Season’s Favorites: A Holiday Gift Guide

’Tis the season of gift-giving, and we take pride in offering the most exciting, unique, and curated collections to shop. This year, we present some of our favorite pieces, categorized for ease, to help you find the perfect holiday gifts for your loved ones.


Classic Christmas

If you’re searching for the perfect, timeless holiday gift, we encourage you to explore our Classic Christmas collection. These hand-selected items showcase true craftsmanship, and they are both timeless and exquisite. Simon Pearce handblown glass trees are collectible décor pieces that celebrate the beauty of the holiday season. Handmade in Vermont, these distinctly designed trees add an elegant touch to any display.

A quintessential Christmas staple is undoubtedly fresh evergreens. Our talented floral team spends the season creating custom-designed fresh evergreen wreaths. German smokers have a rich history of their own—cherished as symbols of traditional craftsmanship and festive Christmas décor. Whether you’re quaintly entertaining or hosting a grand feast, festive embroidered napkins bring a dining table to life. And nothing says Christmas quite like a classic fragrance—Thymes Frasier Fir remains an undeniable fan favorite.


European Adventures

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or simply appreciate European-made wares, fleurdetroit offers pieces that bring a “well-traveled” feel to any space. Adrift Pottery blends decades of experience with influences from Japan to Wales. Each piece is hand-built using traditional slipware techniques and decorated in a natural palette inspired by Pembrokeshire’s landscapes.

Swedish ceramicist Wilhelm Kåge is celebrated for his wide-ranging style—from functional tableware to exquisite decorative works. His iconic Argenta series features a distinctive aquamarine glaze adorned with silver.

Zsolnay Porcelain, founded in 1853 in Pécs, Hungary, is known for its artistic innovation, including the iridescent Eosin glaze developed by Vilmos Zsolnay. Their pieces became internationally recognized during the Art Nouveau period and remain highly collectible.

Sarreguemines pottery, a historic French maker dating back to 1790, is admired for its brightly colored, beautifully decorated ceramics, from dinnerware to architectural tiles, shaped by both French and German design traditions.

Guaxs, a family-run German studio, creates sculptural glass objects inspired by nature and global craftsmanship. Their vases and lanterns are hand-finished, giving each piece its distinctive organic character.


Snowed In

Snow days are synonymous with winter life in the Midwest, and we’re very pro–cozy night in. A favorite staple piece to encourage that cozy atmosphere is a lambswool throw by Wallace Sewell. Wallace Sewell is a British brand known for its contemporary, distinctive throws featuring bold geometric designs such as pinstripes, color blocks, and waffle or honeycomb weaves.

A cozy night isn’t complete without a good read. I Do Not Cook, I Do Not Clean, I Do Not Fly Commercial by Ashley Longshore is a fun, graphic coffee table book that highlights Ashley’s colorful life story and showcases her vibrant, bejeweled pop art.

A game of backgammon is a perfect leisure activity for a calm night in, and this version by Printworks is equal parts aesthetically pleasing and practical for game night.

A cozy tea is always encouraged, and a seasonal favorite for us is Noël in Love by Mariage Frères—a delicate, velvety blue tea inspired by Provence and the thirteen desserts of Christmas.

Finally, if you’re lingering indoors, the right scent sets the mood. The ONNO candle collection offers bold, distinctive fragrances that bring a luxurious calm to any evening in.


Timeless Hostess Gifts

If you’re invited to celebrate at someone’s holiday event this season, you should never arrive empty-handed. A simple, thoughtful gift shouldn’t break the bank or feel overwhelming. Our curated collection of hostess gifts offers lovely, intentional ways to say thank you.

La Madeline pottery is a timeless favorite for us—bringing style, charm, and effortless beauty. A Mazagran candle is an elegant, thoughtful gift idea. An amaryllis bulb nestled into a La Madeline Anduze pot is another meaningful, easy-to-love option.

One of our tried-and-true fragrance brands, LINNEA, offers a winter trio of signature holiday scents—perfectly sized for hostess gifting, especially if you’re unsure of your host’s preferred scent profile.

A bottle of wine can be instantly elevated with a reusable wine bag like this one by Atelier Saucier—a Los Angeles–based tablescape studio creating sustainable, customizable linens from upcycled and reclaimed fabrics.

And for a sweet finishing touch, we always stand by Compartés chocolates, also from Los Angeles. This artisanal chocolate company is known for handcrafted confections with unique flavors and striking, artful packaging. Their winter collection features flavors such as Sticky Toffee, Campfire S’mores, and Peppermint Bark—something for everyone.


fleurdetroit Artisan Made

If you have recipients who are hard to shop for, sometimes a gift with a meaningful story can make it even more special. Aside from all the lovely lines we bring in from around the world, some of our favorite pieces are made so locally that they come from our very own employees.

Geoffrey Rentovich creates images driven by an inner need to make work that is both beautiful and undeniably interesting. For him, photography is less about influence and more about capturing what compels the eye to stop and look.

Brian Joseph Skol is a classically trained painter and educator known for his dedication to representational art and his exploration of complex themes throughout his work.

Matt Wlotkowski is inspired by the versatility of wood and loves finding new ways to reimagine salvaged Detroit wood through his brand, Rough Sawn Detroit.

An alumna of Cranbrook Academy of Art, Laura Boyce designs vessels with both the human and the plant in mind, recognizing that interior spaces are deeply personal.

And finally, our extremely talented floral team creates custom arrangements—both live and faux—in a wide range of styles, vessels, and sizes.


This holiday season, whether you’re seeking timeless classics, worldly treasures, cozy comforts, thoughtful hostess gifts, or locally made artisan pieces, fleurdetroit offers something for everyone on your list. Each carefully curated item tells a story; sparks joy and makes the act of giving even more meaningful. We hope these selections help you create moments of warmth and celebration for those you love most.
