Holiday Gift Set is a packaging design for a collection of consumable holiday gifts. The set contains an 80 g chocolate bar, a 40 g herbal tea package, a 200 g jar of natural honey and a 140 g cinnamon scented candle. The illustrations are inspired by Zemyna, the Lithuanian earth goddess, shown here as a modern figure wearing sneakers and headphones. The long white hair of the goddess recalls snow and familiar festive images. A muted natural colour palette reflects the ingredients. Offset, flexography and digital printing are used.

- Design Challenge
- It was very challenging to create a strong and positive illustration. After three months of creating numerous illustrations, changing the goddess and the colours, we finally came up with a pleasing visual juxtaposition between serenity and excitement.
- Project Duration
- Started in July and finished in November, 2019 in Vilnius, Lithuania.
- Operation Flow
- This simple, but memorable product line offers a way to show your client your honest appreciation. The packaging depicts a natural colour palette that reflects the purity of the products ingredients. The chocolate is unconventional because it comes with bread and honey, an unexpected, but interesting natural combination. Although the holiday gift set depicts an atypical Christmas, symbols such as the goddess long white hair serve as a hint to Santa beard, snow and reindeers.
- Research
- Using muted colours, the design conveys the raw position of the brand. As a result, I managed to avoid the traditional Christmas visual cliches and created a unique and memorable packaging design.
- Inspiration
- Consumable gifts are always a great way to express your appreciation. This holiday gift packaging is inspired by Zemyna, the Lithuanian earth goddess. By giving the land fertility, she protects those who love and care for nature, bringing them abundant harvests and every kind of success. The earth goddess is represented as a Christmas fairy who passes through uncovered fields, magically ripening fruit and inspiring life.
