Holiday Gift Guide: Modern-Day Nomad

This holiday season, it's all about far-flung, nomadic-inspired opulence: opt for striking colors and when it comes to prints—the bigger and more exotic, the better. When searching on eBay, there are over 3,900 listings with the term "Uzbek" and over 2,000 with the term "suzani"—two terms we turned to frequently when sourcing the product picks for this holiday gift guide. Even if you haven't left the neighborhood, these well-traveled holiday gift ideas make you look like a frequent flier.

Holiday Gift Guide: Modern-Day Nomad

1. Suzani Pillow Case: The lavish embroidery and lush color scheme add a glamorous, exotic vibe to any space.

2. Tibetan Singing Bowl: Strike this beautiful bowl with a mallet and hear an elegant chime; it's a traditional design piece that's used in modern-day practices like meditation and sound therapy.

3. Uzbeck Dress: So decadent (and gorgeous for New Year's Eve)—we love the combination of complex stitching on crimson silk.

4. Tibetan Coral Turquoise Necklace: A dazzling mix of turquoise, amber, coral, and brass beads set on a dramatically oversize scallop-edged collar.

5. Mongolian Slippers: Made of super-thick wool, these charming, pointy Mongolian slippers are sure to keep toes toasty.

6. Russian Matryoshka Dolls: A set of hand-painted, egg-shaped nesting dolls hand-painted in a traditional floral motif.

7. Tibetan Teapot: Such a striking serving piece, from the squirrel handle to the richly saturated canary yellow color.

8. Uzbek Pichok Knife: Totally hand-forged, this is perhaps the most unusual—and stylish—chef’s knife ever.
