I have long felt that just getting any old gift is worse than just giving money. So I hope this guide (no matter your budget) will allow you to find something that the receiver will cherish for years to come.

For me, giving gifts is about enriching one’s life. Giving a gift that has an enduring impression is one that will show how much you care, and create a lasting bond.

YALI GLASS

YALI sells more than glass, but as you can see from the Boboli Vase in Peach, they are absolute artists with glass. Vases are great gifts, because - when designed well - they can stand alone empty as sculpture. The Boboli Vase does just that - stunning no matter what!

KNOWN WORK

Speaking of glass gifts, KNOWN WORK’s 01 Perceptions Catchall in Amber is a stunning addition to anyone’s entry foyer or living room. A catchall is an excellent gift as it’s both functional and sculptural. Like a good vase, it too can sit alone or even hold flora when not in use for keys or even as a stylish ash tray.

Dig a little further into KNOWN WORK and you’ll find that their contemporary furniture and lighting is some of the most stylish and unforgettable on the mark. So maybe you’ll circle back and update some of your living room pieces in the new year - we’re happy to help ;)

MAAMI HOME

Stone gifts are another stunning gift because of their nod to nature’s most artistic palette of natural stone. No one item is alike and that makes it oh so much more special.

This MAAMI HOME Calacatta Viola Tray is great for a dresser top for holding cologne & fragrances, or as serving piece for hors d'oeuvres. It can even be a tray on an entry foyer table for mail.

There really is no way to go wrong with a stone gift - you just want to make sure that the color of the stone works with the receiver’s home, and that the veining has a nod to a classic look.

CB2

CB2 always has excellent gifts, and they have one of their largest sales of the year going on now through after Christmas.

The Brix Grey Levanto Marble Wine Chiller is a stunning dinner table piece that can also double as a vase.

For catchalls, CB2 has the Thayne Brown Catchall and Luke Jade Marble Ribbed Catchall, providing several options in both color and style for a catchal in nearly any room - even a bathroom!

RIZZOLI

Last but not least, there are always coffee table books. Now of course I could make a long list of all the best coffee table books, but for now I’m going to share a few Interior Design coffee table books that I am loving right now from Rizzoli.

SHAMSHIRI

Studio Shamshiri shares their latest relaxed luxury designs, in their stunning coffee table called SHAMSHIRI : INTERIORS.

KELLY WEARSTLER

Kelly Wearstler, the queen of interior design (if you ask me), has published yet another inspiring book full of her elcectic contemporary work - KELLY WEARSTLER : SYNCHRONICITY. This one is at the top of my list to Santa!

JAKE ARNOLD & COLIN KING

Loose yourself in the calming wabi-sabi transitional interiors & styling of Colin King in ARRANGING THINGS & Jake Arnold in REDEFINING COMFORT.
