The holiday season is upon us, and finding gifts for people who like design can be hard. Sometimes, you want to give a gift that is not only stylish but also nods to your friend’s quirks. If you want to make someone laugh or maybe the whole family too, this is your gift guide! This is the Passive Aggressive Gift Guide: stylish gifts with a playful hint, featuring chic items from Design Within Reach, who I partnered with on this blog post. For the Person Who Always Turns on the Big Light: Nelson Table Lamp Tired of your friend or family member flooding the room with harsh overhead lights? The Nelson Table Lamp is a sleek and stylish solution that encourages softer, more ambient lighting. It’s the perfect way to gently suggest that perhaps not every light needs to be an overhead light. For the Person Who Buys a Lot of Books but Doesn’t Necessarily Read Them: Story Bookcase We all know that one person who loves to buy books, but they never seem to make it past the first chapter. The Story Bookcase is a tasteful way to give them a beautiful place to display their literary collection—even if it’s more for show than for reading! For the Person Who Is Always Texting “I’ll Be There in Five” :Nelson Ball Clock Punctuality isn’t everyone’s strong suit, and for those who are perpetually late, the Nelson Ball Clock is a stylish reminder to keep an eye on the time. Hopefully, this chic accessory will inspire them to be a little more timely. Let’s get real, they are never going to change but it’s a beautiful piece. For the Person Who Says They’re Cold Even When It’s 70°F Out: Takt Baby Alpaca Throw Know someone who’s always cold, no matter the temperature? Maybe you fight over the thermostat constantly? If so, the Takt Baby Alpaca Throw is the perfect gift to keep them cozy. This luxurious throw will ensure they’re warm and snug. For the Person Who Hogs the Bathroom Every Morning : Colour Frame Mirror Bathroom hoggers, beware! The Colour Frame Mirror is a beautiful addition to any vanity, but it also serves as a gentle nudge to be more mindful of others. It’s a lovely gift that says, “I appreciate your morning routine, but let’s share the space.” Check out the full DWR gift guide here.
