Looking for something to get a design lover? I’ve put together a selection of items that might just be up your street, too.
If you haven’t thought of Galaxus as a platform for affordable interior design pieces, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. To give you an idea, here’s a list of my favourite pieces – both in terms of design and price.
1. Aesthetic accessory for your books
Step up your coffee table book game and watch jaws drop with a book stand from Dutch brand Woood. Its slim design will perfectly showcase your favourite photo books and is a beautiful invitation to flick through them. There’s also a version made of untreated oak wood. It costs a little more, but you really get a nice piece in return.

2. Sculptural bookends
In addition to book stands, bookends are great gifts for avid readers and design fans. The Mistra from Kave Home is an iron bookend that combines form and function. It’s characterised by clear lines and rounded corners and sturdily keeps books in place. What’s more, it gives the room an elegant, modern touch.

3. Picture frames with a twist
Umbra’s Flute picture frame proves how a simple design element, such as a sphere, can transform an everyday object into a work of art. The small ball attached to the stand at the back stabilises the frame and gives off a calming and harmonious vibe at the same time. It’s available in two different [formats](/search?q=Umbra+Picture Frame+Flute) and is perfect for anyone who appreciates attention to detail.

4. Expandable candlestick design
It’s no coincidence candles are popular during the festive season – they radiate warm light, create an atmosphere for quiet introspection and symbolise hope. A beautiful holder for your candles is Höfats’ Square Candle available in gold, silver or black. The highlight? An elegant curve provides stability, while two small spikes hold your candle in place and make removing wax residue super easy.

5. Classy source of light
If the person you want to give a gift to has more than enough candles, you could surprise them with the Aura oil lamp from Mette Ditmer. The lamp’s visually appealing blends into all kinds of interior design styles thanks to its subdued shapes and colours – brown, grey and green. On the practical side, the oil lamp’s a handy light source with a long burning time. The advantage over single-use wax candles? The oil can be refilled.
6. Vase with a heart-melting effect
The mini version of the Globe vase from Aytm definitely has a massive cuteness factor. It consists of a spherical glass container sitting on a flat brass base. The clear glass highlights the contents of the vase, while the metallic base provides a cool contrast.

7. Bold chessboard design
The Mana set of three from Oyoy wows with its chessboard pattern that transforms something as mundane as a cardboard box into something special. You can have plenty of fun with the pattern as it’s so versatile. Try combining it with elements of the same colour for a tone-on-tone effect, or purposely add it as a mismatch to your dominant interior design style to shake things up a bit.

8. Design that makes waves
Our quirks tend to increase with age. Maybe you have a friend who’s starting to get upset over water rings on tables? If so, the wave-shaped coaster set Nordic Sea from Broste Copenhagen is an elegant solution to help that person out. The two coasters made of high-quality glazed stoneware are truly unique – each surface has its own, slightly different texture and hue. Thanks to their size, they can hold plates or platters and provide protection from heat or scratches at the same time.

9. Stylish organisers
The grey Organiser from House Doctor is for individuals who love order and aesthetics. It’s suitable for the office, kitchen or living room and will keep letters or napkins to hand. Made of sturdy metal with a non-slip surface, it’s durable and blends in with its surroundings thanks to its plain grey colour. Another plus: thanks to its compact size, you can easily pop it on your desk, on a shelf or in a drawer.
