Is there any place more convenient than Amazon come holiday season? With millions upon millions of products, there are a lot of gift options to choose from, which is precisely why we launched 10 Things That Make Me Happy, a series that asks designers and tastemakers to share their favorite picks for gifting or getting this holiday season. There’s something for everyone on your list, even at the last minute (thank you, Prime Two-Day Shipping). Each product is also available to see IRL at the Domino x Amazon Holiday Home pop-up in SoHo, New York. The convenience of Amazon, narrowed down by the coolest tastemakers—’tis the season, indeed!
Potter, designer, and author Jonathan Adler brings his iconic POV to a holiday list filled with colorful entertaining gifts, like pink plastic champagne coupes, red lobster cracker tools, and high-style coffee table books. He’s also developed a new brand, Now House, that’s stylish and available exclusively on Amazon. The mid-century, ultra-modern line is classic Adler fun. The king of whimsy has just made holiday shopping so much easier.
Cloud Vase, Now House, $38
Our cloud vases look just as good without flowers as with, and they’re heavenly solo or in a group. I kind of nailed it, if I do say so myself.
Lacquer Stacking Boxes, Now House, $68
Your shiny things deserve a glamorous home. The glossy exterior makes even your CDs look like the Hope Diamond (and provides a fab hiding place for a TV remote too).
Small Chroma Obelisk, Now House, $48
Obelisks are a decorator’s secret—they instantly perk up a lonely tabletop, mantel, or shelf. Whoever said “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” never met an obelisk.
Checkerboard Dining Chair, Now House, $148
I’m having a black-and-white moment, and I think you should too. This chair is as comfortable as it is photogenic.
Soccer Style: The Magic and Madness by Simon Doonan, $20.39
I read everything, and this book is one of the best. And, no, I’m not just saying that because my husband wrote it.
The Authentics: A Lush Dive Into the Substance of Style by Melanie Acevedo and Dara Caponigro, $40.69
I was photographed and interviewed for this book—it’s a lush dive into the substance of style from some of my favorite creatives.
Lobster Nutcracker, Harold Import Co., $8
The best thing in the world? Lobster. The worst thing in the world? Trying to hack into one with some tool that looks like it’s straight out of the Middle Ages.
Four-Piece Champagne Coupe, Sugar & Cloth, $9.99
I don’t drink, but these champagne coupes are cute enough that no one will realize I’m sipping sparkling water.
Victoria and Albert Museum, London
When I was in college, I studied in London and spent every waking moment at the V&A. It continues to inspire me to this day.
North Shore Animal League, Port Washington, New York
Our dog, FoxyLady, is the most perfect creature Mother Nature ever created. I’m so grateful to the North Shore Animal League for this angel—please donate so other families can be so lucky.
