Read on to see what things Team Martha will be slipping under their trees this holiday season. 01 of 27 'In Stitches: The Enchanted World of Coral & Tusk' Rizzoli "You may have seen the charming embroidery of Coral & Tusk gracing dish towels, pillows, and other home goods—think fine needlework displaying a woodsy wonderland of flora and fauna. Thankfully, the mastermind behind the brand, artist Stephanie Housley, has created a book sharing her life's work of drawing and embroidery. It is a gorgeous gift perfect for craftspeople, nature lovers, artists, designers, and home enthusiasts of all ages. And get this: The cover is actually embroidered, so your recipient gets a book and a piece of art at the same time." —Melissa Breyer, Editorial Director Buy on Amazon 02 of 27 Martha Stewart Knife Set Courtesy of Amazon "I have this knife set, and it looks so beautiful in my kitchen, thanks to the wooden butcher block and linen-hued handles." —Madeline Buiano, Editor Buy on Amazon 03 of 27 Nocturne Pajama Set Courtesy of Matouk "I'm a big fan of Matouk's bedding, and they just started doing pajamas too. They're worth the hype! Made with Egyptian cotton, you're guaranteed a good night's sleep in these." —Helena Madden, Senior Editor Buy on Matouk.com 04 of 27 Brooklyn Roasting Company Holiday Blend Gift Set Courtesy of Brooklyn Roasting Company "For the coffee lover on your list, nothing can compare to the gift-worthiness of Brooklyn Roasting Company's bodacious beans. This is the coffee I drink daily and one of my favorite gifts to give—which generally converts the giftee into a BRC devotee like myself. This is a feel-good, taste-good brew with a focus on sustainability and fair wages for farmers, always with flavor in mind. This year’s holiday blend has sweet, smokey notes and a luscious, lingering finish—and the gift set comes complete with a ceramic diner mug to complete the experience." —M. Breyer Buy on Brooklynroasting.com 05 of 27 Dolphin Studio Calendar 2025 Courtesy of The Dolphin Studio "The creation of Dolphin Studios’ gorgeous hand-printed wall calendar is a family affair—and has been for 54 years now. Each month is designed by a different family member spanning three generations. The final product is then printed and shipped from the Berkshires, where the family resides. This high-quality calendar serves a twofold purpose in households: as a rotating art piece and a functional reminder of dates and time." —Mélanie Berliet, SVP & Group General Manager, Home & Design Buy on Thedolphinstudio.com 06 of 27 Personalized Cutting Board Courtesy of Crate & Barrel "A butcher's block is a functional gift but still looks elegant while left on display in the kitchen. Personalizing it with initials or their last name makes it the perfect gift for anyone who just moved into a new home, or loves to spend time in the kitchen! This one from Crate & Barrel is my favorite because of the blend of different wood hues." —Olivia McIntosh, Associate Editor Buy on Crate & Barrel 07 of 27 The Sophie Faux-Fur Throw Blanket Courtesy of Anthropologie "The coziest blanket I own, the emergence of this heavy faux-fur throw is a true sign of the holidays. It's super plush, comes in a variety of colors, and is weighty enough to combat any winter chills." —Maggie Andrew, Associate Director of Social Media Buy on Anthropologie 08 of 27 Jeni's Ice Cream Sampler Box Courtesy of Jeni's Ice Cream "Last year I started giving fun food gifts to my family and friends instead of a material item that will sit on the shelf and collect dust. My husband is an ice cream fiend, so I knew a custom box from Jeni's would be such a fun gift for him—and he loved it! Their boxes come in 6, 9, or 18 pints, so you can sample a bunch of their unique flavors. It's even more special for those of us who don't live near a Jeni's location!" —Abbie Harrison, Associate Editorial Director Buy on Jenis.com 09 of 27 The Velvetiser Courtesy of Hotel Chocolat "For the hot chocolate aficionado, this wonderful machine heats your choice of milk (dairy or alt) gently and melts your choice of chocolate flakes to make the most luxurious hot chocolate imaginable. Also, I love its copper good looks." —Victoria Spencer, Senior Food Editor Buy on Hotelchocolat.com 10 of 27 Estelle Colored Glass Iridescent Champagne Coupe Set Courtesy of Anthropologie "I'm SO partial to a coupe glass. My friend has these on her bar cart, and they feel neutral enough to keep on display but still offer a nice pop that goes beyond plain crystal." —M. Buiano Buy on Anthropologie 11 of 27 Voluspa Baltic Amber Reed Diffuser Courtesy of Valuspa "This is one of Voluspa's best-selling scents, and it doubles as decor when gifted as a diffuser. Once it's empty, you can repurpose the glass as a bud vase, propagation container, etc." —M. Buiano Buy on Voluspa.com 12 of 27 Breville Espresso Machine Courtesy of Amazon "Making fancy coffee drinks at home will be a huge trend in 2025, and this machine does it all." —Nicole Anderson, Editor, Newsletters Buy on Amazon 13 of 27 Martha the Cookbook Courtesy of Amazon "Martha's 100th book is what everyone will expect me to give this year.

Buy on Amazon 14 of 27 Le Fleur Shearling Wool Slippers Courtesy of Parachute Home "Both my fiance and I own a pair, and we're obsessed. They're cozy, warm, and perfect for the colder months.

Buy on Parachute 15 of 27 Landscape Ceramic Dinner Plate Courtesy of Moda Operandi "I love Laura Chautin's artwork—it reflects the bucolic English countryside she visited growing up. Her new ceramic collection perfectly captures that landscape." —H.M.

From a Bird Patch Club Subscription and Warblers Jumbo Tote to the Sibley Birder’s Life List & Field Diary, I could make my whole Christmas list bird-themed! But since not everyone is quite as birdy as me, I'll be giving the Birds of Eastern North America puzzle—because everyone loves puzzles, right? Even better, Bird Collective was founded to raise awareness and funds for native bird conservation—so every purchase goes toward supporting our feathered friends, which may be the best gift of all." —M. Breyer Buy on Birdcollective.com 17 of 27 John Derian x Astier de Villatte Pear Tree Cup Courtesy of John Derian "I am smitten with all things John Derian and all things Astier de Villatte—put them together, and it's smitten overload. In this collaboration, collage artist Derian's 19th-century-inspired images grace Paris-based Astier de Villatte's handmade terracotta for ceramic pieces that are both classic and whimsical. Each item is so special (something that is reflected in the price tag)—this pear tree cup is a perfect starter piece and could be used as a cup, vase, or vessel for special things." —M. Breyer Buy on Johnderian.com 18 of 27 Madhu Chocolate Bars Courtesy of Madhu Chocolate "Great for gifting, these chocolate bars taste as good as they look. They combine spices with chocolate in a way that enhances both. I haven't met one I don't like, but favorites include the Saffron Milk and Vanilla Fennel." —V.S.
