In early December, right in the heart of Madrid, an event kicks off that promises to be one of the season’s highlights ahead of the winter holidays. Only YOU Boutique Hotel, located on Calle Barquillo, will, for three days, transform into a space where creativity, style, and fragrances come together in a festive Christmas atmosphere. Guests can expect more than just a regular market – it’s a true kaleidoscope of experiences: from unique designer finds to hands-on workshops where anyone can craft something special themselves.
This year, the organizers have focused on individuality and handmade creations. The market will be set up in the lobby of a 19th-century mansion, featuring original pieces and collections from emerging brands. Special attention is given to scents: Eleven People, known for their candles and diffusers, will fill the space with eleven unique compositions made in Asturias. Every visitor will not only discover the perfect gift but also soak up an inspiring atmosphere of comfort and creativity.
Workshops: from floristry to ceramics
From December 5th to 7th, visitors can take part in a packed schedule of workshops. On the first day, you can try making scented sachets from soy wax, choosing your favorite fragrance and decorating your creation with botanical elements. For flower enthusiasts, there’s a floristry course where participants will assemble festive floral arrangements. Fans of paper art can master origami techniques and craft original home decorations.
In the following days, the program continues with bracelet-making workshops, watercolor classes where participants will learn to create greeting cards and festive notes. It all concludes with an exclusive ceramics session, where you can paint your own Christmas ornaments. All master classes are held in an intimate setting, and after each one, participants are treated to a Christmas cocktail.
Gifts from the heart and a festive atmosphere
The organizers emphasize that their goal is not just to offer guests beautiful items, but to create a space where inspiration and the spirit of the holiday come alive. Here, you can not only purchase designer gifts, but also talk with the artists, discover their trade secrets, and even become part of the creative process. Advance registration is required for each workshop, and places are limited, making every session truly exclusive.
Only YOU Boutique Hotel and Eleven People invite everyone seeking unique experiences and wanting to get into the holiday spirit in a special setting. It’s a perfect chance to spend time with friends or family, discover new interests, and pick out gifts that truly stand out. At this market, everyone will find something to love—from fragrances to unique décor pieces.
