NUMÉRO NETHERLANDS GIFTING WISHLIST – PART II
editor MARIE-PAULINE CESARI
The gift-giving season is gathering momentum, and whether you’re a meticulous planner or a last-minute “I’ll wrap it on the train” kind of person, we’ve got you covered. This Part II is all about pieces that feel luxurious without needing to shout, that make winter richer, homes cozier, outfits sharper, and small rituals feel just a little more special! And yes — this is just the beginning. More chapters are coming so stay tuned!
MAEDEN – MARKET TOTE BAG
Let’s start with the essentials: a beautiful, big bag to carry all the incoming presents (including the ones you bought for yourself; zero judgment here). The Market Tote by Maeden is everything you want in a tote: clean, sculptural lines, a supple suede finish, and craftsmanship that is unmistakably premium. Amsterdam-based under the creative direction of Christian Heikoop, Maeden blends modern vision with artisanal quality and a transparent approach to production.
LAYER+ BY SKINS – WOODY EAU DE PARFUM ENHANCER
For the scent lover in your life (or the one who always steals your perfume) this is a gift that becomes part of a ritual. Layer+’s Woody Eau de Parfum Enhancer is grounded, elegant, and beautifully balanced. Developed with Givaudan, it centers on the signature Georgywood™ note, creating a fragrance that feels earthy, confident, and quietly sophisticated. Wear it alone, or layer it over other scents to deepen them, definitely the olfactory equivalent of slipping on the perfect winter coat!
UGG – CLASSIC MINI PLATFORM
It’s snowing, the wind is sharp, and you still want to look cute. The solution is simple: platform UGGs. The Classic Mini Platform in black gives the cozy comfort everyone loves, but with that extra lift — literally. Crafted in soft suede, they’re the kind of gift that gets squealed over when opened and worn nonstop until spring. Warm feet, taller silhouette, iconic style — holiday magic in shoe form.
SWAROVSKI – MILLENIA CHOKER
Some gifts sparkle but this one shines! The Millenia necklace is a modern classic: a row of clear, precisely cut octagonal crystals set in rhodium plate. It turns a simple knit or black tee into an evening moment instantly, and when paired with matching earrings, the look becomes red-carpet level with zero effort. Because if there is one season that encourages unapologetic shine, it’s this one!
PUMA – SPEEDCAT SNEAKERS
Fast, sleek, and with a fashion history long enough to fill a runway. Born on the racetrack and adopted by the streets, the PUMA Speedcat has been worn by generations of trendsetters and doesn’t plan on slowing down. In bold festive red with white and black touched, they make an everyday outfit feel that much sharper — a perfect gift for any sneaker lover who appreciates a little heritage with their streetwear!
DIPTYQUE – SAPIN CANDLE
The scent of a freshly cut holiday tree, bottled into wax and sealed in a collectible jar — Diptyque knows how to make a moment feel (and smell) cinematic. The Sapin candle is warm, woodsy, comforting, and decorated in limited-edition gold detailing. Light it and the room transforms instantly into the coziest winter evening imaginable. This is the kind of gift that never misses and always gets relit until the last drop!
IRIS VAN HERPEN x NARS – EXPLICIT LIPSTICK
A collaboration that blends futuristic couture with everyday beauty. Iris van Herpen and NARS reinterpret decadence with the limited-edition Explicit Lipstick, wrapped in holographic packaging inspired by the Dutch designer’s sculptural, otherworldly aesthetic. The multidimensional neutral rose shade is wearable yet striking — the kind of color that elevates a bare face or completes a full glam look.
USHI – RITUAL MATCHA KIT
At Numéro Netherlands, we love matcha — and not just because it’s having a moment. We love what it represents: a pause, a ritual, a return to presence in a world that moves very fast. The Ritual Matcha Set is a complete system designed to honor that moment. A beautifully crafted storage base, a refillable pod of ceremonial-grade Uji matcha, and a traditional bamboo whisk that brings it all together.
