Christmas Gift Guide 2026
Unique Christmas gifts that glow: festive lamps, playful night lights and sculptural pieces, 3D printed to order.
Looking for unique Christmas gifts that aren't another mug or candle? A lamp is still in use long after the wrapping paper is gone, and a glowing one makes long December evenings feel warmer. Here are our picks for this year, from festive pieces for the mantel to sculptural lamps for the person who has everything.
Festive lamps for the holidays
A lithophane lantern with Santa's sleigh, a guardian angel nativity and a starlit tree: white prints and festive shells lit from within.
Santa's Sleigh Lantern
A white lithophane lamp wrapped in a snowy village scene, with Santa's sleigh and reindeer flying across a starry sky. Switch it on and the whole picture lights up.
Guardian Angel Nativity
A white angel spreads her great feathered wings around the Holy Family, the baby in the manger glowing softly at the centre. A peaceful keepsake for the mantel, a side table or a nightstand.
Starlit Christmas Tree
A cone Christmas tree in deep green, its shell pierced with rows of little windows and crowned with a red star. Light spills through every opening for a cosy twinkle all season.
For cat and dog lovers
Mesh animals that glow warm through every opening: the gift pet people put on display straight away.
Mesh Cat
A sitting cat night light in fine white mesh on a round base, softly lit.
Mesh Dog Lamp
A sitting dog lamp sculpted in open mesh, glowing warm through every opening.
For kids and space fans
Rockets and an astronaut moon lamp that double as night lights for young explorers.
Rocket Launch
A white rocket with a red nose cone and fins lifting off from a billowing cloud of light. A rocket night light for kids' rooms, space fans and gamers.
Retro Rocket Lamp
A classic white rocket with red fins, nose cone and porthole, glowing warm from within on a black launch stand. A retro night light for any space fan.
Astronaut Moon Lamp
A little astronaut carries a glowing moon across a cratered lunar base, moon and helmet lit warm: a space night light.
For the design lover
Sculptural lamps with lattices, spirals and cut-outs, for the friend whose home already looks like a gallery.
Voronoi Orb
A sculptural voronoi orb lamp of organic cells, with warm light escaping through every opening.
Helix Sculpture
A tall, flowing spiral lamp with a perforated lattice skin that glows amber from within. A true statement piece.
Bloom Sculpture Lamp
A flowing white flower sculpture: petals twist up a slender stem from a ruffled base, pierced with tiny holes that scatter points of warm light.
Event Horizon
A black hole lamp: dark sphere, glowing halo and wide translucent accretion disc on a thin stem and round white base.
Retro 70s
A matte black lava-lamp silhouette with sweeping organic cutouts that glow warm orange, a groovy 1970s lamp for any shelf.
Lattice Twist Lamp
A dark lattice lamp twists around a warm inner glow, throwing patterned light through hundreds of slots.
For the desk or home office
A pen organizer with a glowing core, a circuit-board column and a colour-changing cube for the person who lives at their desk.
Wave Desk Organizer Lamp
A white S-shaped ribbon wave in three tiers: a desk organizer lamp whose curved shelves hold pens around a glowing cylinder core, on a dark wood base.
Circuit Column Lamp
A tall white circuit board lamp wrapped in raised traces, glowing a soft and warm white.
RGB Split Cube
A matte black RGB cube lamp split into eight blocks, colour-changing light glowing through seams.
A personalized gift
Gifts with a name on them are the ones people keep. In Design Your Own you can put a name on the Name Sign with Star or a glowing name sign, both names on a couple sculpture, or up to four photos on a lithophane photo cube, and preview it before you order.
Order early
Every glow3d piece is printed to order, layer by layer, so the earlier you order, the more time there is to print, finish and ship it before Christmas. If you are unsure which size to choose, the medium 7-inch version suits most nightstands and shelves.
