Hunter Craighill's Gift Guide

Hunter Craighill's Gift Guide

   
Dear Friends,

Below is a wishlist of some of my favorite items — from both Craighill and elsewhere — that might offer some inspiration during this season of generosity. I’m always on the hunt for special objects, ones that stop me in my tracks. The best discoveries often wind up as gifts for my favorite people – objects that find a triangulation between meaningful, indulgent, and slightly unexpected. Here’s hoping some of these items resonate with you or someone in your life!

THE DOG LEASH
BY: TONE CUSTOMS

This is the kind of leash that makes me wish I had a dog.

 

 

THE CARO PEN
BY: CRAIGHILL

I'm constantly searching for a pen: to write a reminder, to label my lunch in the studio fridge, to diagram a design detail before I forget it. The Caro Pen was designed precisely to solve this problem. With it firmly secured to my keyring, I always know I have a pen within arm's reach.

 

 

AMARYLLIS
BY: WHITE FLOWER FARM

The miracle of horticulture, attainable in the midst of winter, in the convenience of your home. A pre-potted Amaryllis requires only water and light to produce some highly impressive blooms in just 8 weeks. Pairs wonderfully with our Cloud Planter.

 

 

THE ARRIS SLIGN
BY: CRAIGHILL

I wear this to work every day, packed with my lunch and a few other necessities, strapped across my back so I can bike unencumbered. Water-resistant, comfortable, and handsome, to boot.

 

 

THE WAVY LAMPSHADE
BY: MUNRO AND KERR

A simple modulation of a traditional lampshade construction results here in a strikingly beautiful form — and an easy way to update an otherwise olde lampe in someone's life.

 

 

THE JACK PUZZLE 
BY: CRAIGHILL

The Puzzle that started it all, and still our most challenging to solve. Five of the pieces have to precariously align while you slide the final 'key' piece into place, which locks the form together. Is it captivating? Is it harrowing? Yes!

 

 
THE PLAYDATE 
BY: PLAYDATE

From the folks that brought you 'Untitled Goose Game' — We've long admired the creativity behind this new handheld gaming device. Introducing a crank as an input method strikes just the right balance between brilliant and absurd. And the build quality is a pleasure to behold!

 

 

THE FACET BOWL
BY: CRAIGHILL

I have a soft spot for simple, elevated storage. The narrow / wide scale of this piece makes it particularly well-suited for smaller spaces (entryways, bookcases, coffee tables) and the materiality and sculpting can add a final polish to any thoughtfully composed space.

 

 

THE PELICAN 1200 CASE
BY: COLORCASE

I love these brightly-colored Pelican cases. I use a large trolley version as my carry-on luggage. They're watertight, versatile, and bomb-proof. Does my lifestyle require storage with all those technical features? Absolutely not. Do these cases bring me joy? They do.

 

 

THE HITCH WALL HOOKS
BY: CRAIGHILL

Have you ever been on a nice boat? Where every inch of the cabin is crafted for maximal efficiency and beauty? A well-placed wall hook can bring a little bit of that intentionality to your home.

 

  
THE BERRY BOWL
BY: RACHAEL POTS
Berries always feel like this precious and decadent thing. And the blueberries this season! How lucky are we are to possess such a quantity of these tiny sweet fruits? The ritual of gently washing and sorting my berries, and subsequently storing them in my fridge, requires a special colander, made just for them.
 
 
THE ORBITAL SCREWDRIVER
BY: CRAIGHILL
Functionally and aesthetically superior to the classic acetate-handled version. I find myself searching for excuses to tighten and loosen all the screws in my apartment, just so I can experience the joy of this screwdriver.
