It seems like everyone these days is talking about hygge (hue-gah). Winter truly is the best time to explore this new idea. If you’re a fan of all things Scandi, but you’re unsure what this buzzword actually means, don’t worry. We’ll help you get acquainted with the concept. We’ve picked a handful of books and gifts that will help you achieve hygge in your life.
They say that hygge, from the Danish, is all about taking pleasure in everyday things and experiences. This could mean reading a book, making coffee, doing the washing up, or the simple act of lighting a candle at dinner. It’s about living fully and gaining an awareness of the space you’re in and every action you are undertaking, however everyday or commonplace.
Our friends at Utility have curated some wonderful books to help you get in the cosy spirit, and we’ve sourced some products that truly embody this Scandinavian ideal.

Of course we know that hygge is a way of being much more than a collection of things. However, we love the excuse to curl up, be cosy, and drink some mulled wine. It’s what fireplaces are for!
