Peekaboo Ponchos and Pepper Vases: Jill’s 2023 Gift Guide
Welcome to what just so happens to be our 10th annual Sight Unseen gift guide series! Though Sight Unseen itself is celebrating a different milestone next year — 15 years since we founded the site back in 2009 — we only began sharing all the objects on our covet lists in 2013, back when United Bamboo was making cat pillows, we had some very cute Waka Waka bookends in our online shop, and you could still buy an Alma Allen bowl for $425 (ugh!). Our tastes may have changed quite a bit since then, but our gift guides still have the same spirit, which is above all highly personal: They reflect the objects we really want and the objects we think you might want, either for yourself or a loved one. Today’s guide comes from Jill, who’s excited about bean-shaped candleholders, a slumped raspberry pitcher, and a vase encrusted with ceramic chili peppers. See — and shop — her full list below!
