The sleigh has landed!

From friends to furbabies, stocking-stuffers to Secret Santa, we’ve got gifting all wrapped up this season with our 2021 Christmas gift guide. To help you find the perfect presents for the ones you love, we’ve got 4 tips to consider.

Present-picking tips

• Assess their interests… cooking? Cocktails? Cockatoos? A little brainstorming (or social media stalking!) may lead you to the perfect lama print or drink trolley, and also shows you genuinely care about them and the things they’re into.
• Suss out their style… find clues in their existing décor. You may notice a theme in their home, such as coastal, tropical or floral, which will make it easier to pick out something on point that you know they’ll love and will fit with their styling aesthetic.
• Make it scent-amental… scented candles and oil diffusers are always a big hit as everyone loves them. Have a few extra wrapped and under the tree for unexpected guests or friends that may have slipped your mind. Beautiful flowers and plants are a great gift too — even the faux varieties make rooms feel fresh and alive.
• A little luxury… splash out and spoil the ones you love with something special they’ve had their eye on yet did feel like they deserved, like that hanging outdoor chair or fire pit you know they’ve been lusting after (and if you’re completely stumped, you can’t go wrong with a gift card!).

Gift ideas!

LET’S GET DECORATING

Sourced from India in an on-trend palette of gold, white, green and pink tones, this year’s elegant ornament range is chic, coastal and a little bit boho. They’re perfect for the tree and as placeholders at the Christmas table. (Psss… it’s never too early to start decorating the house, outdoor area and Christmas tree!)

GIFTS FOR GUYS

Got a fella in your life who’s notoriously tricky to find gifts for? Forget the socks and jocks… get him a stylish clock, print or mirror for the home office, dining zone or mancave. Or spoil that someone special with a luxe leather armchair or fire pit.

GIFTS FOR GALS

Pamper your favourite ladies with the prefect hand-picked present. From ceramics to salad servers, candles to cushions, there’s something gorgeous for every gal. Or for someone extra special, how about an outdoor lounge?

GIFTS FOR ENTERTAINERS

From long lunches to poolside drinks, formal dinner parties to casual barbies, give the host with the most in your life a stylish platter, serving tray or cocktail cart on wheels. They can roll it out to the sunroom or terrace and let happy hour begin!

GIFTS FOR PLANT-LOVERS

Treat your biophilic friends with some flower and plant décor to freshen their spaces. Pot plants, faux proteas, palm tree prints and planters… the options are endless. Whether in the living room or beneath the pergola, premium faux plants in boho baskets add a soothing ambience.

GIFTS FOR ANIMAL-Lovers

From monkeys and macaws to cats and canines, our menagerie of animal-themed prints, clocks, cushions and fauna-inspired décor will delight all the animal-enthusiasts on your list. How about a lama for the living room?

GIFTS FOR FURBABIES

The pawfect prezzy for your four-legged pal is undoubtedly a cushy new bed. These furbaby sofas come in a range of styles, fabrics and delicious colours to match your décor. Your four-legged friend will have the fanciest seat in the house.
