Gifts that make everyday life feel like a celebration

Interior architect Joanna Amemori loves to give her loved ones gifts that make daily life both beautiful and functional. “High-quality objects continue to delight for years after the holidays and serve as a lasting reminder of the giver. The best gifts are often the ones you’d wish for yourself. From these wonderful pieces, I’d happily welcome anyone into my own home.”

How to Create a Stress-Free Christmas

For Joanna, the holiday season is all about time spent together — and, of course, good food. “We spend Christmas with our relatives. We plan the menu together and everyone brings something to the table, so no one is overwhelmed and cooking stays enjoyable.”

Gifts are chosen with care. “I don’t believe in showering children – or adults – with presents. Thoughtful gifts that last are the best. The adults receive just one gift each, and we draw names to decide who buys for whom. This tradition makes the season far less stressful — and much more joyful!”
