The holiday season is upon us, and at GHD, that means its time to share our 2024 gift guides. Whether you're shopping for a the foodie, the homebody, the host/hostess, or even the kids, we've curated a list of thoughtful and unique gift ideas for everyone on your list. Check out our handpicked selections below!
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE FOODIE
Breville Milk Frother: Perfect, foamy lattes at home, every time. Great for anyone who
doesn’t want to rush to the cafe on Saturday (or any) morning.
Rosemary Caramel Chocolate Bar: Gooey caramel elevated with notes of herbaceous, floral rosemary and dark chocolate. Need we say more?
Vintage Cutting Boards: These cutting boards add warmth to any kitchen and any chef will appreciate the addition of a little culinary history under their knives while they chop.
Olive Oil Cake Mix: This cake mix is good enough for even the most experienced baker to be proud of- super moist and rich. Plus, if you're in a pinch and need to take something to a party, this cake will surely impress.
Stoneware Bowl: Elevate your dining experience with the handmade Caen Stoneware Bowl from Sedimentary Objects.
Le Sud Cookbook: Merde! When is vacation, again? The photos in this cookbook are as delicious as the recipes and both make Provence feel just a little closer to home.
Bermondsey Bramble Jam: This blackberry bramble jam elevates simple toast into Sunday brunch - this is even delicious on some ice cream.
Branche Olive Oil: For the foodie, a nice bottle of olive oil can be even better than a bottle of wine, especially this one by Branche. It's great for drizzling on salads and finishing roasting veggies.
Le Creuset Bread Oven: For those of us who kept the sour dough bread baking going, this bread oven takes it up a notch.
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE KIDS, FROM TOTS TO TEENS
Bird Feeder: We love a gift that needs to have some assembly required as part of the fun. This bird feeder kit is part craft, part future nature lover essential.
Pickleball Paddle: If you want your teens to play pickleball with you, you might need to level up. This pretty paddle comes in three fun colors/patterns.
Faber-Castell Colored Pencil Set: For the budding artist, this set can keep them creating for hours.
Don’t forget to add a sharpener.
1,000 Record Covers Book: This book is a blast from the past. It is part graphic design history and part nostalgia. Young or old, if a vinyl lover is on your list, this is the gift for them.
Big Sur Car Toy: This Big Sur wooden car is a nod to simpler times when imagination was the key to play.
Hunter Rain Boots: Cute little yellow rain boots, and they come in lots of colors - perfect for splashing in puddles on a rainy day. How can you not love these?
Fender Acoustic Guitar: Getting a guitar is always cool. This one from Fender is especially so. It is never too early to develop a love of music..or too late.
Art Dice: This is a way to put those pencils to use, and fun for the family. Art dice keep the creativity going. Roll,
draw and have fun.
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE HOST/HOSTESS
Champagne Truffles: These Charbonnel et Walker Champagne Truffles in pretty Red Cracker on each place setting will dress up a table and double as a party favor.
Woven Pitcher: This recycled glass and seagrass pitcher brightens up the breakfast table.
Panettone: With flavors like Banana Chocolate Caramel and Pistachio Cherry, you can't go wrong with this From Roy Panettone. It's baked locally in Los Gatos and it's delicious!
Ceramic Vase: If you are taking flowers (and we love that idea) become a favorite guest by arranging them in a vase beforehand. This one will do nicely.
Gingham Napkins: We are a sucker for a beautiful set of napkins and if napkins can be cozy, these from West Elm surely are. Soft enough and no ironing required. Win, win, winning.
Jo Malone Candle: Is it just us or does it feel extra fancy when a candle is burning as your guests arrive? This one by Jo Malone comes beautifully wrapped already and it smells divine.
Potted Olive Topiary: This little olive tree is a perfect, no fuss gift, and looks adorable on a fireplace mantel - no vase or arranging required.
Chocolate Gift Box: Chocolate is always welcome and especially La Maison du Chocolate. We always keep a few boxes on hand for the impromptu soirée.
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE HOMEBODY
Hatch Restore 2: A sleek but organic looking alarm clock that gently wakes you up instead of jolting you awake? Sign us up.
Sage Mohair Blanket: There's nothing like cuddling up under a super-soft, luxurious mohair throw. This blanket is the perfect way to stay warm in the colder months without sacrificing on style.
Rose Velvet Slippers: Getting out of bed can be hard this time of year. Make the walk to the coffee pot a little easier by stepping into these shearling-lined velvet slippers.
Artful Home Book: For the homebody, home is their pride, joy, and sanctuary - what better way to get some inspiration than by flipping through designer and artist Josh Young's book? As a bonus, it looks gorgeous on the coffee table.
Stoneware Mug: Cozy mornings call for hot beverages. We love this organic glazed stoneware mug for our morning tea or coffee.
Oud Incense: Bring tranquility and zen into every room with this incense. It has notes of Japanese cedarwood and palo santo.
Vegan Leather Dotted Notebook: We love this timeless, graphic notebook. With dotted pages, this is the perfect gift for the stay-at-home writer or artist.
Tea Gift Set: Feel like you're traveling the world without leaving your house with this Palais des Thés tea sampler with 16 different blends from around the globe.
Hand-Poured Vases: Not quite a candle, but more unique than traditional pottery, these candle-holder beeswax vases(+ some pretty florals) are the perfect tabletop accessory for the homebody to bring a little of the outside in.
