Glass

Mouth-blown figures, reflectors, fruit, animals, stars, and modern novelty ornaments catch and multiply the tree lights.

Paper & cotton

Lightweight ornaments bring texture, handwork, and character without asking every branch to carry glass.

Scandinavian

Lucia figures, straw, garlands, hearts, angels, and painted forms connect decoration to Nordic winter traditions.

Antique & vintage

Older pieces introduce patina and memory. Their differences make new handmade ornaments feel even richer.

Ino Schaller

German papier-mâché Santas, candy containers, woodland animals, Krampus, and Christmas trees, made by a family firm founded in 1894.

Nostalgie Christbaumschmuck

Mouth-blown Thuringian glass ornaments made in restored historic molds, then painted, patinated, and finished by hand.

Vintage by Crystal

American spun-cotton figures with antique inspiration and an extraordinary cast of Santas, animals, and imagined creatures.

Christmas in the North

A Scandinavian thread

In Malmö, Christmas arrives through candlelight, paper stars, evergreen branches, saffron, Lucia, handmade decorations, and the welcome of a warm room in the darkest part of the year.

BON TON’s Scandinavian Christmas selection brings those familiar traditions into conversation with German, French, American, and antique objects. The mix feels local without becoming rigidly themed.

For the Table & Home

Beyond the tree

Christmas lives on the table, mantel, windowsill, and entry as much as it does on the branches. Candles establish atmosphere. Handmade ceramics make familiar foods feel ceremonial. Garlands connect rooms. A single large Santa can greet guests better than a dozen generic decorations.

Choose pieces that remain useful or beautiful through winter: candlesticks, serving bowls, trays, small textiles, scented candles, and objects with enough character to stay out after Twelfth Night.

For a new tradition

Give one handmade ornament and date the box. It can mark a first home, marriage, baby, friendship, journey, or simply this particular Christmas.

For a collector

Notice what they already love, then choose an adjacent character, uncommon color, or maker that expands the story without duplicating it.

For the host

A candle, ceramic bowl, table ornament, or witty decoration feels generous without requiring knowledge of size or personal wardrobe.

Choose two or three elements to repeat: a color, material, shape, or character. Repetition creates continuity while individual ornaments provide surprise.

Vary scale. A large figure, a medium group, and a scattering of tiny details are more dynamic than many objects of equal size.

Decorate in layers. Begin with lights and greenery, add major pieces, then finish with delicate ornaments and ribbon. Stop while every special object can still be seen.

Let existing art, antiques, books, and ceramics remain part of the room. Christmas should join your home rather than disguise it.
