You swore never again to settle for a bland gift card during the Holidays? Don’t panic, the Do It Team has slipped into Santa’s boots to find gifts that stand out! The rendezvous is set at the most stylish pop-up shops of the season. This year, we’re offering everything to pimp your home with stunning vintage pieces, plenty of funky finds, and even ultra-charming countryside touches. Not to mention, handmade clothing and treasures of Korean beauty. Ready for your stockings?
For Vintage Décor
For a curated selection of enchanted vintage objects, head to the Les Objoies pop-up, dedicated to arty home décor. The inspiration? Flea markets, and especially unique and quirky pieces in various colors and materials. Go there to add a bit of history and nostalgia to any décor: the vintage pieces selected by Objoies give you plenty of choices. Adopting or gifting an Objoie (object + joy, too cute) is also about recycling and reusing, but with a personal touch. Beautiful gesture!
Want to bet on your favorites? You’ll fall for the Wavy champagne glasses with a very crooked base (€12). A team favorite, the set of 4 spiral-handled cutlery (€86), totally stunning and unexpected, will surprise any guest. Silverware and tableware will also be part of the fun.
Les Objoies, Pop-up Holiday Shop, 5 rue du Grand Prieuré, Paris 11th, from December 17 to 23.

For Upcycled Handmade Clothing
In the heart of the Christmas frenzy, the Studio Emmaüs collective arrives for the holidays with the first edition of the Upcycling Christmas Market in central Paris. The concept? In a professional reintegration approach, Emmaüs workshops give employees the chance to regain confidence and dynamism throughout the year by enabling them to create desirable goals with their own hands.
The creations from 7 upcycling workshops (R/, Atelier Regain, Coup de main, Les Inventives d’Emma, Les ReCréateurs, Atelier Rare, and Les Résilientes) will be on sale. Expect to find items like jackets (€95), cardigans and blazers (€70), shoulder bags (€28), hand bags (€24) in leather or quilted, fanny packs (from €30), and even graphic and colorful cushions (€38).
Upcycling Christmas Market, Studio Emmaüs, 14 Rue du Château d’Eau, Paris 10th. Pop-up from November 20 to December 31, open Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 8pm.

For a Countryside Décor
Calling all lovers of beautiful, both rustic and retro pieces: La Romaine is setting up shop from December 5, 2024 to January 12, 2025 at the Hôtel des Académies et des Arts. This boho and minimalist gem, just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens, transforms into a Parisian lifestyle temple, echoing Hemingway's famous "Paris is a Party."
This winter, La Romaine Éditions is bringing the holiday spirit to the hotel! Soft red and white plaid blankets and green carafes in the rooms, pop-colored tables in the English salon… And of course, a mini Christmas shop will be installed in the workshop! Candles, candleholders, festive flutes, and flowered plates: this winter, seasonal flowers take over the interior for a countryside and festive touch. Featured in the new collection: the Peony candle (€85), the Tulip candleholder (€42), the Hyacinth flute (€85), and the small Poppy dessert plate (€28) – a dose of poetry for your home. Their collection celebrates home and intimacy with an ultra-chic twist, exploring that special something that makes our hearts beat for beautiful objects. Each piece is a find, a tribute, or a love affair, inspired by magical encounters with artists and artisans.
Pop-Up La Romaine Editions x Hôtel des Académies et des Arts, 15 rue de la Grande Chaumière, Paris 6th at the Hôtel des Académies et des Arts. Christmas pop-up from December 5, 2024 to January 12, 2025.
