Iittala – Mini glass birds mix 3 set
While most of nature enters hibernation in winter, you’re bound to hear birds chirping in the snow-covered trees. Celebrate these beautiful creatures by getting a set of glass birds from Iittala for your own indoor tree! As miniature versions of Oiva Toikka’s Fly- catcher glass birds, these make for perfect Christmas ornaments but can be used all year round.

Muurla – Moomin Christmas bauble gifts
No Scandinavian home is complete without a Moomin cup or plate lurking in the cupboard somewhere, so why not invite Tove Jansson’s creatures to your Christmas tree too? Handmade from glass, this adorable bauble shows Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden in full holiday mode, with bags upon bags of gifts for friends and family. Tie to your tree with the matching satin ribbon, and you’ll have the first of many collectable Christmas pieces.

Bloomingville – Peo Ornament in brown wool
These three creatures are bound to catch people’s attention over the holiday season! From Danish brand Bloomingville, the Peo wool or- naments feature three happy mice in aprons and chefs’ hats, as well as tiny cooking supplies and baked goods. Could there be any better (or cuter) company than tiny, felted mice baking gingerbread cookies and buns?
Peo Ornament in brown wool, 44.90 EUR
Georg Jensen – Ice flower tree topper
Finally, a Christmas tree is not complete without its topper. Stars and angels have long been household favourites, but here’s something even better; an ice flower. Plated with 18-karat gold, this tree topper might remind you of flowers after the first frost – still perfectly delicate under the layer of crystalized ice. This is, of course, done intentionally, with Danish designer Sanne Lund Traberg taking her inspiration from Karl Blossfeldt’s flower photography and from the beautiful frost in her own garden.
Ice flower tree topper, 102 EUR
Cooee – Paper bird in sand
Danish artist and designer Stinne Bo has partnered with Swedish company Cooee Design to create a stunning piece of décor that works for the rest of the year. Inspired by Denmark’s wintering birds, these paper Birds invite nature inside and cast an atmospheric shadow when sunlight hits the birds’ wings.
Paper bird in sand, 12.50 EUR
