Modern Lantern: Our Picks for Christmas Gifts This Year

by Carrie Fitzwater December 10, 2015

Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner? By now, most of us are stumped by what to get loved ones and friends. Keep in mind, in the new year, a lot of those you’re buying for are going to be in the mind set of “in with the old, out with the new”. Instead of getting everyone something that will end up in the new year cleaning “re-gift” pile, why not help them get started with a personal gift that is useful and stylish? Giving your design-enthusiastic friends accessories that are out of the ordinary and beautiful will make sure your gift is both remembered and appreciated all the way into the New Year. Here are just few suggestions of ours for unique and stylish gifts for this Christmas season for everyone in your life: pets, him, her, and the home.
