Holiday Gift Guide 2020: The Best Tabletop Gifts Under $250

When it comes to tabletop pieces, the world truly is your oyster — there are limitless art pieces and little luxuries to give. We selected ten of our favorites, including games, glassware, puzzles, and plenty of objets d’art for even the most discerning person on your list. 

Glass knots are one of the most popular tabletop objects available on Chairish right now, and these pieces by SkLO are some of our favorites. The brand’s wrap objects are a wound length of glass tube, hand-blown by artisans, and come in a variety of colorways; purple is shown. Each is made by hand, so no two are alike. Display them on their own or in vibrant groupings. $224

Elevate a simple game of tic-tac-toe into something artistic (and always be sure to grab one of the corner squares if you want to win). This sophisticated clear set by Regina Andrew is made of acrylic and measures 7ʺW × 7ʺD × 2ʺH. $148

We’re all hoping for good luck in 2021, and this tabletop piece of art can only help. Fingers Crossed, by Noir Trading Inc, is a bold brass sculpture that’s handcrafted with a textural finish. It’s available in six different types of expression and two different metallics. Measures 3ʺW × 4ʺD × 9.5ʺH. $127

The Siren Beverageware glasses by Borrowed BLU are available in a wide variety of attractive colors, from light golds to jewel-toned purples; here they’re shown in Atlantic Blue & Gold. These are white wine glasses and can hold 16 oz; red wine glasses and champagne flutes are also available. $91 for a set of 4.

No, it’s not about taste testing what all of these glasses are filled with. “Champagne Problems” is a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle from Piecework, created on thick stock, high-quality recycled art paper. The completed puzzle is 19.25” x 26.6”. Just try finishing it after a few glasses. $42

Pucker up. This set of four “Kiss Me I” coasters from Nicolette Mayer features vibrant artwork by Angela Blehm (and can even help guests keep their drinks straight). These pebbled vinyl coasters have patterns on the front and are off-white on the back, and they can be used indoors or out. $50

Indego Africa aims to empower female artists living across the continent. This colorful plateau basket from Rwanda is one of their most popular, shown here in an abstract pattern with blacks, pinks, and baby blues. A wide variety of other colors and designs are also available. Handmade. $75

For a truly one-of-a-kind tabletop piece, consider this unique match striker in satin brass with green agates surrounding it from International Shades and Lighting. With agate and other gem designs showing up everywhere in the design world, this pretty and practical accessory is definitely on trend. It measures 4.5” x 4.5”. $191

Tisch New York is a line of tabletop accessories designed by Amanda Tisch Weitzman, a former fashion editor for Town & Country and Harper’s Bazaar. Her colorfully patterned placemats were created to complement a variety of dining designs. Shown is the Ginko placemat in green on white; 15” diameter with a cork back. $56

Artel is known for their colorful, gorgeously crafted handmade glassware. The Perla Trinket Bowl II is shown here in Peacock; purple and gray are also available. Perla is one of the brand’s signature motifs and would be equally at home in traditional or modern designs. $248
