India's Gift Guide Favourites

Hi Everyone,

I’m India - an interior designer, a true lover of mid-century charm and beautifully considered interiors. I’m always drawn to those pieces that feel like they have a story… timeless design, crafted with care, and full of character. Especially at Christmas, I think the best gifts are the ones that become part of a home for years to come, the kind you unwrap once but enjoy forever.

I’ve put together a small selection of pieces I love, each one chosen with someone special in mind. Things that make everyday moments feel a little nicer. This is one of my favourite places to find gifts, and I’ve no doubt you’ll come across something that feels thoughtful, personal, and with that effortless charm a really great piece can bring to a home.

Gracie is the ultimate interiors girl, everything she touches becomes beautifully considered, effortlessly styled, and somehow even more inviting. She’s the queen of hosting, always creating the dreamiest candlelit tables that feel both intimate and utterly chic. So these teardrop candle holders feel like her - elegant, refined, and designed to add that soft flicker of magic to her next dinner party. a subtle statement that elevates the whole room, just like she always does.

For My Mum,

A piece I’d happily keep for myself, this vase feels like one of those things that just belongs in her home. Something timeless she’ll move from room to room, filled with fresh flowers in every season. It’s a simple addition that brings a space to life, brightens a corner, and quietly becomes part of the home.

For My Grandad,

A board he can keep out and enjoy whether it’s a quiet game on his own or a match with us when we visit. He’s always loved a good game, especially chess, and this feels like one of those thoughtful pieces he’d never buy for himself, but will enjoy for years, one of those things that only gets better with time.
