It’s been a weird year. To say the least. So many of us have seen passions be put aside, or have had to enjoy them in new ways. Thankfully there’s been some amazing online communities keeping the cruise spirit alive, with many doing all they can to bring a bit of cruise to their home. If like me your gutted to be missing out on a Christmas cruise (wah, see you another time Azura!) and you’re keen to keep a bit of nautical spirit alive this Christmas, here’s some lovely cruise themed Christmas gifts from Etsy.
Coastal Theme Christmas Crackers from UKChristmasCrackers
Christmas Crackers are a MUST! We nestle ours in our tree until its time to pull them at Christmas dinner! These have a luxury, subtly nautical theme with traditional cold process soap and hand-poured soy wax candles included in place of tacky whistles or egg cups.
Disney Cruise Porthole Ornament
Love Disney Cruises? Add a Disney Cruise memory to your Christmas tree with this Porthole Christmas Tree Ornament. Get it personalised with the ship name and your cabin number, or maybe the year you took your cruise.
Nautical Wreath
Who needs the cliche glittery leaves and baubles wreath when you can have this nautically themed wreath? Featuring ocean blues, seahorses, star fish, flamingos, pearl accents and a white rope Relax sign.
Nautical Wreath Christmas Card by DeathOrPirates
Carrying on with the nautical wreath theme, how gorgeous is this nautically inspired Christmas card? Featuring a host of sealife like dolphins, sea turtles and rays, it makes the perfect holiday greeting for someone that loves tropical cruises!
Nautical Christmas Gift Tags by DeathOrPirates
While your wrapping up all your holiday and travel inspired Christmas presents, why not add a touch of nautical inspiration with these gift tags, featuring 4 different seaworthy designs – a Merry Christmas Banner, a Ship in a Snow Globe, Seasons Greetings Banner and Ships Wheel Wreath.
Nautical Christmas Stockings from Hung By The Chimney
We’ve not got a mantelpiece in our house so stockings have never been a big thing in our house – we’ve got Christmassy sacks instead. I absolutely love the idea of hanging stocking over the fireplace though, and if you’re going for a blue theme these nautical designs are perfect!
Fabric Whale Advent Calendar from EinfachSchoenShop
I remember having a cloth advent calendar when I was a kid – we used to to Celebrations in the pockets – it’s a great way of changing it up from the same old chocolate advent calendar, especially if you’ve got little ones with allergies. You could also do a DIY advent calendar for grown ups with some boozy chocolates or miniatures! Either way, I’m loving these whale patterned advent calendar bags.
Customised Map In A Bottle Tree Ornaments from Bombus
Celebrate your special cruise (or other holiday memories) with these gorgeoys personalised maps in tiny glass bottles. Scatter them around your Christmas tree and bring back memories year after year.
