There’s nothing worse than gift shopping for someone you care about and drawing a blank. Maybe you aren’t sure of their style, or maybe the gifting occasion has you stumped. Either way, finding a timeless gift - one that won’t break after a few uses or is already on its way out of style - is a challenge for even the most seasoned gifters.
GiftMeChic has created a list of classic gifts that won’t go out of season and will last for years to come. These treasures are not only appropriate for any instance but will stand out as unique, thoughtful, and, of course, chic.
5 Timeless Gifts for Any Occasion
1. Studio Drift Dandelight
This work of art isn’t just enchanting. It’s functional. Studio Drift, an Amsterdam-based art duo, designs sculptures that nod to humanity's complicated connection with Earth and technology. This dandelion light is created with an ever-labor-intensive process: a dandelion is hand-picked, deconstructed piece by piece, and reassembled with an LED light and battery. It’s a subtle commentary on throw-away culture and a distinctive decoration in one.
2. Message in the Bulb: Dream Big
A literal message in a bulb, this sweet token contains a minuscule neon light inside a traditional light bulb that sits on a wireless base. Each message is hand-made using a patented process that’s also eco-friendly and highly durable. Coming all the way from France, this solitary lamp will dazzle any vanity, desk, or bedside table.
3. Zia Pia Rainbow Olive Oil Ceramic
One can’t go wrong with the timeless (and useful) gift of seasoned extra virgin olive oil. But for the EVOO connoisseur, Zia Pia checks all the boxes of authenticity and taste. Straight from Puglia, Italy, where the Muraglia family has maintained traditional cultivation methods for five generations, these olives were harvested by hand and crushed using stones in the historical method. Not to mention, the vessel is gorgeous, fun, and a classic gift for that friend who spends a lot of time in the kitchen.
4. Sloane Stationery Evil Genius Notebook
For those whose brilliance teeters on the edge of mischief, the Sloane Stationery Evil Genius Notebook is the perfect companion. Crafted for the aspiring mastermind, this sleek, hand-bound notebook in lizard-embossed card stands as a chic, tongue-in-cheek nod to the genius that prefers their brilliance served with a side of playfulness. A timeless gift, indeed, for the thinker who loves to walk the line between clever and cunning.
5. Nomad Noé Visionary Candle
Enveloped in the luxurious blend of saffron and rose, each flicker of its flame whispers tales from the ancient city of Esfahan, inviting the beholder to dream big and bold. Hand-poured in France with the finest vegan wax, this candle burns not just with light, but with the promise of journeys yet to come. A timeless gift for the nomadic soul in your life.
