We publish a guide to Christmas gifts every year in Livingetc, and it’s always an edition of the best to buy. But this time, instead of asking the team to compile it, I reached out to a few of my favorite interior designers, people who I have impeccable confidence in in taste and whose style has been at the rendezvous all year round.
Athena Calderone, Jonathan Adler, Eva Sonaike, Nicola Harding, Matthew Williamson (and myself) have all chosen what gifts we will give this year, as well as a few that we ourselves would love. So make yourself comfortable and put your feet up, because just like we made all of our Christmas decorating ideas, we make your Christmas really easy.
