Lace Pants and Stone-Encrusted Pillboxes: Jill’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 a chocolate-brown water bottle that reminds you to drink your fluids?), 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 Jill, who tends to make personalized hats on Etsy for her loved ones but here is coveting a hefty glass catchall by an up-and-coming studio, the mixed-metal ring JB Blunk made for his wife, an evening bag carved from a single piece of walnut, a menorah that reminds us of a lazy susan, and more. See — and shop — her full list below!
