THE DESIGN CHASER

Christmas Gift Guide for Design Lovers

12.10.2018

When I started putting a design-focused gift guide together last week, my approach was to instinctively start thinking about what was on my own wish list, and where possible sourcing local finds. As it started to grow, I quickly realised I needed to break it down into categories. But rather than the standard ideas around 'gifts for her' and 'gifts for him', I could see three clear groups emerging. The first is a range of interior products, and includes a selection of furniture, lighting, textiles, art and object. Authentic, thoughtful pieces for considered spaces, these are ideal for design lovers and those who seek sustainable style.

The next category is a range of beautiful and inspiring coffee table books that are also on my current wish list, including The Eye by Kinfolk founder Nathan Williams and a collection of works by renowned Belgium architect Vincent Van Duysen. I really hope my husband is checking this out!

Lastly, I have created a selection of beauty/wellness products. Some of these were inspired by beautiful gifts I have received in the lead up to Christmas, so you may have caught glimpses of them on my Instagram page and stories. Brands that I truly love, there are also plenty of ideas here for treating yourself!

  1. I've been scouring the web lately for some good gift ideas for the season, especially not the regular typical ones. I love the candle holders you posted about. I also like the robe as a gift for a family member.
