Some of the best buys are for sprucing up your space, and gifting is the perfect opportunity to style up the season with something for the home.
Especially if you’re not sure what to buy a loved one; but you’re confident a interiors-based gift will give great aesthetic pleasure if it channels comfort or style – from a centrepiece to a cute deco – and fit perfectly with existing pieces.
Moreover, you can have lots of fun shopping for them – while indulging in some self-gifting to celebrate the festive season.
