Four Brands The Kids Are Going To Love This Christmas

With Christmas just around the corner, now is honestly the time to get your gifting well and truly underway. So let us help out with some gift picks guaranteed to make an impression. Let's start with the kidlets.



Our numerous categories dedicated to babies and kids, has grown like a little mushroom forest after a good bit of rain. They're full of kids lighting, toys, gifts, and accessories, everything beautifully designed with a distinct Scandi look and feel.


To save you from the endless sifting through of products, which could really take a good day and a bit to get through, we've done the hard work for you, and narrowed things down to four brands that will absolutely blow the little ones away on Christmas morning.


Of course, there is plenty more to look at (like seriously, we have SO many kid's gifting ideas), and we definitely recommend you doing so - this is just our little edit of favourites.


Tiny Harlow


Oh Tiny Harlow, how adorable are you? Seriously, have you ever seen a range of doll's furniture this cute? Didn't think so! Owner and founder, Ebony Stevenson, created the brand after realising toys weren't being made the way they used to. The level of patience and care, alongside expert craftsmanship, seemed to be lacking amongst the many toy-making brands out there, and so Tiny Harlow was born with the aim of creating timeless pieces to be enjoyed by many generations.


Each Tiny Harlow piece showcases the brand's distinct style - a fun and playful approach with a boho edginess. Made of quality rattan, each design is handcrafted with care in Indonesia, by a small, family run factory. Their ethical approach to production aims to leave a minimal carbon footprint, whilst still providing durability and quality.

Liewood


When it comes to irresistible adorable fun, Liewood takes the 3 tiered party cake for sure. They create that which hasn't been done before, with truly unique and innovative designs full of whimsy and playfulness. Based in Copenhagen, their designs carry a Nordic flair. Simple and eye-catching silhouettes, expertly crafted from high quality materials, make up the bulk of Liewood's range, which spans various categories including toys, clothing, dining, and accessories.


And for our favourite Liewood picks? Oh, don't make us choose - everything is a favourite! Oh, ok... if we had to pick five we'd choose (in no particular order):


1. Winston Cat Nightlight
2. Leonore Inflatable Pool
3. Mariam Cake Pans - it doesn't get more cute than a bunny shaped cake!
4. Zoe Silicone Straw Set
5. Morten P

Olli Ella


A brand that describes itself as being for nomads, homebodies, and small folk, Olli Ella have created a name for themselves through their recognisable range of woven baskets. Founders of the brand, sisters Chloe and Olivia, describe themselves as children before designers, which is definitely evident in their collections.


We love that every Olli Ella piece triggers the imagination, and instils a sense of discovery and adventure. The Casa Toy Bag, as an example, is something little ones are immediately attracted to, providing hours upon hours of imaginative play! We're obsessed!

Lundby


The Lundby story begins back in 1945, when Grete and Axel Thomsen began designing and crafting doll's houses and furniture to accompany. Their niece, and her friends, all loved the pieces so much, the hobby expanded into a business in next to no time.


For all the little artists, creatives, and budding designers out there, this is going to be their new favourite. Lundby's DIY sets of miniature dollhouse furniture are made from untreated wood, and ready to be painted, glued, bedazzled, and glittered. Imagination is the limit when it comes to creating your own Lundby story!
