Original article posted at Design Manager.
There is no question that 2020 has been a challenging year, bringing more than a few stressful experiences. At a time when we can all appreciate the cheerful spirit of the holiday season, gift giving is that much more meaningful. If you are looking forward to surprising your clients and colleagues with special presents this year, look no further than the Design Manager Gift Guide: 2020 Edition. It’s full of ideas that channel the personal, home-centric vibe that we are seeking as the year comes to a close.
Sophisticated Stationery
COVID has made it difficult to see friends and family this year, which is particularly trying during this time of year when people typically gather to celebrate with their nearest and dearest. Let your loved ones know you’re thinking of them with a hand-written note on an artfully made card, or give the mutually giving gift of hand and mind thought provocation with a beautiful notebook or planner.
Art
As an interior designer, you know your clients’ aesthetic tastes inside out. Gifting art is absolutely apropo. 1stDibs, the leading luxury art and antiques platform, is the perfect place to find a perfectly personal piece of fine art.
Luxury Decanter
After spending more time at home this year, the small touches of glamour we can bring to our routines make a big difference. Your clients and colleagues will enjoy sipping brandy or a glass of wine by the fire using an artisan decanter to brighten the aesthetics of their chosen spirits. And, since we’ll be having our holiday cocktails at home a bit more than usual this year, this gift will be especially appreciated.
Candles
A richly scented candle can transform any ordinary room into a cosy den where the imagination can blossom.
Iconic Table Lamps from 1stDibs
Table lamps are like an accessory with utility – beauty, with a bonus. Knowing your client’s spaces so well, you’ll know just where one of these iconic pieces from internationally renowned artists can fit into your client’s home.
Delightful Delectables
For the gourmand in your Rolodex, you’ll be sure to please with the gift of rich delicacies from abroad.
