1. FOR LOVERS OF COLOUR

Nordic design isn’t always known for strong colour combinations but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!

For the design lover who also appreciates a strong pop of colour we put together a gift set combining a wonderful cobalt blue with a hint of red (this also happens to be one of the biggest colour trends this season).

Don’t be afraid to combine different patterns in the same tone. For this colourful Christmas gift set we picked the Mon Amie bowls from Rörstrand, a true design classic, and combined them with the Tuokio plates from Arabia in the same blue shade. Paired with the complementing Alvar Aalto vase in ultramarine and the hanging glass apples in a beautifully contrasting red, both from Iittala.

2. FOR THE HOME CHEF

Quality utensils for the kitchen are sure to be appreciated gifts for those who love to spend time cooking up a storm.

These beautifully crafted chefs’ knives, quality non-stick frying pans and versatile bamboo cutting board, all from Fiskars, are combined in a Christmas gift set that is sure to show the home chef how much you appreciate their efforts in the kitchen.

3. FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO FIKA

There are few things more Swedish than the act of ‘fika’. Build a Christmas gift set for the person who wants to adopt more Scandinavian culture in their life!

We combined some classic Swedish Grace cups, a teapot, and a kitchen towel from Rörstrand with the Kastehelmi cake stand and the sleek and stylish Piano dessert spoons from Iittala. A simple and stylish gift set for those who like to enjoy the cosy moments in life.

4. FOR THE WINE CONNOISSEUR

Perhaps you are looking for a Christmas gift set for that special someone who is a lover of good wine?

For a clean look, stick to one style when combining wine glasses. The Iittala Essence glasses are true design classics that are both stylish and timeless with their simple design language. Combine them with the Essence pitcher which makes the perfect wine decanter.

Complete your Christmas gift set for wine lovers with a bottle of wine, and why not include some cheese and crackers for your loved one to enjoy?

5. FOR THE MOOMIN COLLECTOR

Any collector of Moomin is going to be overjoyed with a Christmas gift set full of items that they can add to their collection.

Arabia is home to a wide selection of Moomin porcelain including cups, plates, bowls and teapots. You will even find adorable Moomin figurines. The only trouble is going to be making sure you pick items that the Moomin fan doesn’t already have in their collection!

6. FOR THE LOVER OF CLASSIC PORCELAIN

Classic, quality porcelain is a timeless gift to give on any occasion. It also makes a lovely addition to any Christmas gift set. You could create your own starter set by including two mugs, bowls, pasta plates, dinner, and side plates like we did here with the Pli Blanc series from Rörstand.

Whether you are giving your gift set to someone who is just starting their collection or adding items to a collection that is already well established, you can be sure the gift of quality, timeless design is one that is going to be appreciated.
