The Christmas presents you don't want to return
A classic Christmas, that's probably what we're longing for when last year's Christmas celebrations boiled down to elbow greetings over an ice-cold mulled wine outdoors. But how do you find those perfect pats that make the recipient both surprised and happy? Or at least don't ask for the receipt... After all, we're looking for durability and it's often difficult to combine it with a gift. And yes - feel free to give money to charity, it's always needed and not least at Christmas time. But... sometimes you might wish a goat in the Congo AND a package. And if there is something that is sustainable, it is the stuff we use again and again, year after year. We have handpicked our favourites. (But don't forget the goat, of course.)
A nice starter kit for new parents. Changing basket and shell from The Straw and the book Small steps Great stories from Stacking Stories
The coffee table book from Stacking Stories has pages where you can stop and reflect on life as a parent. Both fun to write but above all wonderful for your child to read about your thoughts later in life.
From top left:
1. Puzzles are probably the biggest Christmas puzzle. This particular little extra nice one is available at, among other things stateofmatters.com
2. Maternity pants that are A) stylish, B), comfortable C) did we say stylish? Also works when the child is outside and a couple of years old, like 10. You can find them at Boobdesign.se
3. Okay, okay, mobile phone cases may rarely last 20 years, you often change phones and then the old one doesn't fit. But we want to hold on to this beauty for as long as possible. From nudient.se
4. Cirrus No.3 Iron Steamer is both practical and stylish, which is all you want in life. No more toddler wrinkles! Or less often anyway!
5. A modern classic. Yes, now we dare to say it. Patagonia's iconic flannel jacket we haven't tired of it yet anyway.
6. The Christmas present with a capital J for all expectant, or new, or experienced parents. Small steps Great stories is the fill-in-the-blank book that is appreciated for generations. Available in Swedish, German, Danish and English.
7. So a toolbox of good quality is, if anything, the thing that accompanies you through life. You will find this treat in Grandpa .
8. Cords are probably among the most boring things life has to offer. With the Square 1 from Avolt, it becomes a little easier to just. You can find it everywhere - eg here.
