Iceland Themed Christmas Gifts for 2021

Because Christmas is right around the corner, I decided to dedicate this episode to giving you ideas for Iceland-themed gifts you can get for yourself or a loved one this year. Below are all of the places I recommend getting a gift that was either made or designed in Iceland.

Iceland Themed Gift Ideas Talked About in the Podcast

1.) The Handknitting Association of Iceland is where I get my Icelandic lopapeysas (sweaters). They are handmade in Iceland from 100% Icelandic wool. https://bit.ly/handknitted_iceland

3) Anna Rósa Skincare – https://www.annarosaskincare.com/

In  the video below, I talk about how the Bliss Healing Balm from Anna Rósa skincare has been a game changer for my skin during the winter.

5.) Infused Salts from Saltverk are sustainably harvested in Iceland. They have a lovely selection of flavors that are so fun to try. (https://saltverk.com/)
