‘Tis the season, whether you are ready or not! We are delighted to publish our first ever gift guide to help you navigate the holidays this year.  Here we present ten essential gifts, all found in Mallorca, that will please just about everyone on your list. So, if you are still thinking about gifts for friends and family, not to worry, we have you covered.

‍

For the hostess

For tableware, housewares and festive holiday decorations, Bazaar Palma is the go-to destination. From wooden salad serves to french linens, candles, ceramics and more, Bazaar has you covered for the perfect tablescaping and decorating gifts. The shop always looks spectacular this time of year thanks to the floral installation by florist Joane Tinons and the colourful, exquisite Christmas ornaments and objects. Bazaar also just launched its 2026 calendar, a collaboration with Jaume Vilardell. This year’s theme is native flowers.

The power of scent

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life; a candle that makes your home feel like it’s in the middle of a field; body lotion that reinvigorates your day; a fragrance that inspires. Using  locally grown botanicals from a regenerative farm, Viti Vinci creates sensuous scents inspired by Mallorca such as Jardins d’Alfabia and Cala Formentor and are available as hand-soap, candles and fragrances.

For the astrologer in your life

A powerful talisman in the form of a beautiful, 23K gold vermeil necklace will surely delight someone special this year. Pola is a Mallorca-based jewellery designer whose designs tell a story. Whether something personal, such as the zodiac or your blood type, or more mythological and romantic, her hand-crafted connect to something meaningful. In addition to necklaces, she has a full range of jewellery including rings, bracelets and earrings. 

Price: 155 euros

A creative experience

Many of us talk about wanting to do a workshop or learn a skill, but we never manage to do it. Why not gift someone the experience of learning a new craft? From weaving to natural dyes, sandal-making and metal working, a gift card from La Escuela Artesana can go a long way and may just open a door to a new-found creative passion.

‍

For the matcha lover in your life

There is really no doubt that matcha won the food trend of the year award. The exquisitely green beverage is found on nearly every corner in Palma these days, and in cafes across the island, because it is delicious. Alameda’s Matcha set is the perfect gift for that matcha lover in your life. Now they can learn the ways of whisking and preparing this traditional Japanese drink for themselves and maybe you as well!

Price: 73 euros

Colour, pattern and style

Step into Folklorious and you’ll find a reason to dress up and go out on the town. From super stylish dresses, jackets, shoes and accessories, the boutique is a riot of colour, pattern and glamour. This handmade small crossbody bag made by Wayuu artisans in Colombia has a long braided handle and is a vibrant way to brighten up your every day. 

‍

For the plant lover

Whether for a colleague, friend or loved one, giving  a plant is always appreciated. Biznaga takes that idea one step further thanks to her ultra creative approach to plant design and her use of handmade ceramic pots or other unique vessels. A gift that will keep on giving long after the holidays are over.

The essential sweatshirt for him

Made from premium cotton so it is soft and durable, the Tamam Sweatshirt from Mews Clothing, available at La Principal, will be the new go-to sweatshirt for that man in your life. Available in subtle shades of taupe, old rose and olive green, this sweatshirt is understated yet refined for effortless everyday layering.

‍

The gift of something handmade

There is always something special about receiving something handmade and with so many talented ceramic artists on the island, offering a small bowl, cup or spoon to someone as a special gift this year is guaranteed success. An alternative idea is to make some bowls yourself at one of the island’s ceramic workshops, and give all your friends and loved ones a special handmade treasure. 

‍

For the love of chocolate

Locally produced Maua chocolates are the perfect gift for a host or hostess, teacher, work friend or loved one – because who doesn’t want to receive chocolate? With a range of flavours and sizes, there are so many options to choose from. Take it to the next level and book one of their chocolate making experiences as well!
