Sourcing a unique Christmas gift has never been this easy!

Christmas comes early in Denmark, and so do these quirky markets. If you’re stuck in a rut again about what to get cousin Ida or how to impress your new high society Hellerup chums, why not try these arty markets?

Nab yourself a steal or even a one-off piece by a talented student at one of these markets- you may end up walking away with a watercolour by the next Monet or an exquisite jewellery box from an upcoming Fabergé!
