The storied Franschhoek farm is calling it “celebrating the present of presence” with an artisanal collection designed to elevate gatherings and inspire meaningful connections. Rooted in the spirit of mindful presence and inspired, as always, by the beauty and bounty from the farm, this year’s offering celebrates time shared with loved ones.

Inspired by the historic Delft shards unearthed on the farm over years of working in the garden, the 2025 offering is a curated edit of pieces designed to be cherished year after year, becoming part of the traditions that bring families and friends together. From quirky farm-inspired decorations to refined homeware and timeless tableware, each item carries Babylonstoren’s signature of understated elegance.

Food remains at the heart of our seasonal gatherings, and Babylonstoren’s artisanal treats and signature hampers embody the generosity of the season. There’s a new range of pre-prepared meals meals, along with delicately spiced confections, seasonal preserves, hand-baked biscuits and locally crafted delights – all beautifully packaged in gift-ready hampers and delivered to free-of charge.

Keepsake gifts include heirloom-quality pieces for the home and beautifully designed accents that carry the warmth of the farm into any setting. And, for the first time, the collection includes an advent calendar to delight the most discerning of recipients.

The present of presence invites you to step away from the rush of the season and immerse yourself in moments that matter: laughter across the dinner table, quiet conversations and the joy of giving something truly thoughtful. Celebrate the art of being together with Babylonstoren’s festive collection – where every piece tells a story of presence.

The Babylonstoren festive range is available at shop.babylonstoren.com from 1 November 2025, with delivery in Cape Town and surrounds, as well as Johannesburg and Pretoria main areas.
