Courtney's Holiday Gift Guide 2025

Everyone could use a little inspiration when it comes to gift giving - some of us are great 'gifters' and the rest of us need a little help. I put this together in hopes that there's something for everyone on here. Happy Holidays!

01. A NORDIC FEAST - a wonderful book with fantastic recipes and beautiful photos. Great for the Nordic food lover in your life.

02. SHOT GLASSES - these will make any cocktail hour so pretty and refined. Very modern with a slight vintage flair.

03. PEPPER MILL - yellow is the color for any kitchen and any season, thats why we love this pepper mill. Great for pepper or salt.

04. FOLKE CANDLE - Lägereld is our translation of a chilly Scandinavian winter - a rich woody fragrance of smokey balsam and warm amber.

05. FOLKE LIQUID SOAP - Hem is a fresh and fruity signature scent. It's our definition of a California summer.

06. CUTTING BOARD - a great board made from non-toxic materials that will add color and style to any kitchen.

07. CANDLE HOLDER - very sweet iron candle holders that would pair well with our Danish taper candles.

08. DUSTPAN & BROOM - a small German made dustpan and broom set that's great for kitchen use, for your vehicle or for children.

I hope this helps lighten your holiday load. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
