On the hour, you’ll hear some old-fashioned interval signal chimes, followed by the magical announcement: “From the land of the Aurora Borealis, you are tuned to Arctic Outpost Radio AM1270.” Then, expect host Cal Lockwood to play some Glenn Miller, Martin Denny, or Piero Umiliani. A native of Longyearbyen—the largest inhabited area of the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard and the world’s northernmost settlement, with just over a thousand citizens—resident Lockwood spins at 77-degree latitude with a couple of Victrolas and a vintage RCA Type 77-DX microphone. A.O.R. broadcasts anachronistically on an AM transmission for locals and digitally for the rest of the globe, accessible via the incredible Radio Garden service. Tune in for the “great shellacs” from 1902–58. (Think big band, jazz, swing, and vintage country.) While my wife and I are year-round listeners, in December the station becomes extra essential and transportive for us when Lockwood plays the coziest, most authentic Christmas tunes, only ever on 78, 45, or 33 r.p.m. wax.

For most of us, putting a Constantin Brâncuși sculpture on our Christmas wishlist is out of the question, but all is not lost. Vhernier, the Italian jewelry brand founded in 1984, channeled the artist’s minimalist spirit into its Abbraccio collection. It all began 30 years ago, with a single ring that wound around the finger. Today, it includes a full range of bracelets and earrings as well, and to commemorate the anniversary, Vhernier has introduced new materials and designs. Titanium, pavé diamonds—there are temptations for jewelry collectors of all persuasions, but our favorite is the ear clips in rose gold. Invest now, and enjoy for generations to come.

British writer and Air Mail contributor Daisy Dawnay is fixated (in a good way) on the makings of a beautiful and happy home. This will sound very familiar to the many fans of A Little Bird, the insiders’ guide to London, which she edited for nearly five years. Now she has launched The Gimlet Eye, a Substack newsletter focused on the decorative arts, full of inspired design ideas, features about makers and shops, and—drumroll—gift guides. Her holiday shopping guide has just dropped, filled with addictive products we plan to buy for others—and for ourselves. (thegimleteye.substack.com) —Ashley Baker

Designer Tanya Taylor has an alter ego and fictional muse, Delphine, and she likes to party. After Taylor’s namesake brand celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, she decided it was time to let Delphine take the (dance) floor. Launched last month, just in time for holiday party season, Delphine is a capsule of jewel-toned cocktail dresses in silk, satin, and faille fit for glamorous, sexy, and maybe slightly messy nights. One more martini, please. (from $895, delphinenyc.com) —Jessica Iredale

The best gifts are like a great dream, both familiar and totally out of the blue. So when the Metrograph, New York’s beloved independent cinema, launched a self-titled magazine last month, I thought, “What a great stocking stuffer.” But after a few days, it became clear that everyone on my list already had a copy. Perhaps sensing this dilemma, the bright minds behind Metrograph Editions—the theater’s merchandise-and-production arm—further plumbed the depths of motion-picture paraphernalia and produced an even rarer object of desire in the form of photographic prints by cinematographer and director Ed Lachman. The Oscar nominee, who shot Pablo Larrain’s Maria, printed the series of four photographs himself, mining them from his archive, which spans his work alongside everyone from Francis Coppola to Jean-Luc Godard. If these dazzling prints don’t hit the spot, whoever you’re giving them to either doesn’t like film or doesn’t have dreams. (From $1,500; metrograph.com) —Nathan King

If there’s one thing the Nordics know how to do it’s cozy, and this little novella by the Norwegian writer Ingvild Rishoi manages it beautifully despite also being a story of hardship. Brightly Shining, told from the big-dreaming perspective of the younger of two sisters struggling to get by with a loving but alcoholic father, takes place around a Christmas-tree stand at holiday time. It’s a worthy follow-up to novella master Claire Keegan’s Small Things like These, just made into a movie starring Cillian Murphy, and its festive cover—cobalt blue flecked with white and gold—and petite size make it the perfect literary stocking stuffer.
