Inside/Out: The Giving Season 2019

Four golden rings? Maybe not quite the holiday classic, but we still say these brass napkin holders in different geometric shapes are something to sing about. $28 for the set, West Elm. Holiday napkin, $1.99, World Market, multiple locations, worldmarket.com

While Milk + Honey is best-known for its personal care items, the home products also make wonderful gifts. Spread a little cheer with the gift set of balsam fir-clove-cinnamon hand soap and home fragrance spray. $38, Milk + Honey.

Breakfast is a little more luxe with the Bistro Tile bread plate and petite butter dish, which holds half a stick. Add the perfect croissant (Central Market makes minis) for a très chic morning. Plate, $10; butter dish, $22; both from Anthropologie.

These striped tumblers with gold rims make a striking addition to any table or bar cart. We can even picture them used as vases for a pavé of roses. $17 each, LTO.

This oversize painted wooden bowl by an Aspen artist begs for everything and nothing. It’s beautiful on its own, but also would make a fine place to stash the daily mail. $375, House Essential.

Give the gift of contemporary art with these Ginger Walker prints in Lucite frames. Available at Park + Eighth in two sizes, 10 by 12 inches, $125; and 5 by 7 inches, $50.

Find your own design muse in Rooms With a History: Interiors and Their Inspirations by British architect/interior designer/photographer Ashley Hicks. The author looks at the places and things that inspire and amuse, along with designs and objects of the past that served as source material — be it color, pattern or texture. $60, rizzoli.com or your favorite bookseller.

Beatriz Ball always will be loved for its aluminum collections, but we’re partial to the new Vida Nube melamine pieces, which have a matte finish that resembles bisque porcelain. The footed designs are versatile enough to use as ice buckets, salad bowls or oversize vases for flowers. Price range from $39 to $65, LTO.

Overland’s alpaca wool-blend throw blankets are lightweight yet efficient at keeping the chill away. We love the bold colors and generous size,
80 inches long and 65 inches wide. $159 each, Overland.

A pair of tumblers and a carafe pay homage to style icon Iris Apfel. The lead-free crystal pieces feature slashes of color and a modern aesthetic. Beak collection, $248, Neiman Marcus.
