Hygge: Winter’s Favourite Companion!
By Eden
Winter. The time of year when the low temperatures and dark evenings make you want to dive into a pool of comfort.
Well, we’ve got something that goes well with that feeling. Hygge.
Hygge (pronounced hoo gah) has been around for ages and we have our Danish/Norwegian friends to thank. While there is no direct English version for the word, the closest translation is the anything that makes us feel cosy, comfortable, content and generally well. Basically, that warm fuzzy feeling that no one knows how to describe, but you have to feel to understand. You know what I’m talking about.
The great thing about hygge is that it can vary from person to person. Whatever makes you feel as sung as a bug in a rug.
Let Eden help you find your hygge this winter. Here are a few suggestions from some of our fabulous shops:
