2020 Holiday Gift Guide: Burberry, Vera Wang, Panerai, and More

Burberry is celebrating with its “Festive Graffiti” collection, in which Riccardo Tisci reimagined the house’s heritage for the holiday season. Featuring a contemporary graffiti logo and love motif, pieces include updates to classic outerwear styles and an array of accessories, like a fresh version of the Lola runway bag and a bucket hat in bespoke gabardine. Our favorite pick is the logo car coat.

Vera Wang’s eyewear collection features chic, vintage-inspired shapes made from quality materials. The range of styles to choose from—like a classic cat-eye, aviators, and more— make it easy to find a pair of shades for everyone on your gift list.

Treat the horology expert in your life to a collectible they’ll never forget with Panerai’s new Radiomir Venti model. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the house’s Paneristi, the 45mm timepiece looks to the original 1930s Radiomir for design cues, featuring a steel case with a warm brown dial, gold details, and a beige calfskin strap.

We can only hope to find one of Alina Abegg’s Licorice rings wrapped with our name on it this holiday. Sweeter than the treat itself, the rose gold rings are made to order with a choice of swirly pink opal or a spiral of milk quartz and come topped with tiny sparkling diamonds. 

A piece from Nicole Nadeau’s Good Good Décor linewill complete your holiday table spread or make the ultimate surprise for a friendly gift exchange. All made by hand in small batches, the artist’s current offerings include items like candle holders, napkin rings, and sets of tiny pinch pots.

Entitled the “Cinta” collection, John Hardy’s latest high jewelry debuts might help you check off a sentimental gift for a very important person. Named for the Balinese word for “love,” “Cinta” features one-of-a-kind pieces made from precious gems like turquoise, Columbian emeralds, freshwater pearls, and morganite. Our pick is the dangling chandelier earring set that sparkles with pearls and diamonds.

Give the gift of art with Phaidon’s latest publication OPEN STUDIO: Do-It-Yourself Projects by Contemporary Artists. Created by Sharon Coplan Hurowitz and Amanda Benchley, each chapter follows a different artist—including names like Marina Abramovic, Rachel Feinstein, Mickalene Thomas, KAWS,and Lawrence Weiner—through a tour of their studio, followed by an essay about their practice, and detailed instructions on an art project that can be done from home.

Whether you’re shopping for your favorite beach lover or thinking ahead to your next tropical getaway, Vilebrequin’s collaboration with the artist Derrick Adams should not be missed. The artist has transformed a work from his summery “Floater” series into a vibrant, limited-edition print, which has been applied to pieces like swim trunks and a tote bag. The collaboration will also see a portion of the proceeds donated to Baltimore’s Eubie Blake Cultural Art Center.
