Shiny, Sparkly Instagram Gifts For the Magpies In Your Life
December 09, 2020BruceDayne#DMTBeautySpot #beauty
If you didn't spend the entire year indoors, then you at least spent most of your non-working hours inside this year. In any case, our windows became vitally important — providing us with fresh air, ambient, noise, breezes, and sunlight to help us simulate being outside. The last of these, sunlight, became one of 2020's most significant decor trends. In the absence of huge windows, people turned to all-white or beige interiors that best reflect light. We want light however we can get it. At night we're taken care of by our LED lights, but during the day we want to dot our personal spaces with as many reflective, shiny, sparkly surfaces as possible.
All over Instagram — amid a sea of pastel candles and squiggly rugs — we're seeing all kinds of sparkly goods. This is where things like ashtrays, key trays, candlesticks, and all kinds of high-gloss glassware come in to play. Additionally, we're wearing just as many sparkly things — rings, bracelets, and lipgloss — to add cheer when we look down on our keyboards or look up into a Zoom meeting. Like magpies, we've placed a premium on anything that reflects light.
Any very-online person in your life would appreciate you gifting them something to help bridge their online and IRL lives. For unique (and more affordable) finds, first look to your local thrift shop's kitchenware section where some of the best glassy finds await. But if social distancing or other circumstances stand in your way, read on for some glossy, sparkly finds from across the internet.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team, but if you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Casa Shop Blown Glass Tumbler Set
This is for that uber-stylish boss who has everything. Anyone who scours Instagram for style and decor trends will recognize Casa Shop's name as being a top purveyor of vintage glassy goods. The price tag is hefty enough that it's unlikely someone would buy these for themselves, which makes them a great group gift.rabbitgoo Rainbow Windo Cling
Do you need a gift for someone's teenage kid? A niece or nephew? Someone young and trendy who either lives in a dorm or rents?
Rainbow window cling is the daytime version of TikTok lights. This contact paper filters sunlight and showers any room with rainbows. All you have to do is peel and stick, and it's available on Amazon.
Swarovski Annual Edition Ornament 2020
Crafted with more than 100 clear crystal facets, this ornament will catch her attention wherever it's hung.
Swarovski Annual Edition Ornament 2020, $, available at SwarovskiNünchi Cakes
Over the summer jellos became a trendy Instagram dessert that was both light and refreshing. Places like Nünchi in Los Angeles take advantage of the nostalgic form to pay tribute to childhood staples like plastic princess shoes and lipgloss.
This is what you get your friend with innumerable food allergies and dietary restrictions. We typically know gelatin to be a pork byproduct, but today's updated made-to-order gelatin creations largely use vegan gelatin instead. So these desserts are vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free. As far as cakes go, these are basically edible jewels.Maison Balzac Bedside Carafe
If you're looking for trendy decor items you've likely seen on Instagram, look no further than Coming Soon New York's online store. There you'll find an endless assortment of glasses, mugs, carafes, and teapots made of colorful glass.
The Bedside Carafe will make any bedroom feel like a chic hotel room. If the set's original function doesn't suit you, you can also use it as a separate vase and glass or use the carafe to serve punches, batch cocktails, and lemonades for post-pandemic dinner parties.Xuebing Du Print
Dew-covered petals and iridescent flowers are California-based photographer Xuebing Du's signature subject. You can buy prints of her work on her online shop.
KAREZONINE 8" Mirror Disco Ball
Disco balls are entirely impractical and may require installation. However, perched on a bookshelf or on a windowsill, they work their magic and shine dots of sunshine all across your living room or bedroom when the sun hits it just right. You can find them at thrift stores or garage sales but when all local options fail, Amazon also works.
Karezonine Store Disco Ball, $, available at Amazon
