&TRADTION × VERNER PANTON
Flowerpot VP9 Portable Table Lamp

As with last year’s gift guide round up, I wanted to curate a list of gifts that will be cherished for decades. Giving a piece of art that can withstand the test of fads & trends will be long cherished, with the gift giver always remembered.

When I give a gift, I want it to feel handpicked—touching upon the style of their home or personal fashion. Below is a fresh collection of gifts that are a continuation from 2024’s holiday gift guide.

&TRADITION

Several years ago, I was gifted a chrome Flowerpot VP9 Portable Table Lamp and it’s one of my favorite gifts to this day. It’s mobile and wonderful for dinner parties, late night sketching sessions for myself or my son, and bedside ambiance for sexy night in. Don’t like chrome? It comes in a range of colors as well!

JONATHAN ADLER

I love Jonathan Adler’s signature style, and while not everything aligns with my personal style, there are certain pieces, like the Arcade Lacquer Box collection, that make my heart sing.

The Small Arcade Lacquer Box in Ochre is by far my favorite color way. Ochre is a long time favorite color of mine, and my interiors tend highlight variations on the tone—whether in the brown, yellow or burnt umber family, it’s a classic color that never goes out of style.

Boxes become an excellent way to store trinkets or hide clutter before company arrives. However you use it, it’s a highly fashionable gift that sets the tone for the room.

WOLF & BADGER

If you know me, you know I love marble & natural stone. I use it whenever possible in an interior, and so of course I love to gift it.

This year I am in love with Wolf & Badger’s collection of marble home goods. Their Anatoliacraft Marble Bowls are beyond stunning—I am restraining myself from purchasing all three for my homes! I’m certain one of these stunning marbles will match the home of a beloved friend, client or family member. So don’t wait, they are all on sale now!

CB2

This year I am gifting glass decanters and even though some of us are skipping the booze, you can indeed fill your decanter with your fave zero proof spirit.

This 32oz Stud Glass Decanter offers a stunning art deco design for the modern bar, and it’s on sale now! And don’t worry about matching, the beauty of curating decanter gifts every year for someone special is the kelidiscope of textures and shapes that create a compelling bar area. So if you need more than one, or want to stock up for next year, the Duval Glass Decanter & the Sofia Short Wide Wine Decanter by Gianfranco Frattini from CB2 are eye-catching!

As always, coffee table books are a stylish gift to give that look excellent on benches, credenzas and of course coffee tables. I could make a long list of all the best coffee table books, but for now I’m going to share a few recently published Interior Design coffee table books that I am loving right now from Rizzoli, Phaidon & Assouline.

AD AT Home

Hot off the press, Architectural Digest dropped their lates coffee table book, AD at Home—a stunning collection of interiors from across styles and the globe.

WOMEN

Annie Leibovitz shares a curated collection of stunning portraits in her previously released 1999 collection Women, now with an additional book with a selection of portraits and text from Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Susan Sontag, and Gloria Steinem.

JAMES BOND CARS

If you know me, you know I love cars. Growing up in Los Angeles exposed me to some of the most stunning classic cars on the planet.

Now, with the newly released James Bond Cars, one can enjoy the extensive collection of vehicles showcased throughout the James Bond series.

Let me know what you think & if you give or receive any of these stunning gifts in the comments below!
