Batten Home Holiday Gift Guide
Few things are more frustrating during the holidays than hunting for a gift that feels personal and enduring, only to be met with questionable quality or lead times running well into January. We created this guide to bring the delight back to holiday gifting.
We’ve handpicked a collection of beautiful, functional designs that solve the two biggest holiday hurdles: what to get and when it will get there. Everything you see here is authentic, in stock, and ready to ship.
TOYO Steel Boxes
Handcrafted in Japan since 1969, Toyo Steel Co. pioneered the art of pressing a single sheet of steel into a sleek and seamless toolbox. Built to last a lifetime, these iconic boxes combine rugged durability with a minimalist aesthetic, making them a lovely holiday gift for design lovers or anyone needing functional, beautiful storage.
Bergs Potter Københavner Raw Pot Gift Set
One of the first Bergs Potter pots, the Københavner is a noble pot inspired by pottery made in 1860 for the Fredensborg Royal Danish Palace of Fredensborg. It all started when founder Steffen Berg discovered beautiful old clay pots at a former nursery. His discovery, along with his own interpretation of royal pottery, became Københavner, which continues to be one of Bergs Potter’s most popular designs. It’s still made by hand in small family-owned pottery workshops. Københavner comes in a perfect gift set of three pots with glaze colors inspired by the colors of Copenhagen.
Birdie Fresh Air Monitor
Give the gift of better indoor air quality with the bird that drops dead when your air goes bad. In coal mining, canaries were once used as an early warning system for toxic gas; if the bird collapsed, miners knew to evacuate immediately. Birdie applies that same principle to alert you when it's time to ventilate your space.
Featuring Swiss state-of-the-art CO₂-sensor technology, Birdie will let you know when to ventilate your home without the use of light, sound or phone notification. Better air quality can lead to better focus and productivity, better sleep and mental health, less asthma, allergies, and headaches, and no mold or stale air. Since we spend 90% of our time indoors, Birdie is the gift that keeps on giving. Choose between thoughtful colors crafted from recycled plastic or the solid oak wood version. Bundle with the Birdie Stand to give a moveable and functional design object perfect for displaying on a desk, tabletop, or shelf.
Pidät Bird Silo
Made from 100% recycled plastic, the easy-to-use and aesthetically pleasing Bird Silo is a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates observing nature from the comfort of their own home. Helsinki-based birdwatchers Mika and Julie Tolvanen designed it after years of testing prototypes and studying the eating habits of birds seen through their dining room window: “We wanted to design a functional sculpture. We also thought Bird Silo should be a bird feeder whose impact on nature is just feeding the birds.”
STOFF Nagel Modular Candleholders
The iconic STOFF Nagel candle holder is a Danish design classic that consists of several elements that can be stacked and arranged in endless ways to create unique and modular sculptures. Beyond the classic taper candleholder, the STOFF Nagel collection includes modular vases, bowls, and stands. Use the elements to create a centerpiece on the dining table, a striking element on a coffee table or shelf, or even mount it on the wall for a functional wall sculpture. This gift is perfect for someone who values having the artistic freedom to rearrange design elements whenever the mood strikes.
Ferm Living Ripple Glassware
Ferm Living’s Ripple glassware series is one of the most popular designs we sell, and for a good reason. The well-loved favorite features a distinct ripple design that is handmade with love at a family-run factory in the Shanxi Province of China, the first factory of its kind to make glassware in this way. Ripple glassware comes in a smoked grey, clear glass, or frosted glass finish, which can be paired together or mixed and matched. While gifting the full glassware series would be absolutely lovely, each piece can stand on its own, too. Truthfully, you can’t go wrong with any piece from the collection!
FRAMA From Soil to Form Diffuser + Oil Gift Box
Whether you are gifting to your beloved ones or surprising a friend with a thoughtful present, FRAMA's Gift Box is sure to please. Containing From Soil to Form and 1917 Essential Oil Dropper, this natural room diffuser softly releases the soothing scent while helping to purify the air and balance the room's humidity.
Flensted Handcrafted Mobiles
Give the gift of handmade hanging art from Denmark. Designed to create a playful and visual silence, Flensted has been creating silent memories since 1953 with their beautiful handcrafted mobiles. Each piece is assembled by hand with precision and care by local craftsmen in Funen, Denmark. Ole Flensted once said, “Half of the mobile’s life is its shadow. Placement is everything. Hang it somewhere where the light hits so you can experience the movement of both the mobile itself and its shadow.” Each mobile tells its own story.
