Holiday Gift Guide: Artsy Minimalism

Neutral colors and sleek, deceptively simple shapes have been having a major moment in fashion for the last several seasons. So it's no surprise that the fashion trend is making its way into home decor and holiday gift items, too. (It's also big on eBay: listings with the term "minimalist" are up 82 percent and sales are up 36 percent in a recent 15-day period vs. a 15-day period six months prior.) When finding the perfect gift for the minimalist, aim for the most elegant versions you can find of practical, everyday-useful items.

Holiday Gift Guide: Artsy Minimalism

1. Military Blouse: Help her catch the fashion trend — diaphanous silk looks so much tougher in a military style.

2. Paul Smith Wallet: This slim Paul Smith billfold comes equipped with a built-in coin purse.

3. French Press: There's something vaguely mod about this streamlined, candy apple red French coffee press.

4. Ericcson Telephone: This 60's style, fire engine red rotary phone makes a mod style statement.

5. Framed Mondrian Art: Gifting a pre-framed print saves the recipient time and money.

6. Painting Box Set: A slim attaché filled with all the aspiring artist needs to get her creativity flowing on the go.

7. Mechanical Pencil: So graphic and clean-lined—we love this writing utensil's architectural proportions and consider it an ideal gift for an office mate.

8. Heller Vignelli: A set of iconic, no-fuss melamine plates in an array of pop-bright hues makes for a smart holiday gift idea for someone who loves to entertain outdoors.
