At Discern Living, we are compulsive gifters. There’s nothing quite like the thrill we get from choosing the perfect Christmas gifts and matching it with just the right person. On that note, we’ve compiled our end-of-year Christmas gifts ideas that we think will hit all the right notes, with all the special people on your list! Take a look…



For the Home

Christmas – and the festive season in general – is a time when a lot of us inevitably end up hosting guests at home. Choose the most house-proud recipients on your gift list and pamper them with items that they’re sure to love – for this season, and beyond.

This elegant candle holder will add the requisite, celebratory sparkle to your dining table, and work as an ideal centrepiece all year-round, depending on how you decide to dress it up or down.

Continue the theme of adding glimmer and shine to your ‘giftee’s’ homes with this multi-use platter. Place nuts or sweets in it, use it on the foyer console as a repository for house keys and other knick-knacks, or fill it with potpourri – the choices are endless!

The New Year is a time when many people move homes or sign new leases. Don’t forget the men on your gift list! If a close male friend or relative is moving into a new home, help him decorate by gifting statement pieces for his house.

These gorgeous cushion covers add glamour without being feminine or fussy in any way. They will immediately offer a dose of sophistication (that also spells good taste!) to your male friend’s new home, with their muted shades and hints of metallic embroidery. If the man you’re gifting to has an ironic sense of humour, choose curios for his home that will both speak to his personality, as well as being fun, statement pieces.
