Drejerinden (the woodturner Lone Mandrup Stidsen) offers handmade, wood-turned Christmas gifts for those who appreciate design, quality materials and fine craftsmanship. The products are upcycled from discarded furniture and wood offcuts from furniture production.

Among the creations you’ll find wood-turned Christmas trees made from the last pieces, Miss Gabriella – a wooden Christmas angel for candles, and the Advent set Miss Mary with four figures in four types of wood.

At Goldsmith Maegaard in Bogense, the annual Christmas heart has become a beloved tradition. Each year, goldsmith Per Maegaard creates a unique piece of jewellery.

This year’s Christmas heart is crafted in 14-carat gold with a 0.03 ct brilliant-cut diamond. The surface is inspired by the bark of the tree of life – symbolising the traces life leaves behind.

Inside are three small hearts representing the relationships that grow throughout life, like roots that deepen and strengthen over time.

You can also purchase Christmas hearts from previous years.

At the Candle Workshop in Guldbjerg, old candle ends get a new lease of life! Leftover candle wax is collected from near and far, melted down and turned into new candles, all hand-poured or hand-dipped.

You'll find everything from long, hand-dipped candles in a rainbow of colours to traditional Three Kings candles and lovely candle figures – including white angels. The selection changes regularly, with new candles in all sorts of shapes and colours being made throughout the year.

The candle workshop is run by a voluntary association, and you can buy the handmade candles at the shop at Guldbjergvej 43, 5400 Bogense, or via Facebook.
