BASE, HEART & TOP NOTES — SCENTED CANDLE WORKSHOP IN THE GRAEFEKIEZ WITH GARDEN STATE

BASE, HEART & TOP NOTES — SCENTED CANDLE WORKSHOP IN THE GRAEFEKIEZ WITH GARDEN STATE

Earthy aromas, fruity notes and fresh scents fill the room as Garden State founder Maya Sriqui expertly and charmingly guides us through the world of fragrances in her “Scented Sensation Candle Workshop“. In her new store and studio at Graefestraße, you can learn how to pour your own candles on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Dive into a world of botanical fragrances from France — sandalwood, fig, lavender, and more. There is also a lot of love behind her concept. Behind each aromatic marvel is a carefully perfected recipe and a touch of philanthropy—plant-based, vegan, and a portion of proceeds supports global animal welfare. In her cozy store in Graefekiez, you will find her own creations as well as a lovingly curated range of products from local artists and manufacturers. From vegan beauty products to baby accessories, jewelry, a dried flower bar and ceramics, there is a whole range of beautiful pieces to discover here. If you’re looking for a special gift, you’re sure to find it here. Garden State is the perfect destination for unique gifts, and we’ve already decided on our Christmas present: a ‘Scented Sensation Candle Workshop’ with Maya and her team.

WINTER MARKETS PART II — A WEEKEND FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH DELICACIES, FRESH INSPIRATION AND LOCAL BRANDS

WINTER MARKETS PART II — A WEEKEND FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH DELICACIES, FRESH INSPIRATION AND LOCAL BRANDS

Christmas is getting closer, the days feel shorter every day and December has barely begun before the pre-Christmas chaos sets in. Secret Santa, Christmas parties, writing cards, getting presents (and wrapping them), the list goes on. This weekend you can cross at least one item off your long to-do list, because Berlin is once again offering a weekend filled to the brim with pop-ups – the perfect opportunity to support local brands and grab some great gifts for your loved ones (and yourself). On Friday (08.12.2023), you can start your winter market tour with an aperitivo at Atelier.süd in Kreuzberg and browse through a curated selection of inspiring brands. Hand-woven bags by rayas, colorful lanterns from Japan by kombini kiosk, ceramics by Wendy Taylor &&& – it will be hard to leave empty-handed. If you can’t make it on Friday, the pop-up will take place all weekend – snacks and wines from Slovenia will be awaiting you too! If you want to start your Saturday or Sunday with freshly baked pastries, coffee and apple punch, then Taktil is the place for you. With a warm drink in your hand, you’ll find jewelry by Elena Tezak and yccij (youcancallitjewellery), limited edition hats and bags by Studiomilch and handmade boxes by vier ecken. On Sunday (10.12. and 17.12.) you should definitely stop by for the soft launch of Velella.

The event studio in Wedding is a new project by Chelsea Turowsky, who you probably already know from her breathtaking event and catering designs, as the founder of the Berlin jewelry label Miglé and other personal projects. The space will be inaugurated with a winter market that invites you to linger — and has probably the most beautiful gifts this year. Here you will find works by artist Charlotte Adam, candles by Luce and the comfiest pajamas by Tom Àdam. After the weekend, your wallet might be a lot lighter, but your gift-giving and seasonal joy will be all the greater.

IT DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE NEW: EBAY PRE-LOVED POP-UP ON KU’DAMM

IT DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE NEW: EBAY PRE-LOVED POP-UP ON KU’DAMM

Instead of shrink-wrapped new electronics or brand new cashmere scarves, there is an alternative this Christmas: true to the motto “It doesn’t always have to be new”, the eBay Pre-Loved Pop-up (01.-03.12.2023) on Ku’damm offers gifts that combine sustainability and uniqueness. The selection ranges from great toys and special souvenirs with a Berlin touch to refurbished electronics from top brands, all of which can be purchased via QR code on eBay.de – some can be collected right there, others can be conveniently delivered to your home. In addition, eBay dealers explain how different products are refurbished, cleaned and checked before they go back on sale. With the eBay Pre-Loved Pop-Up, eBay promotes a more thoughtful approach to (holiday) purchases and illustrates the extent to which gift-givers have their finger on the pulse. Sarah Anna Hartmann, known for her unique DIY and upcycling interior projects, and twins Julian and Marian, who will be offering tips and tricks on DIY, will also be appearing at the pop-up.

WINTER MARKETS PART I — SUPPORT LOCAL DESIGNERS & CURATORS THIS CHRISTMAS

December is the season for glühwein, Christmas decorations, and Winter markets! As the temperature drops, there’s nothing Berliners need more than cosy indoor activities to stay warm and inspired. We’ve compiled a list of the best Winter markets happening in Berlin this weekend (01.–03.12.2023). It’s all happening in Kreuzberg. Studio Linné’s Holiday Market will be showcasing the work of Berlin-based designers and curators. With designer fashion, vintage, glassware, knitwear, and so much more, this is one market not to be missed. Stop by on Friday evening (01.12.) to catch DJ sets by Refuge Worldwide. Avoid the last-minute stress and get your Holiday shopping in early at Helka Ceramnics Gift Shop. Shop Helka’s handmade dinnerware and ceramic objects, Sac Objects knitted creations using deadstock materials, and Oni Studio recycled silver and gold jewellery. DAMV Architektur is transforming its office space to host the DAMV Design Shop Xmas Edition. Discover interior design objects, ceramics, and fashion accessories. You’ll also get the opportunity to mingle with local creatives while enjoying a glühwein or steamy apple punch. If you’re not shopped off your feet yet, head over to Mitte where SNS Berlin is hosting a local creative market, Stuff, in their basement. It’s safe to say you’ll be able to get a good chunk of your Holiday shopping done here. Plus you can treat yourself on the day with a new tattoo, tooth gem, flowers or manicure. Next, stop by Pop Up Culture for a curated selection of designer and archive fashion. Expect timeless designer pieces, iconic labels, rare archive fashion finds, and selected 90s and 00s collections. Over in Friedrichshain “berlin, textile coop.” is hosting its first edition of its Design Christmas Market. Discover textiles from Panorama Fabrics, Jasmin Viola Sermonet, Jukka Samuli Herttua, and more.

FIND SOMETHING NICE AND DO SOMETHING GOOD: VOO STORE X OPERNDORF AFRIKA CHARITY MARKET

FIND SOMETHING NICE AND DO SOMETHING GOOD: VOO STORE X OPERNDORF AFRIKA CHARITY MARKET

In the middle of Kreuzberg, in the backyard of Oranienstraße, you will find the concept store Voo, which has been open for 13 years now, and right next to (or rather in front of) the fashion hotspot, VooSpace recently opened its doors as an exhibition and event space. On 24. and 25.11.2023, the second edition of the Charity Market for the benefit of Opendorf Africa will take place: From donated new goods from more than 40 labels, ready-to-wear pieces from 032c, Closed, Kasia Kucharska and Paloma Wool, among others, to sneakers and accessories, interior pieces, beauty products from Aesop and L:a Bruket as well as overnight stays at Raus or The Hoxton – at up to 30 percent off. The goal is clearly defined: to raise a large sum of money for Operndorf! All proceeds will go directly to the organization’s projects in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Founded by artist Christoph Schlingensief in 2009, Operndorf in Burkina Faso is a local charity that is now largely managed by his wife, Aino Laberenz. True to its guiding principle of “Learning from Africa”, the art and education project offers a platform for cultural exchange and post-colonial discourse in order to present a differentiated image of Africa.

To date, an elementary school, an infirmary and residences for international artists have been created in the space provided by the Burkinabe government, around 30 kilometers from Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou. Nigerian-Italian artist Diana Ejata is also exploring her own African heritage and the revival of African aesthetics as part of the “Art in Residence” program at Operndorf, donating 100 limited edition prints for you to get your hands on. All accompanied by MoschxAries’ pop-up bar and DJ sets from Alex Huber and Alyssa & Gia. So it doesn’t matter whether you end up going home with or without a bargain Highsnobiety sweater or whether you simply make a donation: Stopping by means showing support.
