It’s finally December – the time of the year that we all love so much! The first snow comes usually in December…at least the one that sticks around for a couple of hours. We build snowmen, go ice skating or just throw snowballs. We spend the Advent Sundays with loved ones at home or we get some Christmas shopping done. This is a great time to realize how fortunate we are and to focus on giving instead of taking. Trust me: it can only enhance your Christmas cheer!
As much as we love getting gifts, there’s nothing better than the feeling when you give someone an amazing present. So why don’t you give a nice design piece to your sweethearts?! Something for their homes, where they are sitting by a Christmas tree and feeling happy.

My first suggestion is a handmade ceramic funnel for na iPhone and/or an iPod touch. It was made by the designers Isabella Lovero and Enrico Bosa. The device is working as a speaker and doesn’t need the electricity! The combination of an acoustic performance, aesthetic wood and ceramic design makes this piece a very special Christmas present.

These two tables are made of a chestnut tree trunk and a plane. Because of the visible structures of the chestnut and plane wood, these tables became real masterpieces!
Timeless design meets the naturalness of the wood – simply brilliant!

Even if you’re not a big Christmas fan, you’ll certainly enjoy getting cozy with a cup of hot chocolate and thinking about some nice gifts for your loved ones!

Let me show you some of my favourite DIY inspirations.

Decorate your home with a unique home-made advents calendar. Your children will love it!
Get a wooden board and paint it in your favourite colour. Then put some tape stripes on the board in the form of a fir tree. Now you need 24 clothespins….and of course 24 little presents! Anything is permitted!

Another option for a selfmade advents calender. Print out a picture of a beautiful fir tree and put it on a cardboard. Buy 24 little coloured paper bags and put them on the tree with some pins. Last but not least, get a nice paper star and put it at the top of your christmas calendar tree.

I wish you lots of inner warmth for t h e Christmas time!
