THE GIFT BOX

Christmas is a special time at The Gift Box. In Geneva, the first weekend in December is the annual Christmas Walk and Swedish "glögg" is always served at our shop on Friday night. In years past The Gift Box always had a local girl dress as Sankta Lucia around December 13th serving coffee and lucia buns to our customers. Today Sankta Lucia is part of Geneva's Christmas Walk event on Friday night, the official beginning of the Christmas shopping season in town. Be sure to check out all of the seasonal events in Chicago by going to the American Swedish Museum website. www.swedishamericanmuseum.org Usually Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Chicago has an annual Sankta Lucia church service. We look forward to your visit to our store! The Gift Box/Scandinavian Imports is celebrating 74 years in business in 2021... The Gift Box in Geneva, Illinois has been in business for 74 years.
