Giving the gift of great design is more than a gesture, it enhances someone’s surroundings and shows just how well you know them on a personal level. From decorative delights to icons of interior design, the right piece can be the greatest present you give. With the festive season on the horizon, we’ve curated the ultimate list of heartfelt, home-making gifts that instantly elevate any space.

We wanted to start this piece by spotlighting a trend that often gets lost when trying to make a home look too uniform. Abstract accessories (whether in fashion or furniture) are the missing puzzle piece in many people’s design journey. Bitossi vases act as bold, small-scale statements in the home of any design lover, making them the ideal gift to instantly enliven someone’s interiors.

The art of play gets a refined twist with luxury board games that double as design statements. Crafted from marble, ash wood and solid brass, Chiaroscuro by Porada and Tip Tap Toe by Gallotti&Radice transform classic pastimes into sculptural centrepieces. Elegant yet inviting, they bring together craftsmanship and creativity in equal measure - thoughtful gifts for those who appreciate a little strategy served with a side of style.

Let there be light - compact in form yet full of character. The portable lamp is easy to place anywhere in the home and therefore the ideal gift for, well, just about anyone. Whether perched on a bedside table, desk, reading nook, kitchen counter or shelf, it adds warmth and cosiness wherever it’s placed, emitting an inviting glow while softening the edges of the space.

Does your loved one have a competitive streak? Meet the Spanish brand that’s at the top of the table when it comes to tabletop sports. From pool to ping-pong, RS Barcelona’s designs are the ultra-stylish way to have fun with friends, family, and anyone else you fancy proving your table-football skills to.

Some gifts transcend trends, they become part of family folklore. Pieces from the Eames Collection by Vitra, Knoll's Saarinen Tulip Table and the Snoopy Table Lamp by Flos have earned their place in design history, not just for their beauty but for the way they become entwined with the moments of everyday life. Instantly recognisable and endlessly admired, these icons bring warmth, character and conversation wherever they reside. They’re the kind of presents that prompt the “Do you remember that Christmas when we got the…” stories - still cherished decades later, still the pride of place in any home.

The magnum opus for music lovers. With over 80 years of expertise in audio (a remarkably long time when you consider the history of sound systems), Brionvega’s creations are the stuff of both design and music legend, found everywhere from David Bowie’s personal collection to the MoMA catalogue. A true fusion of creative worlds, their products helped shape the landscape of Italian design as we know it.

The softest gestures often make the biggest impact. A luxurious throw or blanket is the essence of everyday comfort, ready to cocoon, cuddle or casually drape across a favourite chair. Our favourites from Fritz Hansen, Verpan and Cassina combine tactile warmth with contemporary design, making them thoughtful additions to any home this winter.

Timepieces have long been treasured gifts, but Vitra’s clock collection offers a more architectural take on the classic gesture. Designed by mid-century masters like George Nelson, each clock transforms timekeeping into sculpture - elegant, playful and instantly collectible. Think of it as investing in a designer watch, not for your wrist, but for your wall.
