When it comes to gifting, you can’t go wrong with a beautiful book. In her debut memoir and cookbook, Italy on a Plate, VIETRI founder Susan Gravely celebrates the scenery, cuisine, and artistic legacy of the country so entwined with the company’s 40-year history. The Art of Collecting, The Art of Tea, The Art of Flowers, and The Art of Beautiful Tables are treasure troves of inspiration by the editors of our sister publication Victoria.

What better way to showcase a special family photo than a decorative picture frame? This blue-and-white floral frame from Brooke & Lou is available as a pair—enjoy one for yourself and gift the other. The Blossom gift set from DUET Candles & Matches, a fragrant blend of lilac, fig, and lotus flower, was designed especially with mothers in mind. The sale of every candle benefits the IDDeal Foundation, a nonprofit that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Accessories with a little sparkle and shine make the perfect presents for stylish loved ones. A few of our top picks from Capucine de Wulf include the Blandine Stud Small Cuff in tortoiseshell, the Earth Goddess Hinged Bangle in teak, the Victoria Small Chain Necklace in gold, and the Elizabetta Necklace in teak. Dainty and classic, the 18″ Lilly with Pearl Necklace by ExVoto Vintage is all the more endearing paired with an engraved pendant; add Petite Pearl Earring Charms to the Gold Huggie Hoop Earrings.

For the tea enthusiast on your list, select a flavorful blend from Fortnum & Mason or The Chai Box. Replacements, Ltd. offers an array of silver tea strainers, such as the sterling George W. Shiebler American Beauty piece pictured above. The painterly Tobacco Leaf teapot and Chelsea Bird teacup & saucer set from Mottahedeh are timeless favorites. A jar of Pyrénnées flower honey or a gift box filled with gourmet macarons by Ladurée Paris will satisfy any sweet tooth.
