Your 2021 Holiday Gift Guide: Loro Piana Boots, Marlo Laz Jewels, Cassina Dishes, and More

For the person on your list who prioritizes comfort and style, you’ll want to shop UGG’s Holiday 2021 collection. While it included the return of more classic offerings in neutral hues, our favorites were the options with a little pizzazz—like the slip-on Scuffette slipper with the multicolor sequined shell and purple sheepskin trim.

The jewelry designer Thelma West’s elegant gems are at the top of our list, and we thought you might fall for them, too. Playing with atypical shapes and motifs, the brand achieved a modern take on timeless beauty through styles like the Rebel Rose ring with a pear-shaped diamond. Also included is our favorite pair of dangling emerald earrings, which showcase mismatched triangular diamond studs at its tops.

If you know someone who loved Agnes Martin’s exhibition “The Distillation of Color,” you’ll want to snag them a copy of Pace Publishing’s new book of the same name. Take a deep dive into Martin’s work through writings, like a personal introduction by Pace President and CEO Marc Glimcher, essays from names like Durga Chew-Bose and Olivia Laing, and words by the artist herself, each looking at themes of color and solitude through Martin’s singular gaze.

For the astrology-obsessed, a ring stack from Marlo Laz’s “Wave” collection should do the trick. The collection represents each of the 12 zodiac signs with a wavy band reading signs like “Virgo,” “Libra,” and “Capricorn” in gold, each set in colorful enamel and surrounded by their representing symbols and a few dainty stones. First, choose your desired thickness in the Zodiac Enamel Wave bands (II or III) and then pick a corresponding birthstone ring to complete your stack.

The Brazilian eyewear brand LAPIMA is the place to go when in search of a groovy, fashion-forward gift. Thick acetate frames in bold hues make up the collection of retro-informed lenses, which also offer optimum UV protection. Of the brand’s variety of unisex frames, our favorite is the Sasha X in Atlantic Àgua—a chunky take on an aviator shape, imagined in a swirly, deep blue acetate that’s reminiscent of the ocean.

Perfect for outdoor aficionados and city dwellers alike is Loro Piana’s latest selection of women’s boots. Luxurious and practical, the maison debuted two styles, which are outfitted with durable combat soles and soft cashmere lining. The Regent Fishing boots combine calfskin and rubber for a multicolored knee-high take on a classic rainboot, while the slightly sportier Lomond ankle boot takes cues from a hiking boot, making for the perfect footwear option for cold-weather hikes or wading through the sludgy city streets after a snowfall. 

Cassina has debuted a collection of homewares highlighting the work of the late designer Charlotte Perriand. Whether you’re in search of a gift for the design-savvy or hunting for a less traditional set to outfit your holiday table, these porcelain dishes are bound to please. Imagined with three abstract patterns in blue and white, the set includes a charger, dinner plate, bowl, and dessert plate.

Gifting for those with a particularly refined taste can be challenging, so consider opting for something classic and timeless. This year, Deborah Pagani’s fine jewelry is at the top of our list for this very reason, and the Triple Honey Tourmaline Link necklace in specific. Three oval-shaped pink tourmalines, each set in a honey dome, add just the right touch of color to the thickly woven 18karat yellow gold chain.
