NUMÉRO NETHERLANDS GIFTING WISHLIST – PART III
editor MARIE-PAULINE CESARI
The season of giving is officially in full sparkle, and Part III of our Gifting Wishlist arrives just in time—because there are few joys greater than finding the present that feels thoughtful, elevated, and deliciously indulgent. From sculptural scents to statement shoes and winter warmers, this chapter brings together objects that light up the home, transform everyday rituals, and make the holidays feel even more magical.
Let’s unwrap, shall we?
LOEWE – Midi Sweet Almond Candle
There are candles… and then there are LOEWE candles. The Midi Sweet Almond Candle is a whole sensorial moment: rich, spicy, sweet, and instantly evocative of holiday pastries cooling on a wooden counter. It smells like the warmth of a kitchen in December, like festive mornings still wrapped in pyjamas. And because each vessel is handcrafted, no two pieces are exactly alike—making this gift feel even more personal. Our tip: keep the pot to use it as a morning coffee cup, you’ll think us later.
GIORGIO ARMANI – 10 Corso Como Bag
When heritage meets contemporary Milanese cool, you get a handbag that’s both refined and quietly iconic. Born from the collaboration between Giorgio Armani and 10 Corso Como under Tiziana Fausti’s vision, this new collection brings Armani’s timeless minimalism into modern day.Available in smooth calfskin hues (ice, amaranth, black, coffee), suede, and a stunning crackled patent… this is the kind of gift that becomes a signature piece for years.
TOPOLOGIE – Puffer Scarf
Winter layering, but make it functional, sleek, and street-smart. The Topologie Puffer Scarf is lightweight, warm, and cleverly designed with O-ring carabiners and webbing that let you secure it in multiple ways.With built-in pockets and a soft quilted finish, it works just as well for mountain weekends as it does for city strolls. A great gift for the practical minimalist who likes their wardrobe cozy but elevated!
MOROBÉ – LANDO 02 SHOES
A little drama, a little architecture, a lot of elegance. MOROBÉ’s LANDO 02 is a sculptural reinterpretation of their beloved LEXY silhouette, now adorned with a constellation of mixed-metal rivets.
Wrapped in supple chocolate-brown nappa leather and finished with an open toe, the shoe hugs the ankle like a second skin. The asymmetric play of rivets catches the light with every step, and the 100 mm stiletto heel elongates the leg with sophistication.
LE CREUSET – Poêle à Frire en Fonte Émaillée
Consider this the ultimate gift for the home chef—or for anyone ready to enter their “storybook holiday cooking era.” Le Creuset’s iconic enameled cast-iron cookware has been the gold standard for nearly a century, and the cerise-red finish feels festive, warm, and unmistakably French.
Perfect for winter stews, roasts, gratins, soups, and even desserts. As the French say: “C’est dans les vieilles casseroles qu’on fait les meilleures recettes,” and with this one, the recipes will be unforgettable.
TOM FORD – Oud Voyager
Seductive, warm, and a little mysterious, Oud Voyager is Tom Ford’s new take on oud — this time made brighter with a touch of floral freshness. The mix of rare oud, geranium absolute, and the soft Living Red Peony™ accord gives it a clean, fresh feeling on top of deeper woods.
It’s sexy but still elegant, bold but easy to wear. A great gift for anyone who loves fragrance and thinks they’ve already tried it all — until this one!
ADIDAS – Adistar Control 5 Shoes
The 00s are calling—and they’re gift-wrapped. The revived Adistar Control 5 blends retro running design with today’s lifestyle comfort. Breathable open mesh, metallic overlays, a grippy rubber outsole: these sneakers feel nostalgic yet totally current.
Ideal for city explorers, creative nomads, or anyone whose style mixes sport, street, and a touch of rebellious optimism. Just be careful… Santa might try to take them on his way out!
CLÒIMH – Chunky Soft Wool Beanie
This adorable beanie is crafted from superfine Scottish lambswool and finished with a thick ribbed knit and double-turn fold for maximum warmth and a clean, modern silhouette. Choosing a colour was nearly impossible, but we finally landed on the Dark Grey / Soft Blue.
CLÒIMH (“wool” in Scottish Gaelic), founded in Amsterdam by Scottish designer Hollie Mercedes Peters, is all about natural materials and contemporary craftsmanship. We’re also obsessed with the brushed mohair pieces and the tiny scarf… honestly, we want to hibernate wrapped in this brand.
