For Christmas 2026, Babylonstoren has unveiled ‘A Garden of Gifts’ – a festive collection celebrating abundance, nature and the joy of gathering.
Inspired by Christmas in the Cape, when the Babylonstoren garden is at its most generous, the 2026 collection captures the warmth and colour of a summer celebration. Garden greens, sun-washed neutrals and rich, earthy accents meet natural textures, handcrafted details and enduring Christmas traditions.
“Babylonstoren is best experienced first-hand, and gifting has become one of the most personal ways to share that experience,” says Tandi Oosthuizen, Babylonstoren’s Head of Retail, E-commerce and Product. “Whether it is through our home fragrance, bath and body collection, linen, décor or honey, every gift carries a little of the farm and the hospitality behind it. That is why we are so passionate about making gifting effortless and exceptional.”
At the heart of the collection is Babylonstoren’s much-anticipated Advent calendar, filled with 25 unique farm-inspired surprises – from sweet and savoury treats to wine, bath and body favourites.
For the Christmas table, the farm’s cooks, bakers, cheesemakers and butchers have prepared generous seasonal offerings made for sharing. These include festive cheeses and entertaining boards, cured meats and antipasti, farm-reared gammon, lamb and duck, and ready-to-serve accompaniments, alongside fresh cherries, berries and produce from the wider working farm.
Christmas hampers bring together a considered selection of Babylonstoren’s favourites, beautifully presented and ready to gift – a thoughtful way to share a little of the farm with family, friends, clients and colleagues.
The collection also includes felt farm-animal ornaments, garden-inspired baubles, a nativity scene, scented Christmas crackers, statement candles, embroidered table linen and richly coloured velvet ribbons. Natural materials and botanical details bring an understated festive elegance to every gift and gathering.
Whether searching for a thoughtful gift or something special for the Christmas table, there is always something distinctive to discover. Babylonstoren’s festive collection will be available from 1 October 2026 at the Farm Shops and online at shop.babylonstoren.com, for delivery to your door.
