Christmas Gift Guide

With front-row views of candyfloss-coloured sunrises and the starry night sky, an old lighthouse stands on the edge of Møns Klint, transformed by Camp Møns Klint into holiday accommodation with a private sauna. The ultimate Christmas gift for the woman or man in your life!

At Isle of Møn Spirits, gin and schnapps are made from what others consider weeds: local wild herbs, plants and roots, such as sweet cicely and sloe. Chalk from Møns Klint itself is added as a flavour enhancer. Put a tasting set including Isle of Møn’s specially developed tonic under the Christmas tree – or add a bottle of quality gin to dad’s drinks cabinet.

Send a message in a bottle to a friend or family member who appreciates quality spirits from gin producer Radius Distillery, based at Oremandsgaard Estate south of Præstø. Here, gin and brandy of the finest quality are made from apples from the distillery’s own orchard, while new flavours such as smoked berries, rose and rhubarb are explored. You can shop for gin & tonic sets or give a subscription to these delicious spirits as a gift.

The nuclear-proof military facility Stevnsfortet is a Cold War museum 18 metres underground. Send your parents or grandparents on a guided tour through the 1.7 km of underground corridors where soldiers slept, worked and lived just 30 years ago. Here, you can also get up close to a missile and learn more about some of the most remarkable espionage cases of the Cold War.

45 metres above the forest floor, the view from the Forest Tower awaits. The route follows the spiral ramp up through the treetops and above the beech forest, where South Zealand unfolds beneath your feet. A gift card for Camp Adventure can be used for a trip to the Forest Tower, a day on the climbing courses or an overnight stay in a glamping tent. Access to the tower at sunrise and sunset is included, so the gift might also turn into a morning or evening that is a little out of the ordinary.

On the Feddet peninsula, surrounded by pine forests, heath landscapes and child-friendly sandy beaches, is the Feddet Strand Resort campsite, which has been voted one of Europe’s absolute best. Here you can spend the night in beach huts, luxury apartments, caravans and tents. Feddet Strand Resort has, among other things, game rooms, trampolines and a pool for the youngest members of the family, as well as paddle tennis, kayaking, kitesurfing and mountain biking for adults. Treat someone who needs a break to a gift card.

At Holmegaard Værk, you can get up close to Danish glassmaking history and experience the largest glass collection in the Nordic region. Explore the old glassworks, where craftsmanship, history and creativity come together in authentic surroundings. An annual pass provides access to Museum Southeast Denmark’s museums, so the gift opens the door to even more cultural experiences, including the Danish Castle Centre in Vordingborg and the Borgring Viking Fortress in Køge.

Travel back to the Middle Ages at the castle grounds in Vordingborg. Denmark’s largest royal castle once stood here, complete with towers and a curtain wall. Today, most of the castle lies in ruins, but the 36-metre-high Goose Tower still rises above the hilltop with views across the waters of Storstrømmen. An annual pass to the Danish Castle Centre gives access to all 7 museums operated by Museum Southeast Denmark, including Holmegaard Værk and the Borgring Viking Fortress.

At the top of Præstø, overlooking the mirror-like waters of the fjord, lies one of the true heavyweights of Danish gastronomy. Michelin-starred Hotel Frederiksminde serves Nordic cuisine at its very best. Every day, the restaurant receives fresh produce from its own kitchen garden, which it transforms into small, appetising dishes packed with flavour. Every food enthusiast’s ultimate wish!

With everything from a flower park to treetop courses and Denmark’s largest Christmas market with more than 150 stalls, it is no exaggeration to call Gavnø an extraordinary experience park. An annual pass provides access to the island’s yellow Rococo castle with the country’s largest private collection of paintings, the annual vintage car gathering and the magnificent castle park, which features flowers in every colour of the rainbow, a butterfly house and hosts a spectacular tulip and lily festival every year.

Luxurious hand soaps, scented candles, cushions, knitwear, lemonade, you name it. Veras Verden near Gisselfeld has it all – and more. Give a gift basket packed with plenty of treats to a dear friend or another woman in your life who deserves a little extra pampering.

Discover the story of the beautiful Ice Age landscape at Møns Klint and learn more about everything from peregrine falcons and glaciers to Stone Age people at the modern GeoCenter Møns Klint museum, which features a 3D cinema with special effects, fun workshops for children and fantastic interactive exhibitions.

Want to give your partner a little extra treat this Christmas? Then book a stay at The Woodland Lodge in the forests of Gisselfeld. Here, there is plenty of time for slow mornings, long walks and simply being together. A Christmas gift for someone who might prefer time for two rather than another thing for the shelf.

Total relaxation awaits at the four-star city hotel Hotel Kirstine in Næstved. The hotel is built in classic half-timbered style and also has a wellness area with a therapy pool, sauna, steam bath and pool – in short, everything a true wellness enthusiast needs.

Get those cycling legs moving in Mågeklatten, feel the butterflies in your stomach when Hundeprutten is unleashed, or soar high above the ground in Kobratårnet. It’s loads of fun at BonBon-Land, which for decades has delighted children and the young at heart with a taste for fun and mischief. BonBon-Land also has the longest rafting ride in the Nordic region and a maze park. A season pass is a brilliant gift for the youngest members of the family.
