When the temperature drops and the days become shorter, it becomes more important than ever to have a creative space that supports your focus and comfort.

Winter is a perfect time to give your environment a refresh, making it warmer, calmer, and more inspiring for your creative projects. A cosy setup won’t just help you stay comfortable, but will also help ideas flow more smoothly.

Adding small seasonal items, including scented candles, seasonal plants, or seasonal colours, can instantly make the space feel more inviting and alive.

The Best Gifts for Foodies

The Best Gifts for Foodies

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products – Updated on November 29th, 2025 to add more gift ideas] I would define myself as a foodie and receiving gifts around Christmas, I really enjoy food-themed gifts! As I love food, I have picked out a bunch of food-related gifts for foodies like myself, from silly gifts to more serious gifts, there is a lot to enjoy in this list.

Organic Cocoa Powder

As a foodie myself, sometimes I just want some premium ingredients! In the new year, one of my favorite things to make are chocolate truffles, for Valentine’s Day. Getting Organic Cocoa Powder around Christmas is literally perfect for me, and the containers from Food Thoughts contain 100 percent natural cocoa powder, without any added sugar, additives and flavorings, which gives me the freedom to use them in baking and cooking however I want. This ingredient is very premium and high quality, making it a fantastic gift.

Taking a Canal Tour with Rederij Plas

Taking a Canal Tour with Rederij Plas

Posted on by Jupiter

When in the centre of Amsterdam, there are a whole line of different canal tours that you can choose from. Some have themes (primarily alcohol), some do not have any prices listed and you need to use a QR code, and others are just set up ready to take you out on the water. We specifically picked an un-themed tour that had a price listed, called Rederij Plas, which felt like one of the older canal tours on this side of the water.
