Shop Small, Celebrate Big: Beyond the Mall’s Festive Edit Is Here

If you want your Christmas to feel a bit more personal this year, start with where you shop. Beyond the Mall has launched its festive edit, a collection of gifts, décor and hosting pieces made entirely by independent UAE brands, makers and artisans.

Hosting this year? The edit has everything you need for a table that looks the part. Seasonal napkins, candles and playful serving pieces sit alongside showstoppers like reindeer candlesticks and ice buckets. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or the whole family round for lunch, there are plenty of easy ways to dress the table.

For the home, traditional Christmas motifs meet fun, contemporary designs. Characterful ornaments for the tree and shelves, plus seasonal cushions, bring warmth to the living room. You can add a few finishing touches or create a full festive look from scratch.

The fun doesn’t stop at décor. Snowflake-motif jewellery and cheeky Santa earrings are a playful way to wear the season, and matching family pyjamas are made for Christmas Eve traditions and those all-important Christmas morning photos.

Then, of course, there are the gifts. From accessories and jewellery to thoughtful pieces for the home, there’s something for everyone on your list, and each one has a story behind it.

That’s the best part. Every product on Beyond the Mall comes from an independent UAE business. Founded by Rhia Woodall and Phil Malem, the online marketplace now features more than 70 local brands across gifts, homeware, baby products, wedding gifts and corporate gifting. So every purchase supports emerging makers and creative entrepreneurs right here at home.

This year, skip the crowds and the cookie-cutter presents. Beyond the Mall’s festive edit makes it easy to celebrate in a way that feels colourful, personal and uniquely yours.
