kvinnohuset.
Every December, the entire Nordic region is brimming with festive spirit helping thousands of people to have a better Christmas.
A big thank you to all those who have contributed and to those who will do so this year!
