Gift Guide: Essentials for a Hygge Winter Indoors, via Urbanara

What to give the host, the in-laws, the new parents, or just yourself this season? Natural, eco-friendly textiles and homewares to add enduring comfort for settling in indoors.

This year, we’re particularly noting the timelessly stylish bedding, table linens, rugs, and sumptuous blankets from Urbanara. The textiles are crafted by makers in Turkey, Portugal, India, and Lithuania with fair trade practices and an emphasis on using only the best quality, eco-friendly materials (New Zealand lambswool, European linen, and 100 percent organic cotton, for example). Many of them are made with untreated, fast-growing, and recycled PET materials (as in the Urbanara Terra collection); all of them are Oeko-Tex certified, so they’re healthful and free from harmful substances. 

Urbanara’s ethos is about creating sustainable, heirloom-quality homewares at a lower price; thanks to their direct-to-consumer structure, there’s no added markup. It’s a combination that quickly made their pieces some of our favorites for gift-giving this year, sure to add winter warmth for everyone on your list.
