The holidays are almost upon us. L&rsquo;OFFICIEL IBIZA&rsquo;s Editorial Director Maya Boyd handpicks the Ibiza-inspired gifts she&rsquo;ll be giving (and hopefully receiving) this season.

Ibiza's residents are a prolifically creative bunch. From jewellery to incense to home d&eacute;cor, I'll do all my Christmas shopping here on the island in a way that supports local makers, artisans and our community as a whole. With love, Maya x


<a href="https://www.islandwitchcrafts.com/tienda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A glass jar of Island Witch Crafts smudge smoke blend</a>
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/islandwitchcrafts/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sof&iacute;a Gomez</a> is from Chile but has lived in <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/categories/ibiza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibiza</a> for many years. She creates the most magical incense and smudging bundles from wild herbs and plants foraged in the forests of Ibiza. Along with making <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/coffee-can-increase-life-expectancy-here-is-why" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coffee</a>, lighting a pinch of her Magic Smoke blend is the first thing I do when I wake up. It is uplifting, invigorating and absolutely evocative of the island.&nbsp;

<a href="http://diegoandalexeja.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vassoio recycled copper glass holder and glasses by ChAI ShOP</a>
My dear friends Alexeja and Diego at San Lorenzo's ChAI ShOP have the most glorious taste in d&eacute;cor. These water glasses and recycled copper holders are handmade to their specification in Marrakech. On a summer table piled high with vibrant plates of food, this is the chicest way to serve iced water. Over Christmas, I'll fill mine with warm clove-and-orange scented elixirs for sipping by the fire.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.casagaiahome.com/products/the-boat-bag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Casaga&iacute;a x Ibiza boat bag</a>
This is by my own label so I&rsquo;ll be giving rather than receiving, but my friends can all expect one of my monogrammed <a href="https://www.casagaiahome.com/products/the-boat-bag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Casaga&iacute;a boat bags</a>, which make the perfect clutch or cosmetics case. The print features hand painted motifs of Ibiza, from <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/road-trips-and-skinny-dips-an-indian-summer-in-ibiza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Es Vedra</a> to a finca to the skyline of <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/like-living-inside-a-poem-annie-doble-s-guide-to-her-dalt-vila-neighbourhood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dalt Vila</a>.

<a href="https://www.bomeibiza.com/product-page/natural-leather-pochette-with-shells&nbsp;">The shell pochette by Bom&eacute;</a>
I adore this family-run store in the heart of historic <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/design/spiritual-home-anurag-interview-ibiza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Miguel</a>. I&rsquo;d absolutely love to find one of their gleaming leather shell pochettes at the bottom of my <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/advent-calendar-christmas-2022-beauty-design-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christmas</a> stocking as it&rsquo;s the perfect size for day or night.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArabiaEmporium" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A bottle of Evelyn Naon perfume</a>
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/evelynnaon/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Evelyn&rsquo;s</a> evocative <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/5-new-fragrances-to-keep-at-your-vanity-table" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fragrances</a> are inspired by the ancient trading routes between <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/a-foodie-s-guide-to-ibiza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibiza</a> and the Middle East and are rich in powerful oils like Omani frankincense, Yemeni myrrh and mastic Resin. Salalah has been my signature scent for a long time now and I&rsquo;d be lost without it.

<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eivissa-Ibiza-Hundred-Years-Light/dp/8461102371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A copy of Ibiza/Eivissa: A Hundred Years of Light and Shade by Barbary Press</a>
Martin Davies is Ibiza&rsquo;s foremost English-speaking historian and academic and he has been a mentor of mine for many years. His most famous book, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eivissa-Ibiza-Hundred-Years-Light/dp/8461102371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibiza/Eivissa: A Hundred Years of Light and Shade</a>, is a must-have for anyone interested in Ibiza&rsquo;s history and heritage.

<a href="https://www.supernaturae.com/shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Supernaturae hand-dyed kaftan</a>
I&rsquo;ve been coveting a dress by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/supernaturae/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supernaturae</a> for years. The founder Benedicte Lux creates dreamy one-off kaftans in rural Mexico using natural dyes and hand embroidery in the most beautiful, rich colours. The indigo and grey ones are particularly magnificent. In summer I&rsquo;d wear mine to dinner on sultry evenings with flat sandals, undone hair and heaps of gold jewellery. On cooler winter days, I'd pop a roll-neck underneath and wear with cosy mocassin boots.&nbsp;

<a href="https://m-barkceramics.com/products/wavy-mug" target="_blank" rel="noopener">M-Bark&rsquo;s wavy mug</a>
Hip Santa Eulalia-based ceramics brand <a href="https://www.instagram.com/m.barkceramics/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">M-Bark</a> have a mint green wavy-handled mug that I&rsquo;ve had my eye on for ages. It&rsquo;s the perfect size for my morning coffee and is in a celadon-green colour that I absolutely adore. I&rsquo;d buy three and keep them lined up on a shelf like sculptures.&nbsp;

<a href="https://lagaleriaelefante.com/product-category/home-and-living/art/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One of Emile Durrer Gasse&rsquo;s photography prints</a>
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/emiledurrergasse/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emile Durrer Gasse</a> is one of my favourite <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/art/emerging-fashion-photographers-to-watch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photographers</a> on the planet and he captures Ibiza and Formentera in a saturated, almost translucent manner. A childhood spent on the island means his images convey a nostalgic intimacy and his colour palette &ndash; sea greens, dusty blues and pale, matte sand &ndash; is both calming and transportive. One of his framed prints from <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/city-guide-ibiza-victoria-durrer-gasse-founder-of-galeria-elefante" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galer&iacute;a Elefante</a> would make the ideal gift for any of my island friends.

<a href="https://umiko-kombuchas.com/events/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A bottle of Umiko kombucha&nbsp;</a>
I&rsquo;m a huge fan of kombucha and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umiko.kombuchas/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Umiko</a> is hands-down the best I&rsquo;ve ever tasted. In fact, it&rsquo;s the best drink I&rsquo;ve ever tasted, full-stop! The flavours are crisp and fresh, the colours are bright and it&rsquo;s all handmade here in a little atelier in Ibiza Town. There is one flavour in particular &ndash; the vibrant, spirulina-slaked, blue edition &ndash; that I&rsquo;d be happy to drink every day forever. In heavy glass bottles with beautiful stoppers, these artisan drinks are the perfect alternative to wine and make a special <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/affordable-luxury-designer-gift-ideas-holiday-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gift</a> for your holiday host.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGfd02tywL/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A pair of Scarlett Day&rsquo;s Eye rings</a>
Cult contemporary jeweller <a href="https://www.instagram.com/scarlettdayjewellery/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scarlett Day</a> was raised in Ibiza, where she hand-makes<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/colette-jewelry-a-cosmic-collection-for-the-end-of-year-holidays" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> jewellery </a>using gold and semi-precious stones. I love the graphic simplicity of her Eye ring, which comes in an array of gleaming candy colours. I&rsquo;d buy two &ndash; one green, one blue - and wear on each thumb.
