Gift tips for the chef with an eye for design

Do you know someone who loves to cook and enjoys a stylish kitchen? Then for this person, combine practical tools with a touch of design. After all, these kitchen accessories should be seen:

1. The LookShelf keeps a beloved cookbook at eye level, but also makes for a beautiful eye-catcher in the kitchen. This solid oak bookshelf is perfect for an organized and stylish kitchen. The LookShelf is also ideal for showcasing a book or record collection, displaying treasured photographs or creating a personal touch in any room. A timeless design that fits effortlessly into any interior style.

2. The Plain Bo ards are versatile in use: as a cutting board for vegetables or as a chic serving board for cheese or appetizers - ideal for cozy evenings with friends. When not in use, hang the Plain Boards stylishly on a wall hook, such as the Solid Hooks. This way you not only create extra storage space, but also a beautiful geometric composition on your wall.

3. The TwoTowel is the perfect original gift for any cooking enthusiast. This 100% organic cotton cloth offers two functions in one: a tea towel and a hand towel, always within reach. Tip: Hang the TwoTowel on a Solid Hook for a practical AND decorative addition to the kitchen.

4. The new Angled Tray adds a sophisticated touch to your kitchen and is perfect for organizing spices and oils in an elegant way. Everything is at hand AND looks beautiful! Of course the Angled Trays are also beautiful as a tray for small snacks or to serve a festive drink or appetizer.

Tip: make a complete and personal package by adding a fine cookbook or choose local delicacies as a finishing touch. The combinations we mention above can also be found as gift sets in our webshop!

A banquet table to remember

The holiday table is the place where memories are made. Make Christmas dinner extra special with our conversation pieces: table accessories that not only attract attention, but also instantly create fun conversations.

1. OER dinnerware makes every meal special with its pure and timeless look. The material used also brings a sustainable touch and a special story to the dining table. The service consists of six different shapes that can be combined with each other, perfect for a festive table setting.

2. Combine the OER dinnerware with the Tap Water Carafe for a complete and stylish ensemble. This water carafe is available in a terracotta and a glass version. The terracotta carafe is ideal for serving water, in the glass version you can also perfectly serve festive infused cocktails during Christmas dinner!

3. Use the Chaku coaster as an elegant yet safe solution for serving hot pans and dishes. As easily as the Chaku performs on the table, you can also store this coaster when not in use. For example, hang it on a nice hook or put it in your cutlery drawer.

4. For some extra warmth and ambiance, the Fixum candle holder shouldn't be missing. This contemporary candle holder adapts to different candle thicknesses and is a beautiful statement piece for the table. Tip: combine the Fixum candle holder with our rapeseed wax dinner candles. Made from pure rapeseed wax, these candles offer a sustainable alternative to kerosene candles and have a soft white-porcelain color that perfectly Fixum candle holder match.

5. Finish the meal with a nice coffee or tea in the Pigments & Porcelain or Foarme cups. The Foarme series also offers a nice tray to serve chocolates or petit fours, for example, a nice addition to your festive table setting.

Tip: Give your gift a personal touch by adding a handwritten recipe for a special dish - a small gesture that makes a lasting impression!
