House Beautiful Assistant Market Editor Catherine DiPersico knows that gift-giving can be tricky, but she's such a skilled pro at it that she's turned it into her job. Lucky for those feeling overwhelmed, she was willing to share some of her top picks from Williams Sonoma Home this season that can help make presenting presents a breeze. Watch the video above and read on for Catherine's top picks.
When choosing a present for homebodies, Catherine considers cashmere the most luxurious gift. The variety of block colors in the European line makes this throw one of her go-to options.
A gorgeous decorative pillow, like this hand-embroidered floral version, may feel like an indulgent purchase, but as a gift it'll be a welcome addition to any home. Or if you want a personalized option, pick a textured frame in a rich color, such as the Juneau in Ocher or Halle in Dark Green, then add a sentimental photo of you and the recipient.
Elevate their table service with an elegant carafe. This smoky green Lausanne option is great for those who love natural gems, while the Faro in tortoiseshell is suited for those with an eye for classic designs. Another form-meets-function piece is this horn-and-bone tray, which will encourage your friend to enjoy more dinner parties and breakfasts in bed.
Catherine wraps up her picks with an incredibly cozy selection: an earth-tone faux-fur throw that gets her in the proper holiday spirit.
