TOP 5: Gift ideas for the season – the most inspiring new products of the month

Inspired by Italian gelato flavours and the atmosphere of a Southern European summer, the shades of the Gelato towels add a cheerful touch to end-of-year celebrations, too.

Somehow, the year is already drawing to a close, and gift season is quietly knocking at the door. We’ve gathered five of November’s most interesting new arrivals – pieces that deserve not only a spot both under the tree but also on your own wish list!

The softest gift of the season

If you’re hoping to wrap up something wonderfully soft this Christmas, Magniberg’s Gelato face cloth set is a charming choice. The playful gift box holds four petite terry towels in four delicious shades – a delight for anyone who loves the season’s color palette!

Made from organic cotton, the towels feel luxuriously gentle against the skin. Folded hems and a debossed Magniberg logo add the finishing touch to this small but thoughtful everyday luxury.

The Stone candleholder consists of five distinct pieces that can be stacked or arranged however the recipient prefers.

An invitation to play

Tom Dixon’s Stone stacking candleholder gives both giver and receiver permission to play. Made from marble, the candleholder is made up of five sculptural pieces that can be stacked into a tall totem or arranged more casually side by side.

You can gift the entire set to one lucky recipient, share the pieces between several friends, or surprise someone special with one marble element at a time. In between candlelit evenings, Stone works beautifully as a small sculptural object all on its own.

Serax's Silos Mini vases are made of glazed porcelain.

Small gift to share

Serax’s Silos Mini vase set is perfectly suited to moments of giving, whether to surprise one person or spread the joy to several. Petite vases are a lovely complement to a pared-back interior, adding just the right touch of colour to a minimalist setting.

A tip from our editorial team: include a tiny flower or a dried stem with your gift. That way, the little vase can brighten someone’s home straight away!

With its sculptural, almost jewel-like presence, the Oyster bottle opener adds a refined touch to any festive table.

A little spark for the festive table

A failsafe gift is something that brings joy to the whole table — and Skultuna’s Oyster bottle opener does so even before the first toast is made! Made of brass and shaped like an oyster, the bottle opener adds a hint of seaside charm to the setting, almost like a gentle promise of summer sneaking into the middle of winter.

Oyster also makes a wonderful gift because it only gets better with time. The brass naturally develops a patina, adding depth, character, and memories of every celebration it has been part of. And if the recipient prefers a brighter shine, a quick polish will keep the opener gleaming for years to come.

The Mt. Fuji and Flowers poster adds a serene touch to any space.

Artful joy for the season

For art lovers, few things are more delightful than unwrapping something creative and inspiring. Louisiana Museum of Modern Art’s poster collection is perfect for that – it gathers together works from exhibitions held at the iconic Danish museum over the years.

One particularly charming example is the poster featuring David Hockney’s Mt. Fuji and Flowers, shown at Louisiana in an exhibition of the British artist’s work in 2001–2002. Depicting a floral arrangement and Mount Fuji in soft, gentle tones, the piece has an easy, calming atmosphere that fits beautifully into many kinds of interiors.

And if the recipient is especially fond of art, don’t forget to explore our curated selection of art books as well!
