Little gifts, big smiles

Cool mugs for coffee lovers

Sometimes we don’t know the tastes of the person we’re buying a gift for very well, which can make things a little tricky. In those cases, you can choose a gift that’s always a good bet. For example, a mug with a selection of coffees or an assortment of chocolates.

How you give it is part of the fun

Once you’ve chosen the gift, wrap it in a beautiful gift bag or some original wrapping paper to make it even more special. Add a note with a personal message for an extra thoughtful touch.

  • Make it personal: Write a clue, a shared memory or a phrase only the two of you understand.
  • Put together a little set: A DINERA mug and a tea bag; MÅLA felt-tip pens and a drawing pad.
  • Make the wrapping part of the celebration: Add a reusable ribbon, a sprig of greenery or a handmade tag.

Gift ideas for the Tió and Secret Santa

Christmas is full of moments to surprise someone. If you’re looking for Tió gifts that will delight the little ones or Secret Santa ideas that are sure to go down well, you’ll find inspiration at IKEA for choosing something special.

For the Tió, think of gifts that spark play and imagination: a cuddly toy to hug, craft supplies or a train for making up adventures. Got someone to buy for in Secret Santa? A mug, a candle or a decorative plant can turn a small gesture into a big smile. And if you’d rather let them choose for themselves, you can always opt for an IKEA gift card.
