Streetart (also street art, used less frequent-ly because it could be understood as street entertainment) describes various non-com-mercial forms of art in public areas, which the initiator intends to remain there permanently. [1]

We took a look around and gathered lots of great inspiration...

Those who wander the streets with their eyes

open can find large and small works of art in many

places. So open your eyes – it’s worth it!

TIP


In need for good ideas for product presentation?

Try this:

Use your old Euro pallets. A brush and a little paint will

add new lustre to them. Let them dry, then stack to the

desired height. Done!

Wrap various boxes in ARTEBENE gift paper and use

them to build a tower. Now decorate the ARTEBENE

theme world on the pallets.

This is how great looking decoration tables in a totally

new look can be created at reasonable cost.

Christmas celebrations C E L E B R AT I O N T I P S F O R F R I E N D S

For most of us, Christmas time is pure stress. Buying gifts – preferably at the last minute – wrapping them,

making biscuits, writing cards for relatives and friends... Give our anti-stress tip a try. We’ll show you how to

organize a relaxed spontaneous Christmas celebration for friends and family.

How you do it: Just invite your best friends to a cosy get-

together right before Christmas. Together with the invi-

tation, give your guests an empty cookie tin, which you

ask them to return that evening, filled with tasty biscuits,

of course. This will provide you with a diverse selection of

biscuits to spoil your guests with.

To beat the cold weather, it’s best to serve a hot winter

punch or mulled wine. Serve the drink in scooped-out

halved oranges or apples, decorated with cinnamon

sticks and pieces of fruit. THE eye-catcher of the evening.

Physical well-being is taken care of quickly, too: Light the

grill, throw the sausages on, done!

Can you feel your stress reducing already?!

Another tip: To spare you from a time-consuming search

for a good mulled wine recipe, we have compiled a short

list of ingredients for you:

1 litre organic mulled wine

2 organic oranges

1 sachet anise stars

2 tablespoons Cointreau

Heat the mulled wine (don’t allow it to boil). Wash the

oranges and grate the peel to thin stripes. Juice the

oranges. Add juice, peel, anise stars and Cointreau to the

mulled wine. Keep the mulled wine hot and enjoy.

A great idea and a real eye-cat-

cher: Mulled wine in “apple cups”

At Christmas, we all want to give our loved ones something with a personal character that they will enjoy.

For example, homemade apple-cinnamon syrup – a highlight in every kitchen. With this simple recipe, you

will create an unforgettable gift that is not just limited to the Christmas season.

How you do it : Peel the apples and and remove cores. Cover the apples,

cinnamon sticks and sugar with 300 ml water and boil

covered for 20 minutes until soft. To get the juice, put the

applesauce in a fine sieve and pour it over a bowl to drip,

preferably overnight.

Top up the juice with apple juice until you have 750 ml.

Pour juice and maple syrup in a pot and reduce to approx.

500 ml. While hot, fill into bottles and seal.

The remaining apple mass doesn’t have to end up on the

compost heap: boil shortly with a shot of apple juice and

fill the applesauce into jars.

A small tip in conclusion: Add a shot of syrup to hot apple

juice – this is a tasty apple punch for Christmas-time.

It also tastes good when mixed with sparkling wine or

water.

What you need: Ingredients:

2.5 kg apples

2 cinnamon sticks

150 g sugar

300 ml water

2 tablespoons maple syrup

300 ml apple juice


Cookies are the most popular Christmas sweets that nobody should do without. The first small treats in the

form of gingerbread and small biscuits already came about in the time before Christ – primarily during festive

seasons. Today, it’s hard to imagine a kitchen without this sweet snack, no matter what time of year it is.

Here are the most popular recipes from Grandma’s collection

Cinnamon s tars :3 egg whites

250 g powdered sugar

300 g ground almonds

2 teaspoons cinnamon


How you do it : For the cinnamon stars, beat the egg white until stiff and

stir in the powdered sugar bit by bit. Put approx. 80 g of

the egg white mixture aside for the sugar icing. Mix 300 g

ground almonds into the rest of the egg white mixture and

spice with cinnamon. The amount of almonds depends on

the size of the eggs. The dough should be firm enough

to be rolled out. Sprinkle the rest of the ground almonds

on the worktop. Roll the dough until approx. 1 cm thick.

Cut out the cinnamon stars and place them on a baking

tray covered with baking parchment. Brush the cinnamon

stars with the remaining egg white mixture. Let them dry

overnight, then bake them in a preheated oven at 160°C

on the middle rack for approx. 8 minutes.

biscuits: Festive ARTEBENE

napkins for the appropriate

atmosphere


Vanilla crescents :250 g flour

1 pinch baking powder

100 g sugar

1 sachet vanilla sugar

1 egg (medium size)

125 g soft butter


How you do it : Mix flour with baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add all

other ingredients and first mix at the lowest speed (with

a hook), then work into a dough at highest speed. Knead

the dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s smooth.

Form pencil-thick rolls of dough, cut into 4-5 cm long

pieces, roll the ends slightly thinner and form into a

crescent. Place on baking tray.

Baking time: approx. 10 min (upper/lower heat, approx.

180°C)

Sprinkling

Pull the baking parchment with the crescents off the tray

and put the crescents side by side. Sieve the powdered

sugar, mix it with vanilla sugar and sprinkle onto the

crescents immediately after baking. Allow the crescents

to cool and then sprinkle again.

The biscuits will keep for several weeks when stored

in an attractive ARTEBENE tin.

Travel tipF O R S N O W B U N N I E S A N D C O L D L O V E R S

Discover the fantastically beautiful landscape of Sweden in the winter: A guided dogsled tour is the ideal

adventure for all active holiday-makers.


(1)

(2)

Getting to lead your own team of dogs is an exciting

experience in the snowy winter world of the north. And

the dogs are totally in their element! A ride through the

never-ending white means pure pleasure and is a unique

experience that you will talk about for a long time. Along

with the equipment, food and luggage are distributed

amongst the sleds first. Then the dogs are attached and

off they go! At first they’re nervous and pull on the reins.

But as soon as the musher starts with his pack leader, the

rest follow him quietly. Up to the treeless Fjäll the ride

continues through snowed-in forests. For several days

you fly across the carpet of snow on the Fjäll, expe-

riencing Sweden’s unspoiled nature up close.

After arriving at the camp, the dogs are

untied and taken care of. Then the

participants prepare dinner together.

But before the oven can offer some

cosy heat: Time to cut some wood.

Getting water from small creeks or

clear wells under the snow is also part

of the evening work each day.

On the last day of the tour, it’s back to the val-

ley, where the husky farm is. A last evening together

in camp brings the tour to a sociable close.

The length of the tour is flexible and spans from day

trips to tours lasting 10 days. Overnights on the tour

are spent in simple mountain huts, without electricity or

running water.

1. Metre-high snow covers the high plateau of the

Fulufjälls

2. Following the instructions of the musher, everyone

takes care of their own sled of up to 6 dogs.

Chris tmas encyclopaedia

Advent season The advent season used to be a fasting period.

Advent wreath THE accessory for the month of December! Made of pla-

stic or real wood, multi-functional decoration with a pine

tree flair. Usable as a headpiece, spare tire, home training

device or flammable table object.

Food and drink A total of 46,000 tons of goose meat are eaten during

the holidays. In comparison: The Christmas tree at the

Dortmund Christmas Market weighs about 30 tons.

GiftsIn order to hand out all gifts in time, Santa Claus would have

to move at a speed of approximately 1,040 km per second.

For braking to drop gifts as well as for accelerating, he

would have to withstand 20.6 million Newtons – not even

Santa Claus could survive this. In comparison: a conventio-

nal reindeer reaches a maximum speed of 24 per hour.


Santa’s reindeersSanta Claus originally had eight reindeers in front of

his sleigh. Their names: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,

Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen. Red-nosed Rudolph didn’t

turn up until later – the first time was in a colouring book.

Chris tmas tree The average Nordmann fir on Christmas has 178,333

needles and is 1.64 m tall. People used to hang Christmas

trees from their ceilings. The advantage: They didn’t take

up much space and couldn’t accidentally be tipped over.

Maybe that could be a new decoration idea for this year...
