The issues we’re noting this week all have the spirit of winter festivity, even—particularly—amidst ever-shorter days. Have a look:

- This week in Present Guides, Justine detailed 10 tiny (but no less design forward) stocking stuffers; on Gardenista, Fan rounded up gifts for the nature lover. For decor, hunt down classic ornaments with a modern twist; and prepared the visitor bed room with pretty bedside water carafes.
- Margot is hoping to cease into Living Abstraction, the exhibit of multimedia artist and early Dadaist Sophie Taueber-Arp, now by way of March twelfth at MoMA.
- London readers: Ornamental artist Tess Newall is internet hosting an ornament-painting workshop tomorrow, December twelfth, at Anthropologie Spitalfields; reserve your spot here (and keep tuned for far more of Tess’ work subsequent week).
- Noticed in Vogue: the first winter clothing collection from longtime Remodelista favourite Salter House, that includes quite covetable (and comfy) blouses and bloomers.
- Save the date: Victoria, BC-based Hold is internet hosting a solstice market on December twenty first; extra information here. (See additionally our authentic Shopper’s Diary: A “Reverence for the Everyday” at Hold in British Columbia.)
- For utilitarian stocking stuffers: Garrett Wade is providing 50 p.c off over 200 old school instruments now by way of tomorrow (December twelfth); store here.
- A DIY gilded tree, inspired by nature.
- And a weekend venture: wrapping paper, dyed with tea.
