Create personalized chocolate favorites

If there is a chocolate lover in the family, a box of homemade chocolates will be a hit. Take part in an exclusive chocolate course at Pods of Beans, where you will learn how to make the most delicious organic filled chocolates.

The course takes place in a small, cozy workshop, where you can immerse yourself in the noble art of chocolate for 2.5 hours. Use your creativity to create the perfect flavor combinations. You will receive two boxes of organic chocolates or chocolate bars that you have made yourself to take home – ready to tie a bow on and place under the Christmas tree.

If you would rather give the recipient a shared experience, you can also purchase the course as a gift.

Unleash your creativity and make gifts for everyone

If you dream of a December with a little more cosiness and tranquillity, book an appointment at Restart in Frederiksberg – close to the Fasanvej metro station.

In the creative workshop, you can relax, unwind from the stress and hustle and bustle of Christmas and use your creative skills to make the finest Christmas gifts. You can paint on ceramics or glass, make your own creations in clay, or create beautiful fabric prints on textiles.

You can book a spot for two hours at a time, during which you can also get expert help with your little works of art.

Personalized jewelry – designed by you

Need a personal gift for your friend, mother, or grandmother? Take the Metro to Amagerbro and stop by the cozy jewelry café Beadclub to make your own jewelry.

The shop is brimming with beautiful beads and materials, all hand-picked and imported primarily from Japan, New York, and Paris. You will find everything from Japanese Miyuki beads to freshwater pearls and semi-precious stones.

Try your hand at making beautiful earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or key rings. Prices start at DKK 60, so everyone can join in.

Remember to book an appointment if you want to be sure of getting a place.

Paint on ceramics

It's great to be able to give a personalized coffee cup, breakfast bowl, or vase as a Christmas gift, but if you're not entirely confident in your creative abilities when it comes to shaping clay, you can take a little shortcut at Creative Space in Østerbro—close to Trianglen.

This cozy café has over 100 different pieces of pottery on the shelves that you can paint and decorate however you like. Explore the large selection of paints, brushes, and tools and let your imagination run wild.

When you're done, leave your ceramics with the staff, who will glaze and fire them so they become shiny and usable.

Knit Christmas gifts at cozy Woolstock

It's the season for chattering teeth and freezing toes, so if you're handy with knitting needles or a crochet hook, your homemade creations will undoubtedly be a hit on Christmas Eve.

At Woolstock in Østerbro, you can enjoy the cozy surroundings while your work takes shape.

Take the Metro to Vibenshus Runddel, and it's just a short walk to the small café, which is full of colorful balls of yarn, good coffee, homemade buns, and, last but not least, knitting enthusiasts, so you can always get help if your Christmas gift project is proving tricky.
