At Home in the Modern World

Holiday Gift Guide

Host and Hostess Gifts

Dwell founder Lara Deam: I just recently finished my own remodel, so I've been thinking a lot about finishing touches to make my house feel like home. Here are a few favorite items that I would love to find underneath my tree!

Action Runner

It's easy for lists to get a little overwhelming, so I love these pads to help keep to-dos in order. All of the Action Series products from Behance Outfitters are really well designed to jot things down as they come up, and this Action Runner would be a perfect present for all your busy friends.

Haikus Dinnerware by Marcel Wanders for B&B Italia

Marcel Wanders designed the Haikus decorative plates for B&B Italia's Object Collection, a unique, beautiful collaboration between the Dutch designer and Italian brand. What's not to like?

Wave Hangers

Having a place to hang a coat or bag on the way in and out of the house is so handy, and this simple, graphic rack from Design House Stockholm would keep things tidy by the front door.
pinot noir bty square

Trois Filles Pinot Noir

It's always a good idea to have a few extra bottles of wine on hand around this time of year. Whether you bring for a holiday host or hostess, give it to a surprise gifter, or treat yourself, this Pinot Noir from Marin County is a lovely choice.

Cashmere Throw

There's no better way to spend a chilly fall evening at home than wrapped up in a cozy throw. These cashmere blankets are a steal for something so soft, and Restoration Hardware offers a nice selection of classic colors to choose from.

Prismatic Bowls

You could put anything—peanuts, M&Ms, after-dinner mints—in these iridescent bowls and it would look like an elegant spread (plus they're small, so they wouldn't take up much space in the cabinet when they weren't wowing your guests).
Plastica bento box

Bento Box

Packed lunches don't have to get smooshed into an old brown paper bag. Stacking your snacks in these melamine bento boxes is such a smart idea, and they'd also work to sort and store your knickknacks around the house. Fun colors, too!
