For this segment, we’ve tapped three interior designers to divulge the material items they’re coveting this season across the board (interiors included, of course). They’re each dishing on their most swoon-worthy gifts, ranging from divine leather handbags to flatware to candles under $100. So get your pen and paper ready, and we promise we won’t tell if you borrow a few of their ideas to add to your own wish list—they’re that good.

“I’m a big fan of the French artist and designer Christian Bérard. I love these bold, graphic figure studies by him—they’d make an excellent addition to my small collection of drawings and photographs from the 1930s and ’40s.”
Tinsmiths French Country Pottery Hexagonal Platter
“How beautiful is this traditional French country platter? The hexagonal shape is fabulous, as are the colors. It was made in Burgundy and is available via Tinsmiths, a favorite interiors shop of mine.”
D.S. & Durga Burning Barbershop
“D.S. & Durga makes some of my favorite fragrances. Burning Barbershop is all charred mint, vanilla, and smoky lime. It’s a perfect deep, dark perfume for winter.”
Dries Van Noten Crushed Velvet Turtleneck
“I’m very much into Dries Van Noten’s winter collection. I’m also having a real crushed velvet phase at the moment, so this turtleneck would be ideal. I love the dusty pale pink color, too.”
Ebury Trading Large English Doulton Urn
“I’ve been keeping an eye on this English Doulton urn for months. I love its unusual shape and design. It’d look great on top of an old column or plinth in our dining room.”

Ted Muehling Biedermeier Candlestick Collection in Oxidized Bronze
“I’ve wanted these candlesticks for so long. They’re not inexpensive, but I definitely would want a grouping of them. Three-to-five of these on a table and around my house would be beautiful.”
