Hola Madrileños!

Are you rushing to buy last-minute gifts for your friends, family, or partner? If you don’t feel like running around the entire city—especially dodging 2000 people on Gran Vía obsessed with the Christmas lights—you need to check out my little Christmas gift guide.

As a huge fan of art, local design, and small creators, I strongly recommend one of my favorite concept stores in Madrid: El Moderno. Located in Malasaña (calle Corre. Baja de San Pablo, 19) and offering worldwide shipping, it’s the perfect place to find unique home décor, stationery, jewelry, and art pieces. I love the concept of this store—it’s not very big, with a main floor and a lower level, but everything is beautifully displayed. Every item is unique, and it’s one of those places where you can find truly thoughtful gifts.

This store is always my go-to when I’m looking for gifts for my friends. It even saved my sanity when I first moved to Madrid. After seeing a string of horrible apartments with ugly interiors, I treated myself to the most amazing flower pot from El Moderno as a reward for surviving the chaos.

Below, I’ve prepared a separate gift guide for her and him with direct links to the store. Check it out!

And remember, Christmas should be a time to enjoy, not a time to run around the city hunting for gifts. That’s why I love this store—it’s an all-in-one solution.
