The minimalist's ideal gift strikes a balance of being fun to open, and serving a purpose once it finds its place in the recipient's home — not always an easy order to fill. These five ideas are sure to delight, both in their whimsy and practicality.
Pauline Stanley Studio Metal Mobile
A piece of art [1] ($148) that floats in its space, rather than weighing it down, is sure to suit your favorite minimalist's style. This mod mobile features laser-cut geometric shapes.
Samsung Galaxy Buds
The future of ear buds is wireless, and Samsung Galaxy Buds [2] ($130) fit the bill, and score major minimalist points for their pint-sized, portable charging case.
Umbra Two-Tiered Tray
A tiered tray [3] ($23) is ideal atop a dresser or bedside table to keep trinkets and jewelry neat and accessible. This one is ultra-elegant.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A
Staying organized (and entertained) on a sleek tablet [4] ($280) is minimalist style personified.
Modern Aura Frame
Clear up the clutter of a bookshelf or side table filled with family photos, and consolidate them onto a slideshow on a nice, modern digital frame [5] ($300).
