Below are a few gift ideas just for fun…to inspire your holiday shopping or next design project. We had fun putting these together; let us know if you have other fresh ideas for future guides!
Sources: #1 World Central Kitchen Cookbook (fun recipes and 100% of profits are reinvested into aid projects); #2 Carthage Lamp by Ralph Lauren (we LOVE a lamp in a kitchen…warms it right up); #3 La Cornue’s Chateau range (a major investment but the finishes are customizable and it’s so fun for holiday cooking); #4 Party Tumblers (mixes well in a tablescape but great for everyday too); #5 Splatter Mugs (perky look for winter coffees); #6 unlacquered brass kitchen faucet (sometimes simple is beautiful); #7 Block Print Apron (this cheery print also comes in a fabulous wallpaper); #8 Rush Counter Stools (another big investment but since there are only a few pieces of furniture in a kitchen, it’s nice to make them really special).
Sources: #1 Grapevine Interiors Custom Pillows (any size, any pattern…just reach out!); #2 Bamboo Picture Frames (fill a few of these with fun pics for a personal gift at a reasonable price point); #3 Lacquer Tray (adds personality to a bar area, desk, coffee table); #4 Holiday Candle; #5 Splatter Lamp (it’s huge and amazing); #6 Splatter Vase (arguably a perfect Christmas gift for a design enthusiast); #7 Stocking (scrap the ordinary Christmas look and go Schumacher); #8 Oversized Basket (useful pretty much anywhere).
Sources: #1 Professionally framed pictures (Framebridge does a really nice job and you can upload your pics from your phone so the process is quick and easy); #2 Big scale lamp (Ralph Lauren’s lighting line is so classic); #3 Coasters; #4 Custom Pillow (Schumacher retails a few options or Grapevine can make them in any size, any print); #5 Wicker thermos; #6 Napkins in Schumacher’s Citrus Garden; #7 Gift Wrap (can make a pair of tube socks look like a chic gift); #8 Pressed Flower Print (this is on my own Christmas list).
Sources: #1 Amangani, Jackson Hole (more of a couple’s long weekend splurge than a family vacation spot); #2 Saloman QST Blank (great powder ski that also carves well); #3 PV Alpine (private coaching and camps led by Olympic coach Ryan Shorter); #4 Intuition Booties (feel amazing after a day in ski boots) #5 Thermal Knickers (for extra cold days); #6 Steamboat Powder Cats (get a group of friends together for an epic day backcountry); #7 Skida Alpine Hat; #8 Auberge Hotel in Telluride (great style and atmosphere in a bucket list town).
