Studios behind the gifts

Full-grain leather goods cut and saddle-stitched by hand, then foil-monogrammed in gold or blind deboss while you wait.

Newborn and nursery gifting in organic cotton and untreated beech. Everything arrives folded in tissue with a hand-written card.

Letterpress stationery and linen-bound journals, plus corporate welcome boxes assembled to brand guidelines with your logo blind-embossed.

A third-generation perfumery blending Cambodian oud, Taifi rose and warm amber in small batches. Every bottle is hand-filled in Al Quoz and sealed with wax.

A floral studio working with desert-tolerant blooms, preserved roses and dried palm. Arrangements are cut the morning they leave the studio.

Coconut-soy candles poured into reusable stoneware, scented with cardamom, fig and cedar. Clean burn, 60+ hours, refills available.

A small press and kit bench in Al Quoz: books set and sewn in-house, boxed kits that teach a craft in an afternoon, and planners ruled for the year you actually have.

A surface-print studio in Alserkal: gouache patterns painted by hand, then printed onto bone china, silk and linen in short runs. The table pieces are fired locally; the textiles are cut and finished in the same room.

Gourmet Emirati sweets: Medjool dates from Liwa, single-origin chocolate tempered daily, and grazing crates built for iftar tables and boardrooms alike.

Heavyweight cotton cut and sewn in Al Quoz: boxy tees, washed hoodies and training pieces built for the eight months a year when nobody wants a jacket.

Ready-to-wear for the eleven months of heat: washed linen tailoring, poplin and crepe midis, and the bag and frames that finish them.

Meditation cushions, yoga props, prayer goods and small rituals for a quieter house — cut, woven and turned in a Sharjah workshop, with nothing on a screen.

A small-batch apothecary: cold-process soap cured for six weeks, ghassoul clay masks and rosewater pressed from Taifi petals. Everything is mixed, cut and boxed in Al Qasimia.

A Ras Al Khor kitchen that boxes a restaurant dish as a gift: the burger kit, the rib rack, the pasta night. Chilled, packed and delivered ready to finish at home.

The UAE's experience-gifting specialist. Wondergifts holds direct contracts with more than 300 hotels, restaurants, spas and adventure operators across the Emirates, and issues every experience as a dated voucher the recipient books themselves.

Our in-house print desk. Business cards, stickers, labels, banners, posters and postcards, printed to your artwork, proofed before press and packed in with the gifts going out.

Corporate gifts and executive accessories from a Dubai distributor: XD Design and SKROSS travel and tech, CROSS writing instruments, Ocean Bottle, and the Giftology and Santhome ranges — most of it ready to carry your logo.

A wheel-throwing studio in the RAK foothills. Sand-toned glazes, speckled stoneware and coffee sets made for long evenings.
