Holiday Gift Ideas from Around World Showcase at Epcot

World Showcase in Epcot is one of my favorite places to shop at Walt Disney World Resort. With Holidays Around the World returning to Epcot, I recently spent some time strolling through the 11 World Showcase pavilions looking for great gift ideas. Here are a few highlights from my travels.

Mexico Pavilion – Look for spirited chocolates from Jose Cuervo and Kahlua, along with assorted traditional ceramics in the Plaza de Los Amigos.

Norway Pavilion – The Puffins Roost is home to winter sportswear by Helly Hansen and Laila fragrance gift sets by Geir. This pavilion will also offer a new skin care line called “Skin of Norway by Geir,” which will be only found at Epcot for the next six months.

China Pavilion – The House of Good Fortune offers festival ornaments, exquisite crystal jewelry, fine tea sets and merchandise with pandas (who doesn’t love panda bears?!).

Germany Pavilion – This pavilion has Werther’s Original Caramel in Karamell-Küche, beautiful Reinhard Herzog blown glass ornaments and ornate cuckoo clocks. Look for the Christkindlmarkt located next to the pavilion, which will again offer a Werther’s Original Hot Salted Caramel drink during the holidays (it’s delicious). I also thought the steins with pieces from the Berlin Wall were very unique!

Italy Pavilion – Find panettone, a traditional Italian fruit cake, in Buona Festa, and frangrance gift sets in Il Bel Cristallo.

The American Adventure – I recently shared details in a previous Disney Parks Blog article about the unique “American story” gifts in Heritage Manor. New to the shop are a holiday book by Deanna Bufo Novak that can be personalized and penny themed jewelry.

Japan Pavilion – I love the handbags by Shinzi Katoh bags found in Mitsukoshi. This shop also contains lovely scarves, hair accessories, pearl jewelry, toys, games and more.

Morocco Pavilion – In this pavilion, look for ornate jewelry and beautiful wooden boxes.

France Pavilion – Find fragrance gift sets in Plume et Palette & La Signature shops. The Galerie des Halles carries the specially designed Holidays Around the World ornament plus other French-themed items.

United Kingdom – The Tea Caddy carries two lovely Twinings teas – Mint Humbug and Jasmine Pearl – presented in decorative baubles. You can also find jewelry by Kitt Heath as well as merchandise for aspiring Time Lords.

Canada Pavilion – The Northwest Mercantile now carries coffee and hot chocolate from Tim Hortons. Look for other delicious candy, warm blankets and two cool story books by Nicholas Oldland.
