HEs host gift: Giske holds keys and small treasures ready

For a dinner invitation or a housewarming gift, I don't always want to bring flowers. A small bowl with a permanent place in everyday life is an alternative, if it suits the home. Giske combines hand-cast concrete with a natural cork insert.

Who is Giske designed for?

For people who regularly misplace their keys, like to leave their jewelry in the same place, or could use a small shelf in the hallway. As a housewarming gift, the bowl is particularly suitable if the interior style is rather calm and simple. In a very colorful home, however, I would first ask about their preferences.

How can I make the bowl personal?

I would put a handwritten card inside: "For all the little things that deserve a permanent place." As a personal addition, a small keepsake or a pretty keychain can be included. Both are separate and not included in the delivery. Anyone who wants to add a photo will find a suitable card holder with Egersund.

How would I gift it?

Cushion the 15 cm wide bowl with paper against scratches and bumps and hand it over in a flat box. The card lies visibly on the cork insert. I would not put heavy objects in it that could slip during transport.

What is important when buying?

Giske is a flat bowl measuring approximately 15 × 15 × 2 cm made of concrete and natural cork. It is suitable as a shelf for keys, jewelry, and dry small items. Please check the actual availability in the shop when choosing a color: Variants may be sold out. The fine pores on the concrete surface are typical of the handmade craftsmanship.

HE's tip: It is not the bowl alone that matters, but the little story you give with it.
