With the holiday season underway, you have probably begun your seasonal shopping for the important people in your life. On every list, however, there are a few individuals who are trickier to buy for, and you may be faced with a last minute search for the perfect present. From contemporary home accessories to unique art, here are five ideas to consider that will surprise a loved one this year.

Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide

1. Candles

Candles make great gifts for anyone on your list. Decorative candles come in a variety of colors and sizes, from tiny tea lights and votives to large pillars. Candles create ambiance, and many people use them for mood lighting, home spas, or romantic dinners. Add an elegant candle holder to complete the gift.

2. Mirrors

Mirrors enhance decor and can make a smaller room appear much larger. They also provide a finishing touch over a table or sofa and are an effective accessory to pair with wall art. When the recipient has a preference for contemporary home accessories, a mirror makes the perfect addition to their collection, especially if you find a shape or framed version that matches their existing interior design.

3. Table Art

Take a look at your friend or family member’s bedroom or living room furniture and seek out a piece of art that complements the colors, shapes, and style. You may also choose to purchase two smaller pieces that can be placed in different areas to tie the room together.

4. Home Accessories

Anything from vases and clocks to colorful throw pillows will make a welcome present this season. Contemporary home accessories that fit perfectly with existing decor are always appreciated, especially if the person has just moved in or recently renovated. When choosing pillows, opt for a bold pattern that brings together other elements of their home, or stick with a solid color in a luxurious fabric such as velvet.

5. Decorative Lamps

Good lighting makes the atmosphere, and a decorative table lamp will increase illumination while adding a pop of art and color to any space. Look for interesting bases and unique shades, or choose between classic lines and abstract designs.
