Welcome to The List’s Gift Guides, where we round up some of the best holiday offerings around—all designed and crafted by our clever List members, of course.
It’s been said that a perfect present is one that’s so luxurious, the recipient would never dream of buying it for themselves. Using that framework, we crafted a selection of luxe accessories for folks who can’t get design off the brain. The result is a collection of highly giftable, design-conscious items running the gamut from functional to decorative.
Each brand below is a member of The List, the destination for all things Surface-approved. Want to join The List? Contact our team to find out how to apply.
