If you're feeling flush this holiday season and want to spend a big(ish) amount of money on someone (or yourself, we judge not), then here are some decent ways to get rid of that cash—in exchange for the most wonderful gift of all, which is making someone you care about happy.
It’s a big risk to buy a fixture for someone else, but you know what, give it a shot.

Each leg cup is handmade by Zofi Lipton in her Brooklyn studio so there might be some slight differences in color and shape between the one you purchased and the one pictured.
Hand-assembled in Berlin, and sold by the design store at Philip Johnson’s Glass House, this adjustable catchall can be shaped into a square or diamond.
Inspired by bending the space-time continuum, this shiny, warped grid, responds to a hidden force. The pieces are ingeniously locked into place providing some flexibility, so you can determine the exact angle of the grid.
Help a loved one start (or add to) their quality robe collection.
An airy waffle weave wraps you in the natural comfort and performance of premium organic cotton. Pre-tumbled to be soft from day one, this elevated spa robe feels light and breathable, growing more supple with every wash.
These towels allow you to ease into your pose of choice without worrying about towel slippage.
Finally, a yoga towel designed to keep your feet — and your practice — grounded. Our Yoga Towel has always been a customer favorite, but now we’ve made it wider and longer so it’s sure to cover your mat with ease.
Fancy ice cube trays for your favorite host.
4 stunning ice shapes for fancy sips — because your cocktails (and mocktails) deserve to be elevated. This set includes the Prism Single Ice Mold, Ripple Single Ice Mold, Petal Ice Tray and Crystal Ice Tray.
Curved carbon steel blades for sufficient snipping—and tough enough to handle the sturdiest of stems.
Need scissors that can handle both delicate flowers and woodier stems? Niwaki’s Sentei Garden Scissors are for you. Expertly crafted from high-quality carbon steel in Japan, they provide sharp, precise cuts (which is healthier for your plants), and will last for decades with proper maintenance.
Proof that pretty dust pans exist.
If you're switching to sustainable, plastic-free tools for cleaning, choose a beautiful, high-quality wooden dustpan that will last for many years to come. Handcrafted from natural wood, Takada's large dustpan impresses through its simplicity and enduring quality.

Picknicking, but make it fancy.

A cutesy, shiny catchall available in five glossy hues. (We like it in chrome. Maybe you do, too?)
The Yves Cast Metal Catch-All is your cool yet polished dish for jewelry, keys, and so much more. Part of a special collaboration with LA-based brand Clare V., its bold colors are inspired by founder Clare Vivier’s eclectic closet. 8" Dia., 1.82"H. Aluminum.
This Italian-made piece makes us want a sip of the real thing.

Stripy, ceramic, and cooling, this looks like a find from a far-flung locale.
