Kristina’s Favourite Christmas Gifts

Growing up in Sweden, Christmas was always my favourite time of year and I love spreading that same excitement, fun and joy to my loved ones. To me, there’s nothing better than finding the perfect present for someone special and then watching their face light up as they unwrap their gift. To inspire you to spoil your loved ones this year, here are some of my favourite gift ideas.

kikki.K Teapot & Cup with Saucer

Svenska Hem Gift Pack

Taking some time out of each day to enjoy a simple fika (Swedish for tea break) is one of my favourite things to help me relieve stress and refocus. Lighting my favourite Scented Candle, I often take the chance to write a card to a loved one to let them know I’m thinking of them. I love the idea of inspiring someone special to do the same by gifting them the gorgeous Svenska Hem Teapot and Cup with Saucer, which features a gorgeous quote to add positivity to their day.

As a stationery lover, I’m a huge fan of encouraging my loved ones to put pen to paper. Our Inspiration collection is perfect for helping people do just that, exploring their dreams, goals, ideas and thoughts. Each Journal in the collection features activities, thought starters and quotes to help your loved ones focus on a different area of their lives: from Mindfulness to 101 Dreams, Gratitude and more.

kikki.K Personal Planner

Leather Personal Planner Ice Blue

A stylish Planner is a great tool for people with busy schedules who want to take control of their days. This Ice Blue Planner is one of my favourites and matches back beautifully with our blue Be Brave accessories as well as our Ice Blue Pencil Case and my favourite gold Metal Rollerball Pen.

Stockholm Maja Bag

This is my favourite bag at the moment and I think it would make a great gift for any style lover. With soft, premium leather and compartments for all of your work essentials, it’s perfect for anyone who needs to take their laptop, notes and work essentials on the move. One of our gorgeous Travel Wallets would be perfect too.

Cute Diary Gift Pack for Christmas

2016 Diaries

What could be better than a gift they’ll love using each and every day of the year? Inspire someone to take control of their appointments, tasks, meetings and more with a kikki.K Diary. With so many different styles to choose from, it will be so easy to find the perfect one to suit their style. One of my favourite ideas is the Cute Gift Pack, which features our much-loved Cute Diary and accessories to match.

I hope these ideas help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

What’s your secret to staying organised?

When it comes to running a blog and managing an online store at the same time, there are often many different deadlines, projects and clients to oversee at the same time. For me, my secret to staying organised and making sure all deadlines are met is to make sure you religiously use a diary, whether it be a paper diary or a digital one. Lately, I’ve been using both. My paper diary is used as a monthly, weekly and general schedule of everything planned out in advance which I later transfer onto my digital calendar into a day-to-day workflow calendar. It’s so much easier when you have everything written in and scheduled out in front of you so that you can easily flip through what needs to get done and also when you can take a break!

Why do you love your Maja Bag?

The Maja is a great extension to the whole staying organised concept as it keeps you organised when you’re on the go. My favourite feature of the bag would be the laptop pouch in the middle – it fits my laptop perfectly and is also handy for keeping important documents and papers crease free when you’re on the go.

What is the one item you never leave the house without placing in yours? 

Probably a few pens (in those built in pen slots!). I always bring a pen with me no matter where I go because I always seem to need to reach for one whether it be for filling in forms or taking down an idea!
