Holiday Gift Guide 2025
THOUGHTFUL GIFTS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE GOOD DESIGN:
THE BRITT WHITE STUDIO WAY
Every year, the same question pops up. What do you get for the person who loves great design more than gifts themselves? So I’ve pulled together a playful mix of books, little luxuries and feel-good favourites that always make people smile. There are ideas for every budget and plenty of pieces that bring a spark of joy to any home. With Black Friday landing later this week, it’s a great time to get ahead and find something thoughtful for the design lover in your life.
Settle in, pour a festive glass of bubbles and explore my picks for the season.
