The season of gathering and gifting is officially here. Whether you’re shopping for the hostess who has it all, the homebody who loves a slow morning, or the friend with a weakness for beautifully made things, we pulled together a curated list of thoughtful, elevated gifts that feel special, without the stress the holidays tend to bring.
Here are a few of our favorites this year:
For Your Favorite Hostess:
Gifts that make entertaining easier, prettier, and a little more fun.
Twisted Taper Candles
A sculptural twist on a classic. Beautiful on their own or paired with a favorite holder. Tip: Bundle with a small vase or seasonal greens.
GenSwin Flameless Ivory Tapers
Flameless tapers are one of our go-to hostess gifts - dreamy glow, zero mess.
Eve Smoke Coupe Glasses (set)
Lightweight, chic, and surprisingly versatile - mocktails, cocktails, or sparkling cider.
Fia Handwoven Tray
We’ve used this in many clients’ homes. Perfect for serving, styling, or corralling odds and ends.
Bonus tip: Fill it with holiday treats or breakfast pastries and leave the tray behind as the gift.
Round Wooden Decorative Tray
A warm, textured option for kitchens, coffee tables, or entryways.
Marble Scallop Coaster Set
Classic with a twist - subtle scallops keep things feeling fresh.
Small European Bread Board
A timeless staple. Pair with a loaf of bread or a favorite cheese for instant charm.
For The Homebody:
Cozy, comfort-forward pieces they’ll reach for all winter long.
Chunky Knit Throw Blanket
Soft, oversized, and perfect for Saturdays cuddled up on the sofa.
Decorative Glass Match Holder (with matches!)
A tiny detail that feels wonderfully thoughtful. Great paired with you favorite cozy holiday candle.
Handwoven Tray
Equally good for cozy nooks and quiet mornings.
Solid Bathroom Wastebasket
A useful upgrade that still feels elevated and allows you to enjoy the little details that help your space feel both tidy and elevated.
Flameless Battery-Powered LED Candles: Love the essence of having candles burning throughout the cozy winter season, but don't want the open flame or overwhelming scents? I love giving these as gifts, using them in my own home, and in current projects!
Design Lovers
Textural, sculptural, and delightfully unnecessary - yet highly appreciated.
Brass or Wood Taper Holders
Beautiful alone, even better with taper candles to help warm up your favorite space for the holidays.
Creative Co-Op Marble Coasters (set)
A simple home staple that can create an elevated design while serving a purpose.
Ceramic Planters (various sizes)
A thoughtful way to bring a bit of life to someone’s space.
Brass + Glass Display Box
Great for cherished items, matches, or small keepsakes. This is one of our favorite homey details to add to new projects. We tell clients to actually PRINT some of their favorite photos and stack them in this beautiful display box. It's a tangible way to re-live some of your favorite memories, and is a fun conversation starter for guests.
2-Pack Rechargeable Table Lamps
We love these for nightstands, shelves, or anywhere ambient lighting is needed.
For The Practical Minimalist
Everyone has that person who wants something useful - and still pretty.
Magnasonic Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner
A small luxury that feels wildly satisfying. I've had mine for 5+ years and still use it almost weekly.
Charcoal Velvet Oven Mitts
A simple upgrade that makes everyday home tasks feel elevated.
Muse Apothecary Hand Ritual
Spa-level scent, a beautiful bottle, and an affordable price. We love to style our client's bathrooms and kitchens with this.
Olaplex No. 3
A classic that I personally use and love that keeps my hair feeling hydrated all winter long.
Tissue Box Cover
A tiny home upgrade that makes a noticeable difference - especially during this cold & flu season. And it comes in lots of colors!
Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum
Not glamorous, but undeniably appreciated by anyone who wants a clean home.
For The Holiday Enthusiast
Seasonal, simple, and guaranteed to spread a little cheer.
Revel Paper Ornaments (set of 4)
Lightweight, sculptural, and easy to store for years to come.
Twisted or Flameless Tapers
Dress up a table, a mantle, or even a simple weeknight dinner.
For The World Traveler
For the one who is always packed and ready for the next adventure.
BÉIS Mini Weekender Bag
A sleek, structured, and smartly designed bag that will completely change the way you travel. This is a perfect gift for you, or someone in your life who is always on the go. Mine carries my laptop, books, water bottle, toiletries, running shoes, and so much more!
