Six stylish Christmas home gifts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you’re in doubt about what to give a loved one for Christmas then a present for their home is always a great option. After all, there’s nothing quite like a handpicked treasure to make someone’s house feel just that little bit more comfortable, cosy and stylish.
For the person that appears to have everything, there’s almost always something, be it practical or decorative, on their homeware wishlist, so you can guarantee they won’t be disappointed. From fancy cocktail glasses to prints and super-soft furnishings, you’re sure to find something that suits their personality and their abode just right.
Celestial Coaster, £8, Anthropologie
The go-to destination for home bunnies looking for one-of-a-kind products for their abode, Anthropologie sell everything from unique furniture to kitchenware and décor. One of our favourite pieces though are these Celestial coasters that are made from clay, glass and glazed explosions of shimmering colour.
Available in five different shades depending on who they’re for, our favourite is slate – a stunning mix of deep emerald green, lime and stark white.
Winter Botanical Large Pillar Candle, £40, The White Company
Everyone loves a candle but there’s something that much more special about one from The White Company. For fragrance fans, this Winter Botanical Large Pillar Candle is a must-have that instantly fills the room with its warm, spicy scent.
Designed with three wicks, its seasonal whiff is enhanced by a generous infusion of cinnamon sticks, orange slices and red berries that mean it not only smells good, but looks great too.
Astratto Set of Four Espresso Cups & Saucers, £40, Oliver Bonas
For the coffee lover in your life that undoubtedly already owns a state-of-the-art machine, you can’t go wrong with a set of stylish cups and saucers. For this we suggest heading to Oliver Bonas where you can pick up the striking Astratto – meaning abstract in Italian – set.
Made from bone china, each one is finished with a block print offset with a hand-painted floral design that’s inspired by 1970s Italian influence. We also love the addition of gold used to accentuate their handles.
Cullen Wall Clock, £49, Made
A firm favourite among interior design fans, Made is a great place to buy bespoke or designer homeware that’s also pocket-friendly. One for the marble aficionados and those that are always running late, this green and copper wall clock promises to add a touch of luxury to any home.
Made without numbers, the copper hands combined with the grey and green classic marble mean it’s a minimalist lover’s dream, while the Quartz mechanism ensures absolute accuracy that’s built to last.
Eliza Bar Trolley, £349, Swoon Editions
Drinks trolleys have made a comeback this year as more of us take pride in entertaining at home. So, if your loved one adores bringing friends and family together for a tipple or two this could be the perfect Christmas gift.
An ode to all things decadent, this Eliza bar trolley is made with delicately veined white marble and brass-painted frames while the castor feet and wine glass hanging rack mean it’s functional too
Herbarium Bee Incense Burner, £140, Gucci
Fashion fans will be well aware that Gucci launched its very own range of homeware earlier this year and, as you’d expect, it’s every bit as extravagant as creative director Alessandro Michele’s sartotial collections.
While much of the range is on the pricey side – the most expensive being £21,000 – there are smaller pieces that mean you can gift your loved one a little bit of luxury without breaking the bank. For this we suggest picking up the Herbarium Bee Incense Burner that’s designed with a centre bee, an icon taken from Gucci’s 1970s archives.
