The Christmas Gift Edit 2025 for Designers and Creatives

Shopping for the creative in your life is hell. They hate clichés and already own the perfect mug. So we found gifts that’ll make even the most jaded art director raise an eyebrow (in a good way). Consider your cool points restored.

We can all agree that shopping for the designer, who spends more time choosing fonts than clothes, isn't the easiest. They already have their rituals... the perfect notebook, the go-to candle and small luxuries that shape their process. And of course, they already have taste. They know what they like, and what they like tends to be impossible to find.

But here’s the trick: gifts that feel designed rather than simply bought.

If your gift list includes a designer, stylist, or someone who casually uses words like “composition” in conversation, we've put together the perfect gifts that don't "do too much" but deliver just enough.

For creatives, form always matters, so start there. Guerlain’s diffuser doubles as decor while Heaven Mayhem's Jewellery Box earns its place on any coffee table (bonus points if you fill it first). Lean to Byredo for understated luxury, and Le Creuset for everyday luxury.

Fashion people? They’re easy. They’ll never say no to a handbag that fits it all or matching knitwear that reads “off-duty but curated. (Yes, we all WFH but staying comfy can still look chic, so get them the good stuff.)

Every creative loves a “useful” object that also happens to look perfect on camera. Papier’s stylish notebooks belong on every flatlay and for the ones who live half their lives in coffee shops and airport lounges, Heaven Mayhem’s leopard-print laptop case is the ultimate cool-girl accessory.

And for stocking fillers, swap the cliché candle for the practical kind of pretty: REFY’s lash sculpt, Slip’s silk scrunchies, or La Bonne Brosse’s creamy hairbrush, the kind of small luxuries they’d probably never buy for themselves.
