2015 holiday gift guide

Our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide — Jill’s Picks

Welcome to Sight Unseen’s annual holiday gift guide! Over the next three days, we'll be sharing our best, most covetable, seriously-buy-me-now finds from around the web. We've narrowed it down to 25 items from each editor — a seriously herculean task when it's basically your job to source cool things all year round. First up is Jill, who's got you covered on everything from sneakers to snuff boxes.

Top 5: Incense Burners

We love design thinking. We love interior design, landscape design, fashion design, and architectural design. We love design for social change, and design for public spaces. But it's hardly a shocker to admit that we've got a particularly soft spot for the design of objects, and as such we're constantly looking for new ways to highlight them — mostly with in-depth backstories and maker profiles, but sometimes, as in our Eye Candy and Saturday Selects posts, with a simple tip of our hats as well. Our newest column, Top 5, is just that: a straightforward, periodic nod to object typologies both obscure and ubiquitous, with five of our favorite recent examples of that typology highlighted in each post. Today, the subject is incense burners, whose proliferation among makers and ceramicists we've been noting for some time now. From geometric compositions to simple brass balls, in no particular order, see our picks after the jump.

75 Gifts We’re Coveting — Jill

Welcome to Sight Unseen’s second annual gift guide, in which each member of the Sight Unseen team will share the 25 items they’re coveting at the moment. Yesterday we got a peek at Monica's picks (from $10 chocolate bars to $10,000 chairs), and tomorrow we'll be hearing from our assistant editor Ryland (dude loves himself a nude-colored seating element!) Today it's Jill's turn, and this year's list doesn't stray too far from the color scheme of 2013. Into blue, aqua, blush and brass? This is the list for you! Happy holidays!
