We usually stick to useful, fun, and affordable gifts in our gift giving series, but sometimes you may just want a little something “unnecessary” or “indulgent” for your special someone.  Just because they may be a little pricier than our usual blog items doesn’t mean they’re less deserving of a spot on our list.  Here are some of my favorites!

 

Kolman Artisan Glass is one of my FAV artists.  Connie creates the most beautiful pieces of glass in just about every color you could think of.  Her work is usually custom projects, but this year she has created these beautiful trays with her signature art glass bases.  Totally functional, it is a piece of usable art for your lucky recipient!

I was in the Kravet Boston Showroom with a client and walked past the fabric used on this throw.  My client stopped in his tracks and couldn’t believe how soft and cozy it was.  Yes, there are faux fur throws everywhere this season, but trust me, this is the softest you’ll find!

Here’s the perfect blend of a set of glasses that are different, yet classic.  The weight and feel of these glasses makes anything you’re drinking taste even better!

Jonathan Adler always has some of my favorite unique takes on “ho-hum” items.  Perk up your bartender’s day with one of these sets for a stylish home bar.

I saw this bench in the Currey and Co. showroom in Atlanta and was taken aback by it’s uniqueness.  Pictures don’t do it justice, as it is a piece of art for your yard.  Maybe a splurge for that gardener on your list?

Who doesn’t need a cozy spa robe? Personalize it and you’ve created a very special gift.  And Matouk is (always) as cozy as it gets!

A simple set of crisp, white, embroidered sheets is a great gift idea for that new homeowner.  They have enough housewares, so treat them to a good night’s sleep!
