Field Candlestick Set, $27 at the Dwell Store
The colorful Field Candlestick Sets from Good Thing are a perfect gift for the hosts and hostesses on your holiday list. They blend the traditional appeal of taper candlesticks on a table while adding a playful punch of color and shape. The holders are also small enough to easily slide into a stocking.
YStudio Mechanical Brass Pencil, $100 at the Dwell Store
Everyone will want to swap an old No. 2 pencil for this heirloom-quality brass instrument from YStudio. Weighty when in hand, this pencil gives a sense of purpose to note taking, doodles, or sketching. The materials used in the pencil allow it to oxidize over time, creating a distinct patina. Or, it can be treated with bronze oil to keep its luxe shine. This image depicts a shiny new pencil on the right and an aged pencil on the left.
Falcon Enamelware Tumbler, $8 at the Dwell Store
A best seller from the Dwell Store, this enamelware tumbler is an iconic gift at an accessible price point. Durable and designed for indoor and outdoor use, the tumbler can be mixed and matched with other colors in the series, used individually, or made into a set.
Rien Water Glass – Set of 4, $56 at the Dwell Store
These stackable drinking glasses from Berlin–based NEW TENDENCY are versatile and stylish—a perfect gift for the at-home bartender on your list. The glasses can be used for water or spirits, and are designed to appear delicate while maintaining durability. The glasses can be used for dressy affairs alongside casual, everyday meals.
Tom Dixon Etched Tea Light Holder, $80 at the Dwell Store
Cool, geometric, and sleek, this tea light holder from Tom Dixon makes an excellent gift for the person on your list who knows a thing or two about decor—or arithmetic. The structure of the holder is comprised of sections of thin etched metal sheets that are inspired by the logic of pure mathematics. Each sheet has a series of finely etched holes that create intricate shadows when the interior candle is lit.
Donna Wilson Aravalli Throw, $275 at the Dwell Store
We bet you’ve got a snuggler on your list. Give her something she can wrap herself in on Christmas morning, like this colorful throw blanket from Scottish designer Donna Wilson.
