WE'LL BE the first to admit that this first instalment of our TIG Holiday Gift Guide is more like a personal shopping list of the things we've been coveting (such as the beautiful electric bicycle made in Brooklyn and the Céline Fair Isle jersey) rather than a straight-up gift guide.
WE TRIED TO come up with a few different ideas this year for the men in your life⏤a silver retro-style rotary-inspired telephone, an all-aluminium suitcase, an eggplant serving platter, and a striped throw cushion. There are, of course, old favourites as well: a Fair Isle jumper, a cashmere scarf and glove set, a cedarwood candle and more.
Every year, there are always people on our lists that are difficult to buy for⏤good neighbours who surprise you with a thoughtful gift even though you had nothing for them; your boss or favourite co-workers, or your Aunt Margaret who's suddenly decided to come stay from out of town. We normally have things saved away for such emergencies and thought that we might create chic Gift Boxes for our readers to keep for similar situations that might come up ...
A new range of candles have arrived at The Shop: made of 100% soy wax, these candles burn slowly and envelope the room in a warm, cosy scent. And better yet, they help those with disabilities find meaningful work. From raw materials to end product, this range was produced at a sheltered employment facility where people who need a little extra help receive services and training to develop work-related skills.
IT IS THAT TIME of year again, the time for wreaths and fairy lights and holiday films and bits of gift wrap and ribbon and shortbread cookies everywhere. We saw an Instagram comment by someone yesterday stating that she might get drunk and put up the tree tonight (it was a Tuesday). Yes, regular hours and workdays fade away during this time of year, which is decidedly more free-flowing and therefore, festive ...
These two weeks at work, I’ve been paying attention to what people are shopping for, for Christmas, and there is a certain common that is running through everyone's purchases: cosiness ...
Even if the internet is full of gift ideas, there is still some place left for more inspiration. This shopping list is dedicated to those who have a beloved one who really cares about skin.
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. ―T. S. Eliot
While we’re getting ready for a festive month, in some cities the first snowfall has already been celebrated, and morning coffee is being taken more and more often under the covers, even though I just discovered a pretty café in my neighbourhood.
A Gift Guide for those in your life with an appreciation for Dieter Rams and beautifully designed things, whose coffee tables are stacked with thick books on the subject, we've selected for you a few classics, old and new--art deco drop earrings and industrial-inspired ones too; vintage-inspired shoulder bags and timepieces mean to stand the test of, well, time...
She always knows the best restaurants to go to, often forgets to update her Instagram and switches effortlessly between three languages. This Gift Guide is for the chicest girl you know...
Maybe this is a little biased as I am the designer, but I never tire of this portfolio case. Use it as passport and travel holder or to transport your tablet and notebooks. The Sedgwick leather is stunning and will last for ever.
COLDER DAYS are here again, and we've rounded up two new ways to style the Belgrave Crescent Tuscany Tote. Whether your style is preppy and chic, favouring a dusky teal wool felt coat and camel scarf with pale pink leather ankle boots, or more casual and laid-back in powdery blue jeans, a cashmere knit sweater and lilac-coloured puffer coat, we have the best pieces for the most perfect, put-together look ...
The first Holiday Gift Guide of the season is for The Sophisticate — leopard print cushions made of velvet and pink-rimmed porcelain platters, ginger jars and perfume that smells like a flower market, a set of artisanal handmade knives with Swedish steel and carved wooden handles made of Spelted Beech and African Olive and more …
The gifts for the polymath: the person in your life whose knowledge seems to have no bounds. She has exquisite taste in clothes, making every trend her own; she’s a regular at Art Basel and Frieze, surrounding herself with the newest and brightest talents in the artistic fields...
