Giving gifts is an art. Like all art, it can be beautiful and thought-provoking—or go horribly wrong. The perfect gift should both show that you know the recipient very well and serve as a reminder of you each time it’s seen or used. Presents for the home can be particularly difficult as each home is so personal and sacred, but I have some ideas! Let’s break it down by room.

FOR THE LIVING ROOM

Vintage Silver-Plated Ashtrays
Nara Himalayan Cashmere Blanket
Vintage Table Lighter
Fidelio 5” x 7” Frame
Pétanque Small Silver-Plated Vase

My favorite throw blankets are from Denis Colomb. The colors and patterns are stunning, and the quality is excellent. They also offer a nice variety of price points depending on how much you like the giftee.
