‘Tis the Season to Give and Style With Soul

If you ask us, the best Christmas homeware gifts don’t scream “holiday clearance.” They whisper: I saw this, and I thought of you.

This season, we’re leaning into the joy of gifting pieces that do more than sit pretty. These are home accessories that speak, sparkle, and sometimes even sizzle with personality. Whether you’re wrapping up a present for your design-obsessed best friend, your minimalist sister, or your own cozy nook (no shame), we’ve got you covered with a curated selection of artful, considered, and joyfully human treasures.

So grab a cup of something spiced, light the Magical Pine Christmas Tree-scented candle, and let’s unwrap the good stuff.

Mercer Throw - Slowdown Studio

Mercer Throw: The Gift of Wrapped-Up Warmth

Designed by London-based artist Sam Smith, the Mercer Throw is basically wearable art. It’s cozy, sure - but it’s also a conversation starter. With bold shapes and colors that pop without overpowering, this woven throw is perfect for anyone who deserves a moment of pause read: everyone.

Giving a throw isn’t just giving a blanket. It’s sending warmth, intention, and a cozy nudge to slow down. Ideal for chilly mornings, movie marathons, or just draping over a sofa for that “effortlessly styled” look.

Bedside Carafe & Glass - Amber - Slowdown Studio

Bedside Carafe & Glass - Amber: Elevated Everyday Hydration

Sipping water? Romantic. At least when it’s done with the Bedside Carafe & Glass in Amber.

This piece is inspired by traditional French drinkware, and it turns a simple glass of water into a design moment. The amber Borosilicate glass catches the light just so, and its sculptural lines make it a perfect blend of form and function.

Whether you're toasting Christmas cheers or setting the stage for New Year’s intentions, this set belongs on every bedside, dinner table, and curated shelf. Cheers to aesthetic hydration.

Pomponette Champagne Flutes: For Clinks With Character

No Fiesta Christmas is complete without a little sparkle - and we’re not just talking about the tinsel. The  Pomponette Champagne Flutes are our answer to the usual holiday glassware: cheeky, charming, and oh-so-chic.

With soft pops of color floating through clear glass, they bring the wow without the weight. Perfect for Christmas brunch mimosas, New Year’s Eve bubbles, or a Tuesday night treat-yourself moment.

Aesthetically delightful? Check. Dishwasher safe? Also check. Now that’s a Christmas homeware gift with staying power.

Set of fabric coasters with fish, cheese, olive, and oyster designs on a white surface.

Hors D'Oeuvres Linen Coasters: Playful Protection for Aperitivo Hour

Let’s talk Hors D'Oeuvres Coasters  - because gifting should always include a little mischief.

This cheeky set of four linen coasters features an oyster, a sardine tin, an olive, and a wedge of cheese. It's a whole mood for anyone who’s ever curated a charcuterie board like it’s performance art. Quirky yet refined, these are ideal stocking stuffers or dinner party plus-ones.

Because honestly? Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like spill-safe, smile-inducing surfaces.

Slowdown Tableware: Set the Table, Start the Show

This year, your Christmas table deserves to be a visual event - and our Table Collection is the showstopper.

From whimsical Zigzag Platters to sculptural Etch Plates and Tapered Candles, every piece brings texture, character, and that “ooh, where’d you get that?” energy. We’ve handpicked items that turn even a humble bowl of olives into a centerpiece moment.

Whether you’re hosting a Traditional Christmas dinner or a Santa Surfer-themed seafood soirée, these designs will elevate your setting from “Pinterest inspo” to IRL style icon.

For the Maximalist: Ornaments That Do the Most

Home doesn’t have to match - just like your ornaments. Go bold with 3D Baubles, hand-stitched beaded decorations, or mix in Aussie nostalgia with a Santa Surfer ornament. Want a little wink to the classics? Add a few glass baubles, shimmering Christmas tinsel, or a fresh Christmas wreath on the door.

It’s a Fiesta Christmas out there. Go forth and decorate with glee.

Soft Gifts, Big Vibes: Holly Jolly Red Pyjama Set

We know this isn’t technically homeware - but what’s a festive morning without comfy loungewear? The Holly Jolly Red Short Pyjama Set is all kinds of cozy. Bold red, breathable fabric, and easy to style up with a robe or down with socks and cocoa.

Throw it in your cart with a carafe and call it the ultimate “self-care starter pack.”

Gift Tags That Match the Magic

What’s a thoughtful gift without a finishing touch? Our Gift Tag Set turns your wrapping into a moment. With whimsical illustrations and playful color palettes, they’re a gift in themselves.

Because you could use boring tags… but why would you?

Why Christmas Homeware Gifts Hit Different

Unlike last-minute Amazon hauls or generic gift cards, homeware gifts are personal. They're rooted in ritual - drinking, lounging, decorating, gathering. And when chosen with care, they say:

I see your style. I know your vibe. I found this just for you.

So this holiday season, skip the stress. Browse Slowdown’s curated selection of thoughtful design pieces, and send some style, comfort, and charm straight to someone’s doorstep.

🎄 Because the best Christmas homeware gifts aren’t just pretty - they’re personal.

So take a breath, skip the malls, and gift like you mean it - with homeware that tells a story.
