Design touches everything in our lives: the clothes we put on our body, the technology that powers our day, how we prepare our food. It is the amalgamation of these elements that comprise the personal style we create to express ourselves. In my work, no detail is ever left unexamined and I’m constantly on the search for exceptional and surprising finds that blend high and low, raw and refined and the ordinary and extraordinary. I’m pretty organized at cataloging my finds and by the time the holidays come around I feel pretty well prepared to pull the trigger on some amazing presents for my loved ones.

I have always loved the holiday season because I get to spend quality time with those closest to me. Not only is this time of year an opportunity to come together with family, friends and loved ones, but it’s also a moment to show how much you appreciate them. It’s why gift giving is my ultimate love language.

I always think to myself: What are things that someone might covet but might not buy for themselves?

One of my favorite ways to treat someone is by giving them an elevated version of an everyday item. It’s the perfect way to infuse luxury into function and give people a little extra something. Think: a stunning tea kettle, lush towels, or the softest throw.

It is also incredibly rewarding to give a gift that deeply resonates with someone you love. Making it exceptionally personal—like finding an ideal art piece for someone s budding gallery wall, or helping a music lover to level up their electronics, or treating a kitchen savant to a new appliance— is a great way to deepen your connection and really show how much you care.

As we approach the end of the year and in the essence of gratitude and giving, here are some of my favorite home decor gift ideas to spoil your loved ones.
