Welcome to Ugly Duckli

Discover Danish Christmas Hearts

Danish Christmas hearts are one of the most beloved traditions in Denmark. If you are visiting Copenhagen in 2026, you can now explore their story, their history and their quiet Scandinavian beauty in our new guide.

Explore Danish Christmas Hearts

This is my universe. Created by me, Rikke V. Stoltz –
with the intention to share knowledge, support execution,
and help others succeed.

And yes – also beautiful paper hearts and aesthetic experiences,
crafted with love and meaning.

Here you'll only find products and offerings
that I’ve created myself, shaped by a long life
of entrepreneurship, leadership and human curiosity.

Talks, mentoring, workshops and Danish seasonal design –
each with its own heartbeat.

The selection will change from time to time –
depending on energy, season and inspiration.
So if something speaks to you, don’t hesitate:
book it, buy it – or simply let me know you’re interested.
