What is Cottagecore?
We recently wrote an article explaining the cottagecore aesthetic! But for something so trendy and popular right now, we don’t mind giving you a refresher and painting a word picture of the latest trend. Cottagecore is an aesthetic all its own. If you’re looking for a cozy Christmas gift for a special person in your life, something cottagecore is a great choice. But shopping for cottagecore gifts can be difficult if you aren’t familiar with the aesthetic. That’s what we’re here for!
It’s comfortable, cozy, warm, delicate, and detailed all wrapped up in one perfectly shaped bow. One of the things we love most about cottagecore is that it allows you the freedom of interpretation and creative curiosity. It’s not one size fits all. It’s as unique as the individual who is designing it. And we are here for that.
It’s your outdoor garden with a twist or that dinner party on the patio with all the perfect lighting. Mixed with the most neutral rich colors you can find. It’s everything you want for the holidays, and we really mean that!
If you’re looking to keep your Christmas gift ideas in line with the cottagecore theme, look no further! In this article, we have 15 cottagecore Christmas gifts that will have all your loved ones jazzed over what is under the tree for them.
Enjoy!
Best Cottagecore Christmas Gifts
1. Copper Watering Can
First up we have this gorgeous copper colored 40 oz. watering can. Its color gives it a rustic feel with a splash of shimmer. You can use this for décor or keep it functional and use for a small garden. The thin arm and neck of the can give it a sleek, perfectly finished look that will have anyone on the receiving end of this gift in awe of its beauty.
2. Green Ivy Vine String Lights
While cottagecore has a creative side, one of the staples of the trend – and perhaps why so many people love it – is the amount of greenery involved in completing the look. Greenery, whether natural or artificial, gives you a sense of calm and tranquility. It’s Mother Nature’s gift to us and we are here to scoop it all up.
This 12ft pack of artificial ivy garland brings the outside in in the simplest but most beautiful way. Whether you are gifting it to a friend who is redoing one of the spaces in the home, i.e. a bedroom or office area, or decorating for a cottagecore-themed Christmas party, the simple vines completed with twinkle lights will be the only accessory any room needs to take it from “oh” to “oh, wow!”
3. Leaf-Shaped Wooden Spoons and Salad Tongs
Let’s face it, even after two years of putting the pandemic behind us (or at least trying our best) we still struggle with the lost time we all experienced when we were in isolation. To the point that now, when we host our parties and welcome others into our homes, we want every single detail to be covered and to make sure our guests enjoy themselves from the moment they walk in to the time they pull out of the driveway.
This 4-piece wooden spoon and fork set covers all those details and then some! Shaped like leaves and twigs, you can use this for multiple seasons and for a variety of occasions. Staying true to the cottagecore concept, you will have all the details covered. This set is perfect for a large salad or any of those delicious side items!
4. Cross Back Baking Apron

It’s very useful and you can use it for either gardening or cooking.

These canvas butterfly hanging tapestries are everything you want in cottagecore! Just looking at them brings us a sense of calmness and tranquility.
