The Best Housewarming Gifts For Style Connoisseurs
From sumptuous cashmere blankets that will add warmth to a new home to one-of-a-kind pieces you can cherish forever, discover the best homeware gifts to give your design-forward loved ones
A trio of scented candles
More is more when it comes to candles. Soho Home’s set of three is inspired by the laid-back vibes of Soho Roc House on the Greek island of Mykonos, transporting you straight to an idyllic Cyclades scene. Housed in beautifully minimalist ceramic vessels and packaged in a presentation box, the candles have inviting scents such as Bergamot & Mandarin Zest, Leather & Oud and Tonka & Florum.
A marble kiss
Kelly Wearstler’s ‘Classic Little Kiss’ – a sweet, hand-sculpted marble piece crafted in the shape of lips – is an ornament that will be proudly displayed and cherished. The designer is renowned for her expertly carved pieces, which add a cool, unique and luxurious aesthetic to any environment.
A jubilant coffee set
A classic gift of coffee cups gets a maximalist upgrade in La DoubleJ’s rainbow hues. Painted in vivid tones and offset by polished gold-plated trim, the delightful espresso cups and saucers (a collaboration with renowned Italian porcelain producer Ancap) make for the most joyful addition to any relaxing coffee morning – even more so because they are dishwasher safe.
A sumptuous throw
Nothing adds such instantaneous comfort to a new home as a soft and sumptuous blanket, ready to be cozied up in on the sofa or draped over an armchair. JW Anderson’s exclusive, limited-edition collection for FW21 is crafted in Scotland from a lambswool and cashmere blend and has been created with the ceramicist Dame Magdalene Odundo, featuring commissioned artworks such as this ‘Seated Figure’.
A playful plate
Laetitia Rouget’s statement-making, conversation-starting ceramics are gifts that will bring joy to hosts and guests alike. An apt present for anyone in your life who is a lover of the cheese course, the artist’s white-and-red ceramic plate is printed with the declaration, “Her main passion in life is cheese”.
A kitchen instrument
A beautiful and practical gift, Brunello Cucinelli’s sleek pestle and mortar (made from dark walnut wood and white Krion, complete with a suede strap) is sure to thrill any foodie – and should secure your invitation to future dinner parties.
A patchwork blanket
With a vibrant and homemade look and feel, The Elder Statesman’s blankets are intricately crocheted by hand in a patchwork of colorful cashmere squares. Perfect for layering up textures and tones in a room, this beautiful blanket is sure to make any new abode feel like a home.
A custom crystal
A striking candle
Loewe Home Scents’ candles are as impressive in stature as they are in scent. Created as a collaboration between creative director Jonathan Anderson and master perfumer Nuria Cruelles, each brightly hued candle is infused with a scent that is inspired by nature – the bold-red ‘Tomato Leaves’, for example, makes a striking centerpiece for any stylish tablescape.
A mischievous masterpiece
Known for her cheeky earthenware, Anissa Kermiche’s ‘L’Egg’ cup comes in the designer’s signature derrière shape. Whether it’s used as a single-stem vase, candle holder or egg cup (or purely displayed for decoration), this is a gift that will bring pleasure to its owner and be the talking point at every dinner party they host.
