Beautiful Things for Beautiful Homes: 2025’s Ultimate Design Gift Guide
The holidays are all about giving something that feels meaningful—something beautiful, considered, and crafted with care. Whether you’re shopping for a true design enthusiast or someone who simply loves a well-made object, this gift guide brings together thoughtful pieces that add character, comfort, and a little magic to the everyday home.
For the Art Lover in Your Life
Soft geometry, subtle texture, and modern simplicity. Mon Coeur Est Fort by Gregory Gove from Fullhouse Modern brings a serene yet impactful edge to any room—ideal for the person who loves art that quietly makes a statement.
For the Host Who Loves to Impress
The perfect mix of beauty and function: the Alessi Pick-Up Side Table with built-in bottle container available at Design House Vancouver plus the Norlan Whisky Glass available at Walrus. A sculptural table that keeps drinks ready; a glass engineered for the perfect pour. Together, they turn everyday hosting into a design moment.
For the Nature-Inspired Design Lover
If they gravitate toward materials with soul and pieces that feel connected to the natural world, the Ferm Living Oyster Wall Lamp from Old Faithful is a beautiful choice. Crafted from cast recycled aluminum, its softened, sculptural form echoes an oyster shell found along the shoreline. The textured surface and organic curves create the kind of warm, atmospheric lighting design lovers adore.
Another thoughtful option is the Pacific Series Wall Sculpture by local BC artist Origins (one of personal fav’s). Carved from solid wood and inspired by the movement of the Pacific Ocean, its rippling form adds depth, warmth, and a grounding sense of place to any interior.
Both pieces celebrate nature, craftsmanship, and organic form—perfect for anyone who appreciates design that feels alive and richly textured.
For the One Who Appreciates the Perfect Little Object
Looking for a small but meaningful gift? The Slurp Cup from Walrus is individually hand-glazed, meaning no two pieces are ever the same. Colourful, charming, and endlessly versatile—use it for coffee, tea, matcha, or even as a tiny planter—it’s the kind of piece that makes daily moments feel a little more special.
For the Minimalist Who Loves Beauty and Comfort
For the friend who appreciates simplicity done well, two thoughtful gifts rise to the top. The Ridge Medium Vase from Muuto, available at LivingSpace, offers quiet sophistication with its gentle, architectural lines. Whether displayed empty as a sculptural statement or filled with fresh stems, it brings a refined calm to any room—perfect for the minimalist who loves objects with purpose and poise.
On the cozier side, the OFS Merino Lambswool Throw – White Graph from Old Faithful Shop is soft, breathable, and beautifully woven. Ideal for slow mornings, reading nooks, or movie nights, it adds warmth without sacrificing aesthetics. Together on this slide, both pieces celebrate the idea of living simply—and living beautifully.
For the Modern Nomad in Your Life
For the friend who loves adaptable, design-forward pieces, the Setago Portable Table Lamp – Marron/Grape from Old Faithful Shop is a must. Inspired by mushroom silhouettes, this cordless lamp is charming, portable, and easy to place anywhere—from bedside to patio. A beautiful, flexible lighting piece for any modern home.
From Ferm Living, the Nova Storage Box proves that only the Danes can elevate even the simplest everyday object. Minimal, refined, and endlessly practical, it’s perfect for keeping small essentials tucked away in style.
Another lovely option is the Soothe Block Candle Holder, crafted in gently sculpted brass. Understated yet striking, it makes a timeless hostess gift for anyone who appreciates warm, elegant details.
And for the friend who loves a tidy, well-designed space, the Haze Wall Cabinet takes storage to the next level. Available in brushed stainless steel and several contemporary colours, it brings a refined, modern touch to kitchens, bathrooms, or hallways while discreetly concealing everyday clutter.
We hope this Holiday Gift Guide has sparked inspiration for everyone on your list. From cozy comforts to sculptural décor, each piece was chosen with beauty and intention in mind. There’s something special about giving a gift that feels personal and well considered. What will you be gifting your loved ones this season?
