How to make science fans of all ages happy this holiday season: Discovery and Levenhuk update the Xmas gift list

The Christmas season is in a full swing, so everyone is trying to check off their gift list. Searching for a perfect gift often ends in last-minute panic shopping. Although this year’s outbreak of COVID-19 makes the festivities and even Christmas shopping complicated, Levenhuk and the Discovery Channel will be your lifesavers this year! If your kids or other family members are fans of space, biology, or nature – our devices will be the perfect gift. Launched in late September, the successful collaboration between Levenhuk and the Discovery Channel offers you many gift ideas: from the entry-level microscopes for kids to the professional use models of telescopes.

Having thought of you and your loved ones, Levenhuk and Discovery have rounded up several desirable gifts for this Christmas. Thanks to some special offers, you can easily find a gift for your kids under €60 and discover more high-end positions that would please any connoisseur of science and technology.

Speaking of gifts for adults: the optics produced by Levenhuk (a top-sale leader in the field of optics in Europe) and endorsed by the – just as popular – Discovery Channel (surely broadcasting on almost every TV set) will make a win-win gift option if you are looking for something special, branded, and of top-quality. Moreover, the fact that Discovery has cooperated with Levenhuk speaks volumes as the Discovery Channel sets high standards. This company is unlikely to risk entrusting its name to any company with questionable status, experience, or reputation, and why should they? Levenhuk sales have been growing at an impressive rate. The biggest retailers should consider adding a couple of extra shelves to their offline stores and a few new tabs to their online stores to put the Discovery series by Levenhuk there by Christmas.

After all, when the holiday shopping begins, and the stores are overcrowded, some customers just want to make a quick buy, and most likely, the only thing they have time for is to read the brand name on a box. Such brands as Discovery, Apple, or Samsung speak for themselves and do not need to prove their quality and leadership in the market. That is why it is a safe bet to invest in branded goods during the Christmas holidays. People often do not have time to read reviews, ask for advice, walk between the shelves, and try on the purchase – most likely they focus on trusted brands that are booming in popularity.

If you are the kind of person who prefers to shop for Christmas in advance, it is time to check out the Discovery series.

For example, the  Discovery Micro microscope is attractive in price as well as in its color design. For a reasonable €45 price, there are five universal colors to choose from. If a kid is picky about a color palette, a classic blue and a classic red will be right up your alley! However, the marine model is a true bestseller.

For all busy moms out there, who might want to buy this microscope: good news! Discovery Micro does not take up much space and has a compact and lightweight design. If you have not yet succeeded in teaching your kid to tidy up, this microscope will not clutter up the table, creating even more mess in a room.

As for the settings, the device is easy to use. However, you should consider the age of your kid or explore how it works together for the first time. If a kid is ready to study the microworld on their own, the kit comes with a colorful comprehensive " The Invisible World" book of knowledge. This book contains all of the necessary information about the "hidden" side of the environment that can be seen under the microscope only.

As for the adults, you might want to consider a slightly higher price tag. For example,  Discovery Range 50 is one of the most popular spotting scope models. Comparing prices: yes, you will pay some extra money for high quality, but exploring the world with a spotting scope is surely no less of a fantastic experience for an adult than experimenting with a microscope for a kid. Especially if it is a gift for someone who loves traveling and wants to explore more than our eyesight allows. In this case, a telescope is an excellent gift that guarantees a lot of memories during the next trip to the countryside.

For those who work with jewelry or prefer something more compact, Levenhuk and Discovery have also designed mobile microscopes. For example,  Discovery Artisan 256 is as functional as a stationary microscope. It might be a great luxury gift for those friends or relatives who "have everything". Or if you are planning it as a gift from several family members at once: the price is fair given the brand name and quality of the product.

All in all: it does not matter which one of the above-listed devices will end up under the Christmas tree. The vivid impressions and unforgettable emotions that our products will give you and your loved ones are much more valuable than any other holiday gift can provide.
