Chocolate Sardines and Albers Hats: Monica’s 2024 Sight Unseen Gift Guide

This month marks Sight Unseen's 15th birthday (!!!) and there was only one gift we really wanted, which — unfortunately — we woke up on November 6 to find we definitively had not received. But before we gear up for a tough few years, we'll be reveling in this season's temporary reprieve, and the moments of togetherness and/or much-needed rest it will bring. In that sense, it's the perfect time to share with you our annual Sight Unseen gift guides, which while always at least a little bit practical (who wouldn't love an $18 chocolate sardine?), offer a hefty dose of fantasy and fun. Today’s guide comes from Monica, who's coveting Josef and Anni Albers hats, Greek ceramics with 1960s motifs, a sweater adorned with Franco Albini's iconic Milan metro handlebar, a wooden box meant to discourage you from doom-scrolling, and more. See — and shop — her full list after the jump!

American Design Hot List

Announcing the 2025 American Design Hot List

Welcome to the 13th annual American Design Hot List, Sight Unseen’s unapologetically subjective award for the names to know now in American design. Founded in 2013, the ADHL serves as a guide to the US (born or based) talents influencing the design landscape in any given year, whether through standout launches, must-see exhibitions, or just our innate sense that they’re ones to watch. Considering we’ve recently changed almost everything else about the way we present Sight Unseen to the world, we decided to do things a little differently this year.
