If you asked us what our absolute top gift recommendation would be for 2022, you probably already know by now what we’d answer: our new book, How to Live With Objects, which is both a great read for hardcore design enthusiasts as well as — as Monica jokingly put it recently — “how to make your house cool for dummies.” Even if your friends or loved ones don’t avail themselves of all the tips in the book, like how to shop a flea market like a pro, or how to style their objects on a bookshelf, if nothing else it will still look amazing on their coffee table. But in case you need a few other ideas, don’t worry, we’ve also compiled 100 best-gift-of-2022 runners-up, starting with Monica’s 50 picks, including a colorful under-$200 drinks cart, a rhinestone-encrusted hand sanitizer pouch, and a pair of hand-shaped wooden salad servers.

To recap: our book about objects = best gift. These 50 objects = pretty good too, lol.
