The day begins at home, in that slow November light that makes everything feel softer.
Coffee brews in the kitchen, the good kind — the one you save for weekends and gentle mornings.
You spread butter on toast, open your notebook, and look once more at the itinerary you planned with almost military precision.

Three categories of gifts, five addresses across Brussels, and absolutely no room for improvisation. This is not shopping. This is a mission. A Christmas operation. A sniper-level expedition through the city’s most magical corners.
The taxi arrives, and as you settle into the seat, the city slides by like a moving postcard — the parks still misty, rooftops waking up, the November air whispering possibilities.
You go over the plan again in your mind, a secret thrill running through you. First stop: scarves. Then candles. Then jewelry.

Each gift chosen to surprise someone you love. Each address handpicked because Brussels is a treasure, and today you’re going hunting. The Grand Sablon is your first target.
The taxi drops you in front of Freywille, the boutique glowing like a jewel box against the grey winter sky.

Inside, the enamel colors burn brighter than stained glass — each scarf a miniature artwork, each design bursting with Vienna’s poetic fire.
So,even if Freywille is also a wonderful place to seek some marvels with Gold, unique power of colors and diamonds, I will keep my mind focused on their so creative scarfs!
You scan the collection, your sniper instinct locking instantly onto your gift.

Then it’s across the city to the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, where Roseline d’Oreye’s silk scarves float like painted dreams.

Her palette? Soft, celestial, unmistakably Brussels.

Back into the taxi — your mobile headquarters — heading south toward Uccle. This is candle country. The quiet streets and elegant façades feel worlds away from the city center. At Bougies Gommers, the scents are not perfumes, they’re atmospheres: winter spices, crackling wood, evening gardens.
And by the way, they are officialy suppliers oft he Kingdom of Belgium! You really can't miss a visit.



You pick a candle that smells like “home” and another that smells like “a November story waiting to happen.” Because Christmas is nothing without a little enchantment.

Then the journey continues into the heart of the Marolles, a neighborhood with character dripping from every brick.
Here, among the antiques and ateliers, lives Hélène Sajfrt —

an architect, an amazing creator whose jewelry feels handcrafted for souls who like their perfect lines, their beauty subtle, meaningful, and a little mysterious.

Finally, as the afternoon light turns golden, the taxi glides toward Brugmann, where Celine Daoust works with gold and precious stones like a sculptor of light.


Her pieces have that rare quality: they look like they’ve lived a life before you even touch them.

When you head home at the end of the day, the bags at your feet feel less like shopping and more like stories collected across the city — pieces of Brussels that will soon become someone’s treasure.
And honestly? There’s nothing quite like a perfectly planned Christmas mission in the most enchanting corners of the capital.
