The Dōr Gift Edit 2025

We're as time crunched as everyone else, so when it came to the inevitable panic brought on by festive shopping, we deferred to an expert, who we were interviewing for our journal anyway. Our pal Jack is founder of Dōr, a lifestyle store in Kelso in the Scottish Borders. Yes they deliver, and yes, if you order today it'll arrive before Christmas. Don't thank us. Thank Jack!

(READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH JACK HERE)

We love YMC for their effortless balance of utility and ease, timeless pieces built to be lived in. Their London-rooted design ethos always puts craft, texture, and wearability first.

KESTIN blends Scottish heritage with modern technical design, creating garments that feel considered, functional, and quietly elevated. Made by a team obsessed with fabric innovation and durability.

 RoToTo makes lifelong basics  with obsessive Japanese craftsmanship, the kind of socks and knits you end up collecting. Every piece reflects their focus on comfort, quality, and slow, intentional production.

JorumStudio - An independent Scottish perfume house crafting boundary-pushing scents with an artistic, hand-blended approach. We love their ability to bottle place, memory, and emotion in unexpected ways.

Milkman do small-batch, beautifully considered candles with a playful but precise design sensibility. Thoughtfully made fragrances  that elevate the everyday.

@pithsupply - Pith is all about simplicity done exceptionally well—journal and stationery essentials built to last and designed to be used, not just admired. Makers who truly care about paper, process, and purpose.

sunhousecraft - Kentucky-made, women run, home goods crafted with traditional tools and local materials. Every Sunhouse item feels warm, honest, and connected to the hands that shaped it.

 Kinto creates Japanese drinkware and home goods that celebrate calm, ritual, and beautifully functional design. Pieces that make slowing down feel natural.

Cedar makes room fragrances and candles with a clean, modern sensibility - pure ingredients, grounded scents, and a commitment to a more mindful home environment.

All items available for delivery from Dōr's online store.
