Happy solstice, one and all. Ahead, 15 things we’re noting this weekend and beyond:
- Calling all last-minute browsers! All our 2025 gift guides are now live. Shop the full collection on Remodelista and Gardenista, for the host, the aspiring gardener, and for yourself.
- “I have a wrapping obsession,” writes Annie. Here’s what she’s saved for inspiration this year, ft. found papers, cut-outs, and kitchen twine.
- Ooh, would love to go to this Wes Anderson exhibit at the Design Museum in London.
- And on view at Tiwa Select: “Dana Arbib: Vetro Tesoro”; catch it before it closes December 20.
- Everyone’s making paper chains.
- A festive swag—just add a potato.
- And the most popular finds of the year are: a storybook-chic table lamp, a Scandi folded-paper shade, and a spa-like find for the bath.
- Which is more environmentally friendly: fake or real Christmas trees? Finally, a clear answer! (Hat tip: Margot.)
- Kier plans to pop by Flowerland’s Winter Market in Albany, CA, this weekend.
- She’s also taking her family to Filoli Garden for its Holiday Light Show.
- How crazy-beautiful is this?
- Chrysanthemums in shades of sunset. #flowergoals.
- Such pretty windowsill-scapes. “The fourth image might be favorite,” says Fan. Which one is yours?
- “Even the high-end chargeable lamps are often made of plastic, so I love that this new offering from Original BTC has a bone china shade and metal base. Unfortunately, it has a price to match,” writes Laura.
- The year in gardening, and seven small reasons to have hope.
- P.S.! This week and next, we’re taking our annual winter nap. Tune in for our favorite holiday stories from the archives and the greatest hits of 2025; we’ll report in with a new Current Obsessions on December 27 and be back with our regularly scheduled content on January 3. Happy holidays!
