EVERY YEAR, around this time, it's a TIG tradition to share holiday inspiration. While this year is definitely not like other years, we still have to make the best of it. And so, this year, we share with you pretty festive wreaths on windows and doors, Christmas trees along sidewalk cafés in Paris and sweeping garlands down balustrades in the Upper East Side; evergreens draped in fairy lights, snow in the Cotswolds and more... 
ONE OF OUR VERY favourite things to do during the holidays is to spend an evening by the fire with a glass of cava, wrapping presents with Christmas music on and a mess of kraft paper, rolls of satin, velvet and grosgrain ribbon spread all over the living room floor.
IN THESE LAST DAYS before Christmas, the city sidewalks are filled with last-minute shoppers, merry with the flush of cava and happy to be jostled about by the elbows and shopping bags of grandmothers with arms filled with gifts, and couples hoping to surprise one another with their thoughtfulness. Everywhere, there seems to be a feeling of good cheer.
Some of us are endearingly terrible cooks but have excellent taste in food and love to eat, while there are others of us who always seem to be able to whip up the most delicious things with little notice and not much in the kitchen but a handful of staples. This Holiday Gift Guide is for them. From handblown decanters with 24k gold leaf stoppers, to white ceramic cocottes and the most beautifully engineered and exceptional knives—here is a Gift Guide for those who love to cook...
Christmas is a time when tradition really comes to the fore—it’s a time to create wonderful new traditions and to revisit classic ones that you have enjoyed for years. Decorating your home for the season and preparing gifts and food for friends and family offer some of the loveliest ways to enjoy traditions old and new in your home during this holidays.
