Eleven gift ideas for Christmas

When is the most special time for giving and receiving? It just has to be Christmas. And while some people start thinking long in advance about what to put under the tree for family and friends, others are still searching for the perfect gift right up to the last second. Whether you’re an early bird or a last-minute shopper: these eleven gift ideas from Villeroy & Boch are sure to be delightful surprises under the tree.

1.La Boule

Clever, stylish and a real design statement: the new edition of the Sphere, designed by Helen von Boch in the 1970s, is a perfect gift for anyone who loves design combined with functionality. La Boule is both a very eye-catching feature on a shelf and a tableware set for two. Whether you choose the Toy’s Delight look for Christmas dinner for two or any of the other five patterns – from white to multicoloured – the recipients are sure to love their La Boule.

2.Hurricane lamps and scented candles

Time for relaxed moments: in winter or summer, candlelight creates a restful and homely atmosphere. Beautiful hurricane lamps in different designs – from a minimalist cool slate look to relaxed and natural – now available from Villeroy & Boch. And with their delightful fragrances of vanilla, patchouli or fresh fruits, scented candles in porcelain mugs will double the feel-good factor.

3.Vases can do more

Beautiful vases that look good even without flowers are always a pleasure to receive. Simply match the style to the taste of the recipient: Manufacture Collier impresses in five different colours – white, black, beige, taupe and terre – with a matt surface and textured relief decor. These vases look particularly elegant in minimalist interiors. With the Lave Home vases, no two items are the same: inspired by the trendy pottery look, they convey a light and relaxed attitude that is perfect for boho-style homes and individualists.

4.Christmas lighting down to the last corner

Whether it's a windowsill, entrance area or coffee table - the dimmable Seoul and Naples battery lights in red, gold and silver or the LED light trees and stars can conjure up cosy lighting moods during the Christmas season. As a gift, the battery lights from Villeroy & Boch are particularly convincing. The recipient can use them in a variety of ways all year round. Without tangled cables and independent of the nearest power socket, they illuminate even the last corner of the balcony or garden and provide discreet light for the coming summer celebrations.

5.From tree decorations to biscuit plates

For anyone who can’t get enough of Christmas and wants to start decorating their entire home in festive-wintry style right at the start of December, Christmas decorations are an absolutely perfect gift. Beautiful, high-quality small and large porcelain figures, Christmas tree decorations or a large biscuit plate will make the eyes of Christmas fans light up.

6.Glasses that sound

High-quality glasses are always a good gift idea. From winter patterns for Christmas fans to unusual slanting rims, extravagant shapes, a black stem or colourful looks – there is something to suit every taste in Villeroy & Boch’s wide selection. And you can raise a toast together as soon as they’re unwrapped.

7.Individual pieces in a pottery look

The pottery look is an enduring trend. The Lave and Crafted collections offer a wide selection of colours and shapes in this relaxed look: organic or round, beige, blue or grey, in porcelain or earthenware – choose, combine, give and spread happiness

8.Cake stands

On the breakfast table, for high tea or as a stylish design object on the sideboard: cake stands are always eye-catching. At Villeroy & Boch, you can find cake stands with Christmas patterns, exotic decors, in rustic wood looks, elegant black-gold art deco style or puristic white with gold highlights. Whatever you choose, the excitement of unwrapping is guaranteed.

9.For children

Are you looking for gifts for children or grandchildren? And maybe something a bit different instead of another toy? Children's crockery decorated with the feel-good “Happy as a bear” or “Hungry as a bear” patterns is a great idea: the colourful pictures are a fun way to encourage kids to eat healthily – child-friendly cutlery and glasses featuring prints of the two cute bears complete the effect.

10.Mugs for home and away

A small but beautiful gift: a mug. You can find a wide selection of shapes, colours and decors at Villeroy & Boch. Rounded or straight, with or without a handle, in vibrant shades or a single colour, with graduated colour effects or textured reliefs, for home or away. Funny sayings, letters or stylised landmarks from a favourite city add a personal note to the gift and make it even more likely to become the next favourite mug.

Are you looking for an ideal gift for active coffee lovers? Villeroy & Boch’s To Go mug is the perfect choice: made entirely from porcelain, in two sizes and with different decors, it ensures that coffee on the go tastes every bit as good as at home.

11.A new look for the bathroom

Giving towels as a gift sounds rather unspectacular to some people. However, giving high-quality bathroom textiles that match the colour scheme of Villeroy & Boch's bathroom furnishings is a very personal gift that the giver has really put some thought into. With its Powder, Fog, Sage Green and Indian Summer colours, the One Collection terry towelling collection is a perfect match for the Artis bicolour washbasins. Soft natural shades such as Sand, Cashmere and Chocolate are coordinated with the wood look of the Subway 3.0 bathroom furniture from Villeroy & Boch. Hardly any other manufacturer offers such a wide range, with which you can furnish your home stylishly down to the last detail and pamper your loved ones.
