Gifts for the friend who won’t compromise on design and function

Hi! I’m the founder of gr8 collab, a consultancy for design-led brands, a writer for Architectural Digest and SURFACE, and I also make content about brands, spaces, and creatives. As the friend who doesn’t think you should have to compromise on design and function, it seeps into everything I do – from the brands I work with, the design stories I cover, and evidently the gifts I give. Oh, and I was formerly the Head of Community and Curation at Thingtesting :).

Our curators independently select products for our gift guides, but Thingtesting may earn a commission if you make a purchase — supporting our mission at no extra cost to you. We always encourage you to read reviews and shop thoughtfully.
