As much we love the festive season and always enjoy a beautifully decorated home, we think there is something quite liberating about starting afresh as we Ring in the New Year. It is the perfect occasion to reflect on the year gone by, count our many blessing and even revisit the interiors of our home with fresh eyes, give away the old, move things around and factor in a gift or two for ourselves and our families! Discern brings you a special list of gifts that will not only help you add a personal touch but will also brighten up your homes in 2016. “And now we welcome the New Year. Full of things that have never been” - Rainer Maria Rilke
