The Gift Edit

Expressions of love exist in many forms – such demonstrations of fellow feeling can be small or large. The beauty of these sentiments is that there is no singular way to communicate or experience them. The art of gifting not only considers the item itself but what it says about your connection to its recipient. The object is a physical reminder of shared understanding, a commitment to knowing that person, and a delight in giving something to bring them joy. Although there are many occasions when we take time to exchange gifts, we do not need to wait for a particular date to celebrate someone – their enduring importance is reason enough. 

The desire to give comes easy, but deciding on the perfect gift isn’t always so simple. An infallible mantra when it comes to giving is that if you are tempted to keep it for yourself, it is probably an excellent gift. Alternatively, look to their style and spirit to guide you to something that that they will treasure forever. We all know a fiendish gourmand, who loves to host sumptuous dinners and has an extensive collection of cookbooks; and then there is the horticulturist who has nimble green fingers and somehow remembers the taxonomy of exotic plants; and of course the aesthete who devours articles on design and has an impeccably curated home. With a little help from our edit, make an impression on your friends and family with a gift to match their lovable idiosyncrasies. 

"A gift is not just an object given, but a symbol of your connection to a person and their enduring importance."
 
The Gourmand

The person who knows the newest haunt for dinner and has an immaculate spice collection, for the Gourmand, beautiful tabletop objects befit their exquisite taste in all that is culinary. The Lina Saleh Botanical Stacking Plates set the stage for various courses of dinners made and the Laurence Brabant Inseparables show that everything down to the last detail has been considered.

The Horticulturist

When the plant that was once vibrant starts to wilt you call upon this person for their wisdom in all things green and leafy. Their gardeners touch seems to fill their home with such a calm energy that only the most dynamic of gifts will suffice – we look to Nude Glass for their bijoux Roots Herb Pot or Laurence Brabant for their transcendent Punk Vase.

The Avant Garde

For them, everything worth seeing or buying is known about months before it reaches the masses – so how do you surpass the Avant Garde who lives and breathes all that is à la mode? The AYTM Torus Vase looks picture perfect with long stemmed tulips and the dreamy Lex Pott Twist Candle should satisfy the most modern of people.

The Conscientious Collector

With a mind to the provenance and artistry of things, the Conscientious Collector wants to know the story behind their objects and play a part in supporting the artisans who created them. To assist them in their pursuit, look no further than Paola Paronetto’s Paper Clay Bowls which have an intricacy that tells the narrative of the handworked process of their creator; or the Bel Candle by 3rd Ritual that summons up century old practices of meditation.

The Aesthete

A sharp eye for design and a cultivated taste the Aesthete knows what they like and is not swayed by momentary trends. When thinking of gifts for them look to classics like the Ernesto candle by Cire Trudon, or a piece of timeless design like Apparatus Studio’s Censer Incense – nothing less than the finest will do.
