Christmas gift guide for design lovers

It may just be the beginning of December, but I’m feeling decidedly festive already. I’m itching to get the Christmas decorations out and make the house sparkle and glow, but there’s so much to do like painting and decorating for the renovation project first. Which leaves me to write up my Christmas shopping list and get ahead with some online purchasing for my loved ones. I love buying and gifting presents, especially if they’re the more unusual finds that that person may not have come across before.

So, I’ve gathered together a selection of choice design pieces and minimal products for the design lovers out there. Hand-picked from some of my favourite independent shops and Scandi brands, there’s iconic design classics such as Alvar Aalto’s vase for Iittala and by Lassen’s Kubus candleholder, as well as beautiful handmade pieces from the likes of Another Country, Cooee and Mon Pote. And making it super simple, you can purchase them all right here from my blog…

I hope you might have found a present or two for that design lover in your life, or even for yourself! I know one of these by Lassen Kubus candleholders will be on my wishlist (I hope you’re listening Father Christmas)…

If you want to see more from my shop, you can click here. My shop is powered by Showroom, who do all the hard work and nitty gritty, so you can be safe in the knowledge that payments are processed safely and securely and your parcel will be delivered in time for Christmas. Also meaning that instead of frantically hitting the shops on Christmas Eve, you can rather smugly rest up with a glass of grog and wait for the festivities to commence…

I’ll be back later this week with two more gift guides for you: one for those interior lovers and homebodies out there and one for those jetsetters who like nothing better than getting away and escaping. Watch this space…
