Christmas 2020 is fast approaching and we'd love to find some truly original ideas to delight our loved ones. Unique gifts to put under the tree, designed exclusively for those we love! For this, there's nothing like personalized gifts. We've put together our best selection here: glasses, key rings, caps, jewelry, T-shirts and even cacti. Take your pick!
A hand-painted glass by Marin Montagut
If you're not yet familiar with Marin Montagut, now is your chance to discover his wonderful creations. This artist offers a range of glassware, ceramics, and textiles. His unique and poetic world transports us to the delicacy of yesteryear. Each glass is mouth-blown and hand-painted by artisans. Whether you use it as a drinking glass, mini vase, or pencil holder...that's up to you!
For personalized glasses at €55, you can choose between a background of clovers, hearts, or daisies. The first name or word of love of your choice is hand-painted on top.
We already love Louvreuse key rings, which are made in France in exceptional workshops. They are beautiful pieces made from Italian cowhide leather with a gold-plated brass ring. And for the holidays, we're adding a little extra by personalizing them with gold lettering. In terms of design, you can choose between the teardrop-shaped Andy, the round Sonia, and the heart. The keyring costs €30 and the first ten characters of personalization are free. After that, it's €10 for each additional character. A lovely Christmas gift, but also perfect for a housewarming or housewarming party!
Studio Jonesie's embroidered caps, T-shirts, and bodysuits for babies
We already knew about embroidered T-shirts, but caps and baby bodysuits are even cooler! We love the ones from Studio Jonesie, which are hand-embroidered with a wide range of thread colors to choose from. The white or black cap is €40. The baby bodysuits (€45) come in white and navy blue, the T-shirts (€55) in white and gray, and those who feel the cold can even treat themselves to a navy blue or gray sweatshirt (€85).
It's also an opportunity to discover the work of American artistAmy Jones, whoalso creates lettering, illustrations, and murals that you may have already seen in Paris. For example, she has created three pieces atLa Seinographe, the holistic and socially conscious concept store in the 9th arrondissement, for which she also designed the new branding.
A medallion to engrave—what a great idea for Christmas! Why should only newborns be entitled to an engraved baptism medal? Thanks to the lovely French brand Waekura, created by Melissa Artis, we can find the perfect gift to delight our loved ones. First, choose from a dozen medallion shapes, then select from a range of chains in different lengths. Next, choose the font for the engraving and, of course, what to engrave! Name, initial, date, nickname, word of love, mantra, or even a drawing—let your inspiration guide you! What's more, these gold-plated jewels made in France are water-resistant, so you can be sure you'll never have to take your medal off, even in the shower! Depending on your choices, expect to spend between €45 and €70.
Cacti or succulents, miniature or giant, choose the plant that will please your loved ones, then choose the color of the pot, and add a personalized label. A loving word, a first name, a birthday—the choice is yours. Priced from €19 to €129 depending on size, these plants range from 15 cm to 1 m in height for the largest ones. You can choose from different colors of metal, brass, or ceramic pots. Then add €5 for the personalized label. Among the classics, we particularly like the La Rêveuse succulent for €39 in standard size with its matte Lazuli Blue metal pot. All that's left to do is rename it for your loved ones.
