3 Gift Guides: My Pick of Beautiful Danish Glassware for Every Style



Sponsored by Pernille Bülow - all words and photos are my own. I only ever work with brands I love and think you will too. 

Yes, I know it's early November, but 'the early bird catches the morning worm' as they say - and I wanted to make sure you hear about Pernille Bülow's beautiful items in order for them to arrive before Christmas - after all, it could take a little while for the elves in the Baltic sea to craft, pack and send!  

You may recognise the name, Pernille Bülow is a glass atelier on the Danish island of Bornholm producing the most beautiful, sustainable and handmade glassware. I have featured their dinnerware, mouth-blown lighting and Christmas decorations quite a few times over the years as they are one of my favourite Scandinavian ateliers. And last December, I even paid them a visit in Bornholm on a snowy weekend!

This year, I thought I'd create three ultimate gift guides - each capturing a beautiful selection of hand-picked items from their atelier, photographed in my home and studio. I hope you find something special for family and friends - and maybe even a little pressie for yourself! 

Gift guide for those who love Christmas and entertaining

In my mind Christmas ornaments make the best presents. Who doesn't love a tree filled with memories and personal touches? The same goes for glassware! 

From sparkling glass drops and mouth-blown baubles to gleaming Optic plates and vases, here's my round-up of presents that includes everything you or a friend will love for decorating and entertaining for years to come. 


Gift guide for those who love handmade




There's something special about items that have been made by hand. Perfectly imperfect, no two items are the same and really give a home a soul. Here is a round-up of six lovely handmade pieces from Pernille Bülow that would make the perfect present:


Gift guide for those who love sustainably made pieces



And for my third and final gift guide, it's all about glassware that has been thoughtfully made with the planet in mind. From candlesticks and jugs to beautiful lighting made from recycled glass waste from the pharmaceutical industry - there's something for everyone! 


I hope these gift guides are helpful - and that you treat yourself - or friends and family to something special.

Is there anything that caught your eye in particular? If so, it's time to drop a few hints to those near and dear ;) 

In case you feel like paying Bornholm a visit one day, here is my winter travel guide guide - filled with Christmas markets, restaurants serving delicious locally grown produce, wintery walks along the coast and as well as where to shop.  It's an incredible island in all seasons! 

If you'd like to see a little more inspiration today, here are a few features I've shown in the past: 


Have a wonderful weekend - I'll be back Monday with a very exciting home tour, see you then!

  1. It was just wonderful visiting with Pernille Bulow's , glassmaking:) then a snowy weekend at Bornholm, the Bulow pendant and sky lamps( mon favori) ending with a drink at your cottage and Helen's at Jul. Each Bulow piece seems rare, ethereal and meticulous.

    Thank you for a dreamy, lovely Friday morning, and am excited to share these:)

    1. There is something so special about hand blown glass - the little imperfections, the lopsidedness - glassware to be cherished.

  3. I have a similar candleholder to the bauble one of yours, and it is one of the favourite pieces of mine. It is slightly milky, not entirely pink and not entirely mauve (more like something in between) and it is only about 5" tall, but from the moment I brought it home it has been the object of my affection.
    I am always fascinated how we seem to be attracted to some objects more than to others.

    1. Oh wow! That piece is a real showstopper. I can understand why you would love it. Some items in the home are purely for function, others for form and function - but it's the special ones that make you happy every time you see them that are the real keepers!

  4. This site soothes me. I live in a large american city that has generic developer taste and very little historic fabric and I find it so calming to spend time to view these posts and see the beautiful spaces! Thank you!
