12 stocking fillers for every kind of person in your life

The holidays are quickly approaching, which means you may or may not be panicking about what to buy for your friends and family. So, we’ve stepped in to save the day and compile a list of things for every type of person in your life, from the activist to the trendsetter, art aficionado to the feline fanatic, we’ve got you sorted. 

For the art aficionado—Great Women Artists

Featuring everyone from Cindy Sherman to Frida Kahlo, Great Women Artists reflects on an era where art made by women is more prominent than ever. Fully illustrated and packed full of information, the ideal gift for any art fan—but particularly those looking for a new perspective on art history. 

For the fashion forward cyclist—Marine Serre long moon gloves.

The perfect Marine Serre gloves. They glow in the dark. Ideal or the chic cyclist in your life.

For the film AND perfume lover—Folie à Plusieurs perfume

While you may not be able to find an obscure New Wave film they haven’t seen, you might just be able to find one of their favourite movies that they haven’t smelled from niche perfumer Folie a Plusieurs. The New York-based scent-makers specialise in translating films like The Lobster  and La Haine into unisex olfactory experiences.

For the magazine obsessive—a yearly subscription to SLEEK

For the fashion, art, and photography fanatics in your life, why not treat them to a year-long subscription to SLEEK? Four copies straight to your door, along with an Acqua di Parma candle to say thank you. More information here. 

For the cutting-edge photography fan—Sophie by Camille Vivier

French photographer Camille Vivier’s portraits of the body-builder Sophie are some of our favourites this year—now collected in a photobook from Art Paper Editions. Vivier’s striking images offer a new interpretation of what the female body may be.

For the trendsetter—Ana Khouri earpiece

This sculptor-turned-jewellery-designer’s earpieces reimagine how jewellery can adorn the body. From large diamonds in mixed cuts to off-centre necklaces ornamented with neon-bright gems, these are the perfect stocking fillers for your favourite trendsetter.

For the fashion AND feline fan—Choupette by Karl Lagerfeld

For fashion and feline lovers alike, this collection of images shot by the late Karl Lagerfeld reveal the decadent lifestyle of the world’s most famous and most pampered cat, Choupette. Lagerfeld personally chose and sequenced these photos from a collection taken on his own iPhone, which reveal a tender, playful look into Choupette’s precious world.

For the indie cinephile—a Mubi subscription 

This one is for all your friends and family who are much too niche for regular old Netflix. A treasure trove of cult classics, independent cinema and award-winning films from around the world.

For the feminist history buff—Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism by Kristen Ghodsee

Unless you are living in Finland, it is easy to get frustrated with all of the right-wing nonsense that seems to be going around. Kristen Ghodsee’s expertly researched Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism has a few heartening research results about how societies benefit from treating women better—great for shutting down that uncle who wants to tell you about how female sex organs make women less qualified for certain positions.

For the indulgent homemaker—a Gucci cushion

It’s the most wonderful time of year to spoil the home-bird in your life with a hand-appliquéd, ultra-cutesy Gucci (or Guccy as the case may be) throw cushion.

For the activist—SLEEK x Walls hoodie 

For the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in November, SLEEK wanted to raise awareness about the cultural divisions that still exist today, so we released two limited edition sweaters with proceeds going towards Save the Children. More information here.

For the person who has everything—Ahryun Lee ceramic drinks bottle

We must eliminate the use of personal plastics to save our planet, so this 1500 euro porcelain drink bottle is eco–friendly; utilitarian even. This is for someone with a high–pressure, corporate job who requires a talking point at the water cooler, and neurotic enough energy to dispel conversation when needed.
