Our Christmas gift guide highlights meaningful pieces by Finnish brands: thoughtful, well-made and designed for everyday happiness.
Whether you’re looking for something for the culinarist, the traveller or the youngest member of the family, these gifts are designed to be used and cherished year after year.
Gifts for the culinarist

For food lovers, beautiful kitchen textiles and inspiring cookbooks never disappoint. Bowls of Delight celebrates porridge with more than 50 sweet and savoury recipes. And for the delicious smell of homemade cookies, the Piparkakku gingerbread-scented candle was an instant favourite when launched, and it remains popular.
Gifts for kids

For children, the best gifts are those that are fun to use every day. You can’t go wrong with the Moomins, the beloved characters invented by Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson. They make bedtime cosier and outdoor clothing more fun. For the littlest ones, Ruskovilla’s soft merino wool pieces, including their trusted sleeping bags, keep babies warm and comfortable, starting from the very first months.
Gifts for the home

Whether it’s a quiet home-spa moment or a small update to the interior, these gifts are personal and thoughtful, chosen to brighten everyday life. A soft robe, a sauna scent or wool slippers bring a little extra comfort to familiar routines.
Gifts to keep you warm
1. Down warm duvet, Familon; 2. Aino down coat, brick red, Joutsen; 3. Mio reversible vest, R-Collection; 4. Roma shearling slippers, Vibae; 5. Blaze alpaca cardigan, Alpa; 6. Moominpappa thermos mug, Martinex; 7. Adalyn beanie in mohair blend, Balmuir.Image at right: Lapuan Kankurit
When the temperature drops, these gifts become essentials. A premium down duvet makes winter nights feel like you’re sleeping in a five-star hotel. A warm coat, alpaca knit or layering vest keeps the cold at bay outdoors, while a thermos mug is perfect for daily commutes.
Gifts for the traveller

For someone who is always on the move, practical pieces make the best companions. A sturdy weekend bag or a soft alpaca cardigan keeps travelling comfortable, while small accessories like a sleep mask and a well-curated cosmetic bag make it easier to wind down while away from home. These gifts are ready for the next adventure.
