“Iconic Interior Designer Kelly Wearstler is back with her first new book in five years; Synchronicity, which profiles eight of her most impressive recent designs for us to fawn over. A master of colour, texture, and truly original design, everything Kelly touches turns to beauty, and I love nothing more than gazing at the spaces her mind conjures. 

Including 288 pages of dynamic interior spaces – including many never-before-photographed tours – his hefty tome is a perfect Christmas present for the design lovers in your life. Plus, the natural hued, zen-style cover will be beautiful in a variety of interior spaces, making it suitable for both your ‘Moditerranean’ friends and those with more of a country-style aesthetic.

“I love to come home after a long day’s work and sit on the couch, but recently I’ve been feeling like we could do with an upgrade from our green leather armchairs that are straight from the ’80s. Koala’s armchair, which also doubles as a bed, is the perfect solution…I can enjoy it, and so too can my friends and family when they come to visit.”  — Anna Campbell, Social Media Content Producer

“‘Tis the season for long, lazy lunches, picnics in the sun and lots of fresh fruit overflowing from bowls.

I’m always on the lookout for new table and kitchenware (especially during sale periods) and this cute, wavy set ticks all the boxes, and some. I can picture myself taking these to park picnics and sprawling out on a blanket with friends, sitting in the centre of my table or holding fruit and veg in the off-season. Plus, at $60 for three, it’s a no-brainer.” — Lucy Lindfield, Digital Editor

Best for: putting time back in your day!

“Why is this robot vacuum on my wish list, you ask? Well, I’m a mum of two and work full time. Need I say more? [Mic drop.]

The thought of a compact robot saving me from worrying about a time-consuming household task on the daily? Take my money!

Not only does this little robot vacuum your carpets and hard floors, it also mops, making it the perfect tool to help me get some time back in my oh-so-busy week to do more important things….like folding washing (because a mum’s work is never done).” — Emily Murray, Social Media Producer

For those unfamiliar, the beauty of this two-in-one product is that it cools while also using its powerful filtration system to rid your home of poor air and magically turn it into quality air.

Best for: staying snuggly

“I made a mistake. When I bought my current quilt, I made sure it was the same size as my mattress but I’ve now realised I should’ve actually sized up. My quilt is no match for my death-roll-like sleep movements, leaving me exposed to the cold in the middle of the night. Having that little extra room will allow me to stay cosy all night long.” — Anna Campbell, Social Media Content Producer

Best for: capturing memories

“I am a total sucker for preserving keepsakes (yes I have a giant memory box filled with birthday cards, school awards and locks of my children’s hair, doesn’t everyone??). But what about the days where we filled boxes with printed photos we’d spent days waiting to be developed and printed? Photos are so digital nowadays, and that’s why I love a Polaroid camera. They’re instant, retro, and fun to use! Plus there’s just something about a Polaroid picture that feels sentimental as each Polaroid is unique and captures a moment in time you might otherwise forget.” — Emily Murray, Social Media Content Producer

Best for: holiday desserts

“My mum is going to laugh when I tell her I’m coveting these stainless steel goblets, as I spent many of my teen years deriding something similar she had kept from the ’80s. But we all know what goes around, comes around, and chrome is having a major moment. From shiny silver serving platters and cocktail trays to metallic lamps and even coffee tables, this space-age trend is popping up in the homes of all the tastemakers, and, naturally, I want in. 

I’ll be using these goblets to serve desserts — think mousse (also making a comeback), ice cream and luxe affogatos — as well as dirty martinis, olives, and perhaps a dramatic mound of whipped butter — how retro.” — Bella Westaway, Senior Content Producer
