Eco-Chic Modern Gifts
Environmentally friendly gifts can be given on many occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and housewarmings. Home linens such as bamboo bed sheets and organic cotton duvet covers are trendy modern gifts. Luxury gifts such as organic wool throws and silk pillow shams are trendy choices. These home accessories are responsibly made by local artisans using organic raw materials.
Many decor stores offer bedding and bath linens that are sustainably made so it's easy to select eco-chic gifts. Choose bedding and duvet covers in basic hues like grey and white so they complement a wide range of color schemes.
Furniture made from recycled and reclaimed materials make great modern gifts. These gifts are eco-friendly and they are available in many contemporary designs. Look for furniture made from wood certified by the FSC. This wood is responsibly harvested from forests that are replenished to protect the environment.
Luxury Gifts
For housewarming gifts, choose glassware sets personalized with monograms. Stemless glasses or glasses with metallic rims are trendy options. Put together a complete set with wine glasses, water goblets and carafes. Include a bottle of your favorite vintage or single malt along with the glassware set.
Chic accessories such as mirrored frames, metal candle holders and mercury glass vases are perfect gifts for the holidays. The metallic accents are ideal for adding holiday sparkle to home decor. Gift a bunch of faux branches with complementing gilded dried botanicals so your friends can make beautiful holiday displays with them.
DIY Artwork
Give a loved one something you have created especially for them. A simple idea for DIY artwork is to repurpose paint chips. If you have paint chips and swatches from decor projects, frame them to make modern artwork. Use paint chips in the same color family to create a striking look. Cool colors like blue, grey and teal are contemporary choices. Make uniform cutouts of the paint chips and paste them grid-style on thick cardstock. Frame the cardstock using simple black frames to make stylish DIY artwork.
