Finding the perfect gift is an art in itself, a reflection of how we see our loved ones and the relationships we share. The best gifts are considered, thoughtful and meaningful, and those same qualities define the DMY design ethos. Each DMY piece, from our sculptural frames to refined jewellery, is created with intention, crafted to feel personal and to capture a distinct sense of individuality. Whether they favour minimalist pieces, time-honoured classics or more assertive, standout designs, we hope you find something in our gift guide that feels truly personal, a gift to be cherished well beyond the festive season.

The Style Minimalist

Simple yet refined pieces are foundational to a timeless wardrobe, and for those inclined towards minimalist silhouettes, the Margot Black frame is an everyday essential. Defined by its clean lines and understated silhouette, it provides an effortless elegance, guaranteed to endure for many years to come. Create a thoughtful gift bundle with our Roma Hoops in silver – subtly textured, these sterling silver plated earrings offer a distinctive twist on a classic hoop style, delivered in a sleek and effortlessly sophisticated design. A complementary holiday gift pairing for the minimalist who prioritises craftsmanship and quality.

The Modern Classicist

And then there are our Classicists. The ones whose wardrobes are filled with archival pieces and vintage collectibles. For a gift guaranteed to impress those who appreciate the quiet power of enduring style, our gold Sandra Earrings in gold are top of our list of jewellery gift ideas. Offering a blend of timeless design with contemporary appeal, this pair is crafted from 18k gold-plated brass in a sculptural swirl with a baroque pearl. When searching for a frame to balance the mood, our Bibi Transparent Brown silhouette offers a subtly retro feel, defined by its refined oval shape and warm hue. A classic yet versatile piece she’ll continue to reach for, season after season.

The Tastemaker

Every circle has one – the friend who’s invariably the first to discover the latest designer on the rise, and the forerunner of the trends du jour. Chances are, she’s on your gift list this season. When it comes to necklaces, she opts for fresh, unique designs which still encapsulate an understated elegance. Our Odette Necklace, with its combination of polished onyx and milky-white agate beads, is the ultimate choice in refined jewellery gifts. For sunglasses, our tastemakers will undoubtedly fall in love with the Olsen in Dark Grey – a favourite of Gigi Hadid, this wire-framed design was inspired by ‘90s nostalgia. An inspired gift choice for the woman whose assured taste and discerning eye have cultivated her reputability as the style authoritarian.

The Statement Seeker

Unapologetically bold and self-assured, the Statement Seeker refuses to fade into the background. Her accessories echo that confidence; intentional choices that embody her style, like our Jett Necklace in Silver. Made from organically shaped links that vary in size, this striking piece carries a distinctive allure, promising to spark conversations. But the strongest statements aren’t always the loudest, as proven by our Valentina frame in Black/Amber. Our bestselling oval frame, worn by the likes of Bella Hadid and Olivia Dean, presents a quiet confidence in this amber frame iteration. This AW25 colourway is an ideal holiday gift idea for our statement seeker.

The Glamour Revivalist

For the women with an unwavering commitment to glamour, only a gift that matches her elegance will do. And our Bella Necklace in Gold is a must – with its hand-strung freshwater baroque pearls, this piece speaks to the timeless allure of old Hollywood charm. Finished with our signature sculptural clasp in 18k gold, this elegant necklace tastefully adorns the collar line, offering an unexpected versatility and a subtle hint of sophistication to every look. And for those whose nod to vintage style leans more understated, the Romi frame in Black is the perfect accompanying gift – sleek, refined and undeniably chic.
