The Vibe-Driven Gift Guide 2025

Gifting should feel personal. It’s not about checking boxes like “under $100” or “for him or her.” It’s about finding something that truly reflects the person you’re buying for — something that fits their space, their energy, and their aesthetic.

This guide is organized by vibe, not by category. Whether they’re the host who always has a candle burning, the design-lover who already has everything, or the bold friend who treats every room like a stage, you’ll find gifts that feel thoughtful, stylish, and completely them.

To make things even easier, we have created a Holiday Gift Guide collection with featured products perfect for every personality, style, and space!


For the Host Who Always Has a Candle Burning

Curated for: the cozy entertainer, the friend who owns linen napkins and always has a playlist going.

They’re warm, welcoming, and effortlessly put-together. Their home smells like sandalwood or citrus, their lighting is always flattering, and they know exactly how to make guests feel at ease. Help them turn everyday hosting into an art form.

Gift ideas:

  • Sculptural Candleholders – For intimate dinner parties and tablescapes that feel elevated.

Suggested Product: Chambers Candle Holders, Set of 3 by Renwil

This sleek trio of matte black candle holders adds a modern sculptural touch to any tablescape. With three varying heights, they’re perfect for creating warm, layered ambiance.

 

  • Abstract Wall Sconces – Eye-catching designs that double as sculpture.

Suggested Product: Aldean Wall Sconce by Troy Lighting

Inspired by the delicate buds of a dill plant, the Aldean Wall Sconce features clusters of handcrafted Cloud Glass shades supported by a Vintage Gold Leaf framework. When illuminated, it casts dramatic shadows on the ceiling, adding depth and ambiance to any space. Perfect for the entertainer who appreciates sculptural elegance and subtle drama.

     

    • Elegant Portable Lamps — Portable by design, polished by style. These lamps bring graceful illumination wherever your gatherings go.

    Suggested Product: Wick Portable Lamp by Graypants

    Perfect for anyone who loves candlelight but craves the convenience of modern design. This rechargeable lamp blends the soft warmth of a flicker with the versatility of cordless lighting. Its plated aluminum body and ergonomic handle feel both nostalgic and sleek, while multiple brightness levels and a long-lasting USB‑C battery make it ideal for moving from dining tables to patios with ease.

     

    • Simple But Luxe Lighting — Clean lines, warm metals, and soft glows that feel effortlessly elegant and timeless.

Rechargeable and portable, it’s perfect for creating serene, adaptable lighting in any calm, minimalist space.

     

    For the Design-Lover Who’s Impossible to Shop For

    Curated for: the collector. The friend who can name five Italian lighting designers off the top of their head and has already seen next year’s trend forecasts.

    They live for design fairs, obsess over craftsmanship, and already own the iconic “it” pieces. Shopping for them is intimidating (unless you go niche). Seek out unique lighting silhouettes, textural details, and objects that feel a little bit rare.

    Gift ideas:

    • A Timeless Table Lamp – A statement piece that holds history.

    Suggested Product: Nessino Table Lamp by Artemide

    A true design icon in compact form. Originally designed in the 1960s by Giancarlo Mattioli and Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova, the Nessino is a reissue of the beloved Nesso lamp—now sized for modern living. Its bold mushroom shape and bright orange or white finish bring a dash of retro flair to desks, shelves, or side tables.

     

    • A Designer Wall Light – An iconic design that blends function and elegance, perfect for the design-lover who appreciates both form and flexibility.

    Suggested Product: Tolomeo With Shade Wall Lamp by Artemide

    A refined take on an iconic design, the Tolomeo With Shade Wall Lamp pairs adjustable aluminum arms with a softly diffused fabric shade. Perfect for bedrooms, reading nooks, or lounge areas, it offers both elegance and function. Choose plug-in or hardwired options to suit your space and enjoy timeless Italian craftsmanship with a modern edge.

     

    • A Design Icon To-Go – Sleek, sculptural, and effortlessly cool. A portable table light piece for the design-obsessed.

    Suggested Product: Bellhop Battery Table Lamp by Flos

    The Bellhop Battery Table Lamp by Flos is a minimalist masterpiece of portable design. Created by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, it offers soft, dimmable LED light with up to 24 hours of cordless glow. Its sleek polycarbonate form and sculptural silhouette make it perfect for stylish desks, side tables, or shelves — wherever elegant form meets ambient function.

       

      • A Pendant That Transcends Trends – A thoughtful gift for lovers of iconic design.

      Suggested Product: PH 2/1 Pendant by  Louis Poulsen

      A study in functional elegance, this pendant features Poul Henningsen’s signature three-shade system of hand-blown opal glass and polished aluminum, arranged along a logarithmic spiral. It diffuses glare-free light downward while softly illuminating the surroundings. Compact yet architectural, it adds a refined sculptural presence. Perfect over dining nooks, study desks, or cozy corners.

       

      For the “Soft Minimalist” in Your Life

      Curated for: the quiet curator. The one who shops in neutrals, lives by slow mornings, and finds joy in the little details.

      Their space is a mix of organic textures, warm neutrals, and light you can breathe in. Every corner is thoughtful, calm, and uncluttered. They love things that are simple but rich with intention, pieces that feel like part of a ritual.

      Gift ideas:

      • Travertine or Marble Side Tables – Sculptural and grounding pieces that add quiet luxury to any corner or bedside.

      Suggested Product: Antares Side Table by Renwil

      • Organic Ceramic Vases – Perfectly imperfect with an earthy, handmade feel.

      Suggested Product: Dedali Vase by Ferm Living

      Crafted from 3D-printed ceramic, the Dedali Vase features an intricate labyrinth-inspired design that adds sculptural elegance to any space. Its off-white finish and versatile size make it perfect for showcasing a single bloom or as a standalone art piece. Ideal for the minimalist who appreciates both form and function.

       

      • Cozy Rugs – A must for post-dinner lounging or reading corners.

      Suggested Product: Animal Tufted Rug by Ferm Living

      Soft, playful, and full of personality, this hand-tufted polar bear rug brings warmth and whimsy to any cozy corner. Made from natural wool with subtle texture variations, it works just as beautifully on the wall as it does underfoot. A perfect gift for someone who loves adding personality and warmth to their home, especially thoughtful for moms creating a magical playroom their kids will adore.

       

      • Designer Wall Art – Statement pieces that feel like they were discovered in a hidden gallery in Milan.

      Suggested Product: Yanno Canvas Art by Renwil

      This all-white, hand-painted canvas makes a bold statement through texture alone - no colour needed. Sweeping, raised brushstrokes give it sculptural depth, while the champagne-silver floating frame adds a touch of modern elegance. Measuring 60" × 30", it demands presence and immediately elevates any contemporary interior.

         

        For the “Main Character” Friend

        Curated for: the maximalist. The one who makes bold choices, dresses in dopamine brights, and treats their home like a stage.

        They’re magnetic, creative, and completely unapologetic. Their home is a layered mix of colour, shape, and joy. They gravitate toward the unexpected, and they love a good conversation piece. The more playful and dramatic, the better.

        Gift ideas:

        • Funky and Fun Pendant Lights – A pop of colour, a warm glow, and a whole lot of vibe.

        Suggested Product: Horo S1 Pendant by Masiero

        Capture main-character energy with this sculptural light designed by Pierre Gonalons. Featuring two prism glass discs suspended in a brushed brass frame, the Horo S1 delivers both ambiance and focus. The tinted glass shades (choose from transparent, smoky, pastel green, pink, or light blue) add vibrant flair, while the integrated LED offers a soft glow that flatters any skin tone or decor.

         

        • Playful Glassware – Swirled, bubbled, or bold designs for their next dinner party.

        Suggested Product: Still Teapot by Ferm Living

        Designed with a nod to traditional tea rituals, the Still Teapot brings together simplicity, balance, and quiet beauty. Its tinted glass body puts the brewing process on display, turning tea into a visual experience. The rounded glass lid adds a thoughtful detail—it’s weighted to gently spin in place rather than roll away, reflecting the calm and control of a well-made ritual.

         

        • Unapologetically Extra Decor – Think metallics, funky shapes, and anything with personality.

        Suggested Product: Love in Bloom Jewelry Box by Seletti

        A heart-shaped porcelain box wrapped in rich red velvet? Say less. Designed by Marcantonio, this bold, romantic piece is part sculpture, part keepsake container, and 100% main-character energy. Give it to the friend who loves drama, sentiment, and standout design.

         

        • A Playful Lamp – Full of charm and character for the one who doesn’t take design too seriously.

        Suggested Product: Maoo Table Lamp by Karman

        A playful, sculptural table lamp with dual personality: a matte ceramic cat seems to leap toward a glowing frosted globe that houses a whimsical mouse decal. Designed by Matteo Ugolini for Karman’s Zoo collection, it blends charm with soft diffused light. Compact, surprising, and delightfully original, it brings personality to desks, shelves, or bedside tables. Also available as a wall light.
