12 PERFECT Gifts To Buy Your Interior-Obsessed Sister, Friend Or Mum

Trine Jensen-Burke

It is that time a year, guys, when we have to put our own wants aside and instead hit the shops (virtual or real) in search of goods and treats that will put a smile on our loved one’s faces.

And if you know someone who is rather obsessed with design and buying lovely bits for their homes, we got you, ladies.

And yes, we are also aware that when it comes to some of these, it might be rather hard to just “add one” to your cart, and not two…

(But if you are lead into temptation, mamas, just know this: You are so goddamn worth it!)

12. Le Creuset Cast Iron Black  Casserole With Gold Handle

This might be a little pricey, but is also an essential kitchen classic. From a fifteen minute pasta to a slow-cooked, fragrant stew; and from juicy roasts to freshly baked bread, this casserole is ideal for so many recipes. And while its main feat is how practical it is, we can’t help but love how amazing this new Limited Edition version with a gold handle looks too.
