We have curated the perfect gifts to practice Hygge, or the art of self-care by which your loved ones can rediscover the power and beauty of the simple things in life.
1. Skeem Design Talisman Soy Candle ($24): Give your loved ones the gift of protection with this beautiful soy wax made with 100% natural oils. The very unique formula uses an essential oil blend inspired by the 15th-century legend of French bandits who used this formula to protect themselves from the plague. With notes of clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and lemon, it is believed to preserve the health of those who use it. The design is based on a mystical talisman, which is considered to be a magical object that provides protection and gives good luck. And your loved one will certainly feel your good wishes when this well-rounded scent lightens up the long winter days ahead. I can’t imagine a more Hygge moment than a cozy night in with this beautiful candle and a good read.
2. Skeem Design Violet Match Cloche ($30): The perfect complement to a luxurious candle, this cloche elevates the humble match to a stunning statement piece of home decor.
