'round the world roundups

Christmas the gloobles guide

Christmas the gloobles guide
November 2024
BY Hayley Daen

This year, we're aching for more travel. More experiences. More joy. There's so much to see and so much to do that we often have a hard time making decisions. Is Siwa up next or will we be heading to Mount Mtatsminda? 

That's why we’ve rounded up a little list of all the things we’re coveting—for ourselves and our favourite friends. Solo sojourns and lessons in lactics. It's all here...


Hannah, Editorial Assistant

Bongusta Robe
Bongusta

The dry robe has had its moment. Now, for that perfect post-plunge look we are turning to Bongusta. Take it from Hannah, a consummate cold-dipper in Stockholm, who has her eye on this Danish-designed, 100% cotton, handmade Naram bathrobe that is worth a carved-out corner in any overstuffed luggage.

Alexandra, Travel Strategist

Siwa Oasis
Camilla in Siwa

Time with family is one of the things Alexandra loves most, but she's also not one to turn down a one-woman escape. This year, she'd love to ring in the new year with a trip to a naturopathic eco resort in the heart of the Egyptian desert—no kids or hubbies in sight.

Lía, Editorial Intern
great optics
glasses Jimmy Fairly
Jimmy Fairly

In Lía's opinion, glasses are an accessory you can never have enough of. On her last trip to Paris, she fell head over heels for Jimmy Fairly's chic specs. Perfect for all travel jaunts: a city break, skiing the slopes or wandering through the Jardin des Tuileries. 

Antonia, Travel Designer
a purse-onal choice
Pouch
Angie Power

Antonia is one of the best gift-givers we know. Her go-to? An embroidered pouch from Angie Power, a label based between London and Venice, repurposing the finest deadstock fabrics. Timeless, elegant and customisable – initials can be added in gold embroidery.

Kasia, Designer
say cheese!

Kasia Rachuba of globbles

This year, an ooey, gooey, melty, creamy workshop at De Kaasserie is at the tippy top of Kasia's list. Like all of us at gloobles she's led by her palette when it comes to travelling. She may be laying low in the Netherlands this year, but she will be trying all the lactose-full treats from around the globe that are served up here. Gouda stuff, Kasia.

Marie, Head of Bespoke Travel

etra throw
Oyuna

Obsessed doesn't begin to cover Marie's thoughts on Oyuna's luxurious cashmere blanket. Using the softest, sustainably-sourced Mongolian cashmere, the innumerable colours brighten up any day. It's just the ticket for bundling up on chilly airplanes—but it's right at home on a cushy sofa by the fire, too. 

Marilyn, Travel Designer
lounging it
Khasto pyjama set
Khasto

One way to conquer the jet-lag blues is by making yourself at home wherever you land. For even the most fervent of travellers, Khasto's handprinted, cotton pyjamas are sure to step up your sleep game. What's there not to love about a matching set? 

Celeste, Travel Assistant
all about the scents
Santa Maria Novella
Santa Maria Novella

We all love a stocking filler. The small but heavenly scented bar of soap from the age-old Santa Maria Novella are the best treats. For Celeste, no matter where she's headed, popping one of these in her case is a must.  

Bethany, Editorial Intern
pen to paper
crane letter set
Crane

Bethany is a woman of words. This Christmas she'll be saying goodbye to the cards gathering dust at the back of the bureau and instead, sending handwritten notes about her travels on one of Crane's customisable letter sets.

Stephanie, CEO & Founder
museum pieces
Stedelijk
Sophia van den Hoek

We love a museum jaunt. So, this Christmas why not gift a membership to one of our favourite cultural institutions across the globe? MoMA, Stedelijk Museum, Serpentine or the Nezu Museum are just a few on our radar.
