Don’t be afraid to break the rules

When it comes to giving gifts, we’ve all been guilty of overthinking the process. Don’t spend hours agonizing over what will match perfectly in the receiver’s home. Chances are, they’ll appreciate anything you choose, from the smallest ornament, to the tablecloth that will set the stage for memories to be made around the dinner table.

For the home

We’re spending more time than ever before in our homes, and it’s important to make them a place of absolute serenity, comfort, and calm. Help create a boho inspired oasis when you choose home accents such as silky, plush animal print pillows, SmithHönig exclusive patterns, exotic art pieces and cozy scents.

Deck the walls

Bring life to bare walls with wall hangings, colorful wallpaper, or unique canvas prints to instantly add warmth to a space.

Give their bookshelves a makeover

Did you know? Acrylic art blocks make the perfect book ends. Compliment your favorite titles with an unexpected pop of color.

Hang it up – unique decorative gift ideas to hang on the wall

If traditional art and photos aren’t your thing, go for an unconventional and unique vintage travel accessory that doubles as a work of art! Embroidered by hand, SmithHönig’s stunning saddlebags conjure images of the deserts they are inspired by. One of our favorite ways to use these tasseled pieces is to hang them on the wall for an instant infusion of boho luxury.

Easy as 1, 2, 3. Liven up a powder room with removable wallpaper

Put a unique spin on traditional wall art

Finishing touches are what make a home a home. Not every gift needs to be enormous and ornate to make a statement. Have a friend or family member that just moved into a new house?

Home decor gifts such as acrylic serving trays, blocks, colorful pillows or wall art can help complete the transition from house to home, and provide lasting value that continues long after you the gift is unwrapped.

Our modern canvas and aluminum wall art collections add instant pops of color to your walls. Choose from abstracts, culturally diverse images, and special patterns. Mix and match pieces to create the perfect global collection.

Add some hippie style and color with throw pillows

In a sea of solid pillows, a throw pillow can complete a couch or bedroom set. SmithHönig’s throw pillows are bold and unique, utilizing vintage fabrics and global textiles discovered on buying trips around the globe.

Bedouin Hand Embroidered Pillow Make for Excellent Gypsy Gifts

Bold and colorful throw pillows made by Bedouin women in the Negev Desert using traditional “path of love” and other motifs. Handcrafted by local artisans, these pillows conjure images of exotic lands and rich culture.

Mix and match pillows to create a bundle

We have a tried and true approach for mixing and matching:

1. Pick your base pillows
2. Pick a layering pillow
3. Pick a finishing touch pillow

If you need more than just a finishing touch, create a pillow bundle from start to finish! Choose several pillows to form your base, add a layer of color, and finish with a bold pattern for the perfect set.

Lux scented candles

A luxury set of scented candles can be the perfect antidote for stress. Let your loved ones know you’re thinking of them in these crazy times with delicious smelling candles that they can cozy up with this winter.

For The Table

A well set table is the centerpiece of your entire dining room. Not only for the holidays, but all year round. It is where your family and friends will gather to create memories and conversation that will last for years. Create a cohesive table setting with a beautiful table runner and matching linens. Don’t forget to complete your masterpiece with coordinated tassels, and a cozy scented candle set.

Double the gift giving power: Reusable Gift Wrapping

A gift wrapped within or on another gift, may just be the most creative gift of all time. Package your presents in reusable, sustainable fabric or get creative with a round or square lucite tray as a way to transport smaller gifts. You can even stuff a vintage stocking to the brim to reach maximum gift giving capacity!

Acrylic Serving Trays as Gifts and Gift Baskets in One

Gift baskets are great, but rarely reused. Acrylic serving trays can be used to create a beautiful arrangement of candles, ornaments, or as an accent piece to pile with books and other accessories when delivering gifts. Repurpose atop coffee and entryway tables as a way to show off books, candles, and more – you can even change them with the seasons.

The perfect gift for those who love to host. Exclusive SmithHönig patterns and high quality, durable Lucite make serving trays a standout gift this holiday season.
