Modern Gift Ideas
Host/Hostess Gifts
This year, use hosting and entertaining as sources of gifting inspiration. Host and hostess gift ideas center kitchen and dining essentials that can be elaborate or understated. Ultimately functional, these items can be some of the most useful gifts your loved ones (and their guests) will bring out for holidays to come. Especially useful around the new year, entertaining gifts can double as housewarming gifts, no extra effort required. Shop wine and bar gifts including glassware and bar tools; tea and coffee gifts like colorful teapots and mugs; and other gifts for entertainers like table centerpieces, charcuterie boards, and more.
Design Gifts
Choosing the perfect gifts for interior designers, design lovers, or those on your list with curated interests and selective taste can be intimidating – if you don’t know the right place to look. At Design Within Reach, shop modernist home decor accents that marry playfulness with sophistication, including unique clocks, designer prints, modern decorative objects, unique vases, and fun candleholders. Or scale up with iconic furniture pieces or light fixtures that will resonate with design enthusiasts, like the Eames Lounge Chair, the Noguchi Table, and limited edition DWR exclusives.
Cozy Gifts
Though unique, think-outside-the-box gifts certainly serve impact, sometimes the best gifts are those that enhance your loved ones’ comfort zones. For the couch surfers in your life, consider items that will enhance the coziness and warmth of a loved one’s home: plush throw pillows; thick, textured throw blankets; lushly upholstered floor poufs, and more. Present your friends and family with cozy gifts that will amplify the calming atmosphere of their home with inviting pillows and throws from Design Within Reach.
Plant Gifts
Show your loved ones you believe in their green thumbs with modern planters from Design Within Reach. Plant gifts like unique planters make excellent gifts for those who already keep a large number of plants – one can never have too many – or new plant owners eager to test their skills. If you’re unsure a plant would make a welcome gift, you can still gift your loved ones some greenery. DWR offers a wide range of elegant glass and ceramic vases perfect for floral bouquets or seasonal arrangements.
