Great Gifts VI

Pin It

The last in our series of gift blogs by our staff...

  1. I love these small reproductions of original Doman Geiman collages printed onto poplar woodblocks. They're 8 inches square, and run just $40 for two on Etsy.
  2. This chalkboard snowshoe, $45, from Susan Fredman at Home is perfect for a winter cabin.
  3. Fredman's gold-studded stacking bowls will please the urban sophisticates on your list ($175 for the set).
  4. It’s getting a little late in the game to order monogrammed items, I realize, but I love these linen guest towels from a company called Two Girls in Avignon. They’re hand-embroidered ($64) and orders usually take two weeks; Crosell & Co. does have some initials in stock (maybe you’ll get lucky).
  5. The texture on these Gaux glass vessels has been hand cut into each one. Created in Germany, they come in many sizes and colors; call Morlen Sinoway Atelier for details. 312-432-0100
  6. Finally, Waylande Gregory ceramic trays are perfect for the person who has everything. Hand-painted and many finished with gold, they run $125-$295 at Space519.
