We all have people in our lives we go to for insiders’ tips and advice — gurus who know the hidden gems, the best strategies, the things we never would have heard of without them. At 1stDibs, when it comes to gifting, our sellers are those insiders. Who better to clue us in to the rarest, most special and often unexpected objects we soon find we can’t live without?
To provide a dash of holiday shopping inspiration, we asked five of our top sellers to share items they think would make great gifts for all the special people in your life (yourself included).
The Somerset House
“If money were no object, I would love more than anything this Slab II coffee table from George Nakashima,” says Alan Eckstein, of The Somerset House. “It goes well with any sort of living room situation.”

“This is over 10 carats of diamonds,” Debra Kent, of mightychic, says of this Hermès Birkin 35 Porusus crocodile bag. “It is an absolute beauty for the holidays. What a special gift that would make.”
Maison Gerard
“A gift I would recommend for this holiday season would be a few or one of these bottles,” says Benoist Drut, of Maison Gerard. “They are made of ceramic by a French ceramicist called Eric Astoul. I love the playfulness, the uniqueness. They are all handmade.”

“I love getting brooches as gifts, because they can jazz up any outfit,” says Reagan Garvin, of M.S. Rau. “Here, I have an incredible Raymond Yard brooch. I love how whimsical the rabbit is. And the beautiful sapphires paired with the dazzling diamonds come together in this perfectly designed piece.”
