It’s that time of year once again! It’s time for us to spruce up the bottom of our Christmas trees with gifts aplenty for our family and friends, and to help we’ve put together a list of our best-sellers and top picks for this year.
For your parents
Sick of seeing the same dated decor at your parents’ every time you go ‘round to visit? This is the perfect time of year to add a bit of pizzazz to their living or lounge room - with the added bonus of having somewhere decadent to put your coffee cup when you’re over for those free refills.
Why not gift one of our timeless Franki coffee or side tables, or pair them up for the perfect nested look - available in a range of colours and sizes to suit whatever chic your parents are going for.
If round isn’t quite their style, why not give them something functional with our Paris Coffee Table, that features a handy storage drawer and a lifting top, that you can either snack from or work from - the choice is yours. The best part is - it will be on display no matter their taste or style, because you’re their child!
For your Partner
Let’s be real - this is where you can really take some liberties. “Oh I saw this dining set, I thought you’d love it!” = “I’ve been looking at this for ages and needed an excuse to buy it.” We all know that buying something for your significant other is akin to buying it for yourself, but at least for Christmas you can do it under the pretense of it being for someone else.
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to refresh your dining setting, why not take a look at our Kotor sets - especially good for smaller dining spaces.
Or, staying on the theme of what’s good for one is good for all, why not liven things up in the bedroom a bit with a new bed? Our Cruz Queen is the perfect match for a couple looking to freshen up the master bedroom, but is also a great fit for a sharehouse as it’s small enough to fit in a tight space.
For the Kids
This is where the fun begins, and where you can tick both boxes of ‘something they want’ and ‘something they need’ when shopping for the kids for Chrissy.
Christmas time is the perfect excuse to get your kids something they’ve needed all year, but you haven’t been able to justify the hefty price tag of such a big ticket item. Thankfully, our King Single beds with trundle or storage are the perfect size for a growing kid, and wonderfully poised as a gift we know they’ll love whilst also being functional at the same time!
Take our Myer King Single with Trundle for example; the white and natural colour palette makes it an absolute dream to style no matter what colour scheme your child prefers, and the added bonus of a trundle underneath means you’re essentially getting 2 beds for the price of 1, and your kids’ friends can sleep over whenever they want, no hassle involved.
Or, if you instead wanted to opt for one of our storage options, the Coco is a perfect fit! It includes 2 underbed storage drawers that you can assemble and set to either side of the bed, that are great for housing anything from bed linen to the endless collection of toys that our kids tend to accumulate - especially over Christmas!
You can even pair either of them with one of our adorable kids’ rugs to really round out the space and give the kids somewhere to play on the floor as well.
For the expectant parents
As if Christmas wasn’t expensive enough already, it seems like this is the time of year where every second friend or family member is announcing their pregnancy. A good way of navigating this is a ‘two birds, one stone’ approach with gifting the expectant parent some lovely baby furniture.
While you can go the whole hog and buy them an entire cot for their bubba, not only do a lot of newborn parents these days have a very specific aesthetic that they want to meet, it is quite a big upfront cost for someone else’s child - we don’t expect you to drop hundreds of dollars! This is where you can either opt to give them something simpler like a change table or a mattress, or even just offer a monetary contribution towards whatever they need, as that will give them the chance to buy something that will perfectly suit their needs.
For the holidaymaker
Whether it’s to furnish your own holiday home, or you know someone that’s recently purchased an investment or an Airbnb, this is the best time of year to refresh your holiday space and help it shine for a new year of occupants.
Take our Stax Beds for example; they are perfect for a holiday home, or even just a smaller home that doesn’t necessarily have space for a tonne of occupants year-round, but more sleeping space is needed when the holiday season comes round.
These beds stack neatly on top of one another (even with a mattress on top!), and they are so easy to slot away in a corner when being used by one person, and then ‘expanded’ when you’ve got guests around - hence why they’re great for accommodation!
For the hard worker
Whether it's your child that needs somewhere to do their homework after school, or your partner that's just got a new job and is now working from home, it seems like nowadays a desk upgrade is on the cards for everyone.
For the kids, why not consider one of our single drawer Byron desks - the perfect fit for a smaller space and a neutral colour palette that will suit any theme.
Or, for a more mature feel, you can take a look at our Cannes office desk, finished in a chic black and featuring two drawers for all your storage needs.
For yourself
While we’re here and you’re splashing your cash on your nearest and dearest, it would be almost rude to not include yourself in the equation - and save on shipping at the same time!
We know it’s a tight time of year for everyone, but if you’ve been looking for an excuse to grab some new side tables or an occasional chair then we say why not indulge yourself at the same time. Something as small as the above can make the biggest difference to your mentality; all it takes is a little adjustment to your space to make it feel more like home.
Our Christmas Gift Guide is designed to give you the best options we have on ready to ship furniture for delivery before December 25. Feel free to check out our website to see all the other in stock items in time for this festive season.
