For their kitchen …
We know getting a kettle for Christmas might seem a little boring, but not when it’s a sleek newbie designed by Marc Newson for Sunbeam. If you think they’d prefer something equally functional but with a little bit of quirk, help them separate yolks like a boss with this super cute Yolk Fish from GOMA Store. The festive season usually means dinner parties, so make sure they are ready to entertain with a handcrafted dinner set from Harvest Clay, or a bamboo wine presentation box for all the beverages that will no doubt be poured. If they’re really tricky, wow them with a fancy marble-and-brass-themed kitchen hamper from Not Another Bill – sign them up for a subscription if you’re feeling generous!

For their living area …
We spend the most of our time at home in our living areas, so give them something to make sure they think of you fondly every day! Put a smile on their dial with a fun ice-cream mirror from Andrea and Joen, or go completely minimalist with this chic marble clock from Country Road or this rope vessel from Willo. Do their indoor plants need a little life? Spruce them up with a plant stand from Ivy Muse, available from The Borrowed Nursery in Miami. Go all out with a new Danish-inspired credenza from local company Kira & Kira or a place to park their keister with a Stanley stool from Jardan. And if their taste is too darn hard to buy for, get them a candle subscription from The Candle Library, so they can get a fresh new scent for their home each month or find something wonderful at Beautiful Spaces at The 4217. The store is filled with a fantastically miscellaneous assortment of things from fancy garden hoses and bespoke bowls to curious light bulb planters, so you’re sure to find something that takes your fancy.

For their bedroom …
We’re talking strictly design products here people, other bedroom-related gifts we will leave to your imagination. Sheets don’t have to be boring – swathe them in luxury with a set of linen sheets from Mr. Draper or In The Sac. Give their bed a splash of colour with a quirky cushion from Everingham + Watson, or go all the way with a vibrant quilt cover set from Sheets on the Line. Want something a little more Nick Offerman rustic and manly? Go for Pendleton. Enough said.

For their workspace … 
If you’ve got yourself a little bookworm for secret Santa, help them keep their stash in order with these agate bookends from west elm, or a sleek Book Rest from the lads at Work Shop Objects. Let them gather their ideas with a super-cute notebook from Liberty Trading Co., all the better to see under a minimalist table lamp from Kmart. Hint how much you think they rule with a leather ruler from Dowel Jones – you could even pair it with a little desk friend to complete the set. Does their memory often need a little jogging? Keep them in check with a handmade and designed Note-to-Shelf from Standing By – the first release even comes with a limited-edition Moon, 2016 calendar.
