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 — rugs and $1,000 handbags, lace pants and stone-encrusted flatware. Whether you’d actually buy these things is, to a certain extent, beside the point; it’s how enjoyable it can be to dig into a well-curated list and imagine a future when your home might be full of incredible things, and the world might just be a better place.

Today’s gift 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 below!
