The holiday season is a time when we transform our homes into enchanting wonderlands, each reflecting its creator’s specific personal style. Behind every door you find a distinct magical scene. And part of the delight of this time of year is attending a celebration at your neighbor’s home full of homemade bohemian adornments, say — and then returning to your own classically elegant seasonal decor.
This aspect of the season also offers up opportunities when it comes to gift-giving: If you’re looking to show an extra layer of thoughtfulness this year, homing in on your recipients’ aesthetics is a simple but very savvy way to personalize presents. And once you’ve chosen them, go all in by wrapping each in a style you know the giftee will enjoy. Red and green may not be your favorite scheme, but the classic combo will fit in beautifully under their tree.
Whether they’re into vibrant hues or muted neutrals, you’ll find something in the picks below from Walmart.com that can match their vibe. Just remove the wrapping paper to reveal the items underneath.
Metallics
If their holiday world is filled with glimmering silver and dazzling gold, they’ll love a gift to match. Bring your host a houseware that’ll never go out of style, like a shiny candle holder, a cocktail shaker or a glass-and-pitcher set for the eggnog.
Naturals
We all have that friend who uses paper grocery bags and twine to wrap their gifts, and still somehow makes them look chic. Lean into their aesthetic with a gift that speaks to the natural elements of the season — think pine and cedar, for starters.
Classics
If your recipient is into the colors of Christmas, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Add to their decor, or help them show it off, with one of the picks below.
Neutrals
Hint: If they never wear hot pink or use anything hot pink, they probably don’t want a hot pink gift. But pick up something understated for the neutral lover in your life, and it will surely be appreciated.
