This dynamic duo is well known for their avant-garde style, custom designed installations and bold use of color! When we asked Widell & Boschetti what their holiday gift picks were we were surprised to see a softer side of them with a sentimental gift idea of togetherness.

"Love how the mirror reflects the beauty of the glasses whilst adding that extra touch of jewel to the brass. These are great to serve drinks on or to style candles on to reflect their glowing light."
"Pink is the new black! These Goblets can be used in any occasion, but especially snazzy with the crystal effect for the holidays. Forgo water & make your old fashioned a bit more elevated! "
"Whilst adding a little pop to the punch, these coasters are a must- have and work with any aesthetic. We love mixing colorful pops with the vintage vibe adding that necessary flair to your table."
NINA TAKESH's
Designer GIFT Picks
Design Pro Nina Takesh is no stranger to elegance and style. Her name is synonomous with jaw-dropping inspiration, her must-see style tip channel on Youtube, and the uber-luxurious homes she designs throughout LA. We asked Nina about her thoughts on finding the perfect gift and she gave us some beautiful items to consider!
"My suggestion to all my clients for holiday decor is to use items that they have collected over the years and to cherry pick a certain color or style. At that point they can trickle in a few new items to give the entire look a fresh new vibe." - Nina Takesh

"I love keeping traditions of family gatherings over the holidays - setting a beautiful table creates such core memories of this time of year. I would eat anything on these gorgeous plates!"
"This piece would make me happy to look at every day ... it's glamorous, sculptural & decadent - if there was a sculpture for the "morning after" a night out at Studio 54 Christmas Eve ... this would be it! "
"This is the perfect vase for an entry hall or nightstand to fill with fresh greenery and holiday florals and perfect for year round use too! Such a fun texture."
JILL WHITE's
Designer GIFT Picks
Design Pro Jill White is known for her ecletic style, love of black and white and the way she infuses bold pattern into her fantastical designs. With a flair for bold choices, we asked Jill what her gift picks would be.
"Put something festive in every space. Not in a tacky, over-did it way, it can be something as simple as switching a small tabletop accessory. Sprinkling holiday decor throughout your home is an easy way to get you in the holiday spirit! " - Jill White

"Such a fun coaster set. Who in your life doesn't need coasters?! The iridescent finish is so modern and fun that can work in a lot of settings."
