Fun yet sophisticated, we love this contemporary glass art for the home, by Turkish company Ilio. The "Ice Drop" candle holders and the "Bouquet" vase make a great gift - for yourself or for someone deserving. The aptly named candle holders are inspired by delicate ice formations, with the drip, drip, drip of glass leaving its trail. The Ice Drop would look great lined up along your mantel or adorning the window sill. Meanwhile, the Bouquet vase takes on liquid art form. This suspended vase can be hung in a bedroom or bathroom, or arranged in a cluster at different heights in a living area. And filled with fresh flowers or your favorite greens, you can bring spring indoors any time of year. Check out this contemporary glass art by visiting Ilio.

Whether you’re dressing your tabletop to the nines to host a dinner party of your own, or heading out to be served at a friend’s, the “Pear” decorative salt and pepper shakers make a great gift any time of year. Designed by artist Michael Aram (who mastered traditional metalworking in India), these gilded fruit bring a bit of understated sparkle to any table, so to speak, not overshadowing or distracting from your fares but adding to the overall atmosphere. We love how candlelight dances in the reflective finish. These gold-plated, ceramic shakers are finished with oxidized stems and a leaf. Retail price is $99. Buy the "Pear" Salt & Pepper Shakers at Neiman Marcus.
