Christmas is only a few days away, and you might still be missing a few gifts under the tree. When faced with someone who appears impossible to shop for, even the most thoughtful gift-giver can hesitate. Usually, however, all you require is a little inspiration. To that end, the Vogue Scandinavia team shares the pieces currently topping their wish lists: considered, desirable and anything but predictable
Martina Bonnier, Editor in Chief & CEO
"It is safe to say that I adore excellent craftsmanship and I can not say no to a coloured gemstone, so the thought of finding this exquisite Art Deco piece by David Anderson under the Christmas tree easily fills me with glee. Better yet, the Norwegian jeweller celebrates 150 years in 2026, making this addition to my jewellery box all the more meaningful."
Allyson Shiffman, Features Editor
"This brilliant Gnilmyd Kcab lampshade (co-designed by the great Ann-Sofie Back) would fit right in at my place. What does that say about my place? Mind your business!"
Josefin Forsberg, Senior Beauty Editor
"I’m a self-professed magpie when it comes to my wardrobe. I crave sparkling sequins, feathered hemlines and scratchy calf-hair finishes. But no texture has me in a tighter chokehold than irresistibly pet-able faux fur. Frankly, I’ve never been more excited by the idea of a soft Christmas gift waiting under the tree."

"If this is under my Christmas tree this year, I’ll be a very happy girl. I’m already looking forward to introducing more lace into my wardrobe this spring, and this set would be perfect worn together – or styled separately with a white T-shirt or a pair of denim jeans."
Eleanor Kittle, Editorial Assistant
“I’ve finally succumbed to the charm of the Adidas Taekwondo trainers, so they have now secured a top spot on my Christmas wishlist, even if I'm a tad late to the trend. Their sleek, streamlined silhouette, repeatedly spotted on our fashion interns, Emelie and Alma, was the ultimate convincing factor. I predict these will become my new sartorial staple in 2026.”
Tora Svensson, Executive Assistant to Editor in Chief

"My frequent travels are soon to be instantly improved when this luxurious travel set comes into my life. I can already envision every hotel stay being transformed into a sophisticated home away from home with these sumptuous, cognac-coloured trinket cases come Christmas day."
Jennifer Nguyen, Social Editor
"This holiday season, I’m straying away from the loud and flashy and have my heart set on receiving this wardrobe staple from Swedish outdoor brand Astrid Wild. While it’s seemingly simple, the craftsmanship says otherwise, and I adore how the garment is made out of merino wool and is light enough to be a base layer when hiking but thick (and polished) enough to be worn in the office. Definitely a gift that keeps on giving!"
Charlotte Moss, Fashion Assistant
"I love statement jewellery, and this bracelet immediately caught my eye. I’m heading on a warm winter holiday after Christmas and I can easily imagine styling it with a simple linen dress and flat sandals. It would be such a nice piece to have with me, if it happens to make its way under the tree."
