10 holiday gift ideas for the decor lover in Toronto

Holidays are an extra special time of year for the decor lover in Toronto - any holiday, really. They get to spiff up their home (even more than usual) and show everyone just how amazing they are at decorating their place by throwing the most jaw-dropping dinner parties. When someone has as much of an eye for design as your favourite decor lover, you want to make sure your gifts don't disappoint.

Here are my picks for holiday gift ideas for the decor lover in Toronto.

Wolf head wall hangings

Move aside deer bust, it's all about the wolf now. Yes, we love antlers on our walls - they're timeless and fab - but the decor lover on your list will appreciate the refreshing Canadiana-style touch these wolf heads bring to a room. Available at Cry Wolf Clothing from $60-150.

Geometric tealight golders

Made from solid cedar and finished with natural linseed oil and lemon scent, you can bet these geometric candle holders will add warmth to any space. Set of 3, available at Sondermill for $63.36.

Buffalo-checked tea towel

For the decor lover on your list that appreciates old country charm, this classic tea towel makes for a versatile gift. From Pehr Designs, $15.

Wooden acorns

Cute as can be - and functional, too! Little knick-knacks can be stored inside these handmade oak and cherry containers. They're great for placing around the house - particularly in decorative bowls or alongside books on a shelf for an attractive vignette. At Green Light District Design, $55 each.

Handmade art tiles

Attractive earthenware tiles by Xenia Taler can be used as trivets, coasters or simply hung on the wall as art. Choose from a range of different motifs such as cats, penny loafers or flowers - whatever suits the recipient's personality best. From $20-$56.

Woodland matryoshka dolls

Russian dolls get a fun, furry twist. This set of woodland characters will make for a charming piece all year long on the mantel, on a side table or even on a bookshelf. Available at The Paper Place, $24.95.

Brass mist sprayer

If your decor lover likes to keep high-maintenance plants in the house that need to be misted, not watered, a mist spray bottle makes a useful and stylish gift. When not in use, it's good-looking enough to be displayed on a shelf as an "objet". At La Merceria.

Spiral line vase

There are times when gifting a vase can be a yawn - but not when the vase looks like this. A clean black-and-white colour palette and gradated spiral stripes give this vase a modern aesthetic that's hard not to love. At Vintage Fine Objects, $39.

Geometric doormat

Do your part to keep that impossibly well-decorated place clean. Before the weather gets really bad and people start trekking slush indoors, impress your decor lover with a cool door mat. At Drake General Store, $38.

Cupcake and donut ornaments

Is your decor lover a Christmas enthusiast (with a massive sweet tooth)? They'll love decorating the tree with these sweet ornaments. Mini donuts, $8 each, and cupcakes, $7 each, at Scout.
