Summer merch 2026
Summer Gifts 2026
For a name day, for travelling, for a visit – and for the hours that need filling.
In Greece it is one of the biggest name days of the year – Maria, Panagiotis, Despina, Panagiota and dozens of variations.
Almost everyone has at least one person to remember – and usually remembers at the last minute.
Order in good time and the gift arrives when it should. If you are in Thessaloniki, you can order online and collect from the store with no shipping cost.
Unlike our other categories, here the character does not matter – the when and the where do.
Do not leave figures in a parked car. The interior climbs far above the outside temperature, and vinyl softens – a figure can be permanently deformed within hours.
Cards need care around humidity. Near the sea, collectible cards warp. If they are travelling, they want a sleeve or a box – not loose in a bag.
And boxes fade in sunlight. If the box matters to the collection, keep it away from a window.
A Greek summer means ferries, long drives and endless afternoons. A card game fits in a pocket and lasts for hours.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I buy for a mid-August name day?
- Something presentable and safe, since it is usually handed over in front of people – a figure, a mug or a card game. If you are in Thessaloniki, order online and collect from the store with no cost.
- What travels best?
- Card games, small board games, puzzles and plush. They are light, they do not break, and they last for hours on a ferry or a long drive. Avoid large boxes and anything with many small pieces.
- Does heat damage collectibles?
- Yes, and it is the most common way a figure gets ruined. Do not leave figures in a parked car – vinyl softens and can be permanently deformed. Cards warp in humidity near the sea, and boxes fade in sunlight.
- What should I bring when visiting a house with children?
- Something that opens and plays immediately – a card game, a small board game or a plush. Avoid anything needing assembly or a rulebook.
- Where can I find these?
- At our store in Thessaloniki (Al. Papanastasiou 100) and online at techbox.com.gr. We ship across Greece, Cyprus and Europe, and store collection is free.
