For the Boho Babe

Gifts for the friend with rattan everywhere and more plants than shelf space: woven baskets, planters, textured cushions and candles in warm neutrals. If you are styling the look yourself, our Modern Boho range is set up for building a whole room.

Buying for someone whose house looks like a Pinterest board. You know the one: rattan everywhere, more plants than shelf space, and a strong opinion about the right way to throw a blanket over a chair.

This is the gifting edit rather than the full scheme. Pieces that land because they fit what she already owns without duplicating it: a woven basket she will absolutely find a use for, a planter that suits the fiddle leaf, a textured cushion in exactly the right warm neutral, a candle that smells like somewhere better.

If you are styling the look yourself rather than shopping for someone else, our Modern Boho range is organised for building a room. This page is for when you need one good thing, wrapped, by Saturday.

What is a good gift for someone with a boho style?
Something textured or living-looking that adds to what she already has: a trailing faux plant, an organic-shaped Harmie vase from Ned Collections, a perfume oil in a warm scent like SANTAL, or a guided journal such as the Axel & Ash Press PAUSE.

Are faux plants a good gift for a plant lover?
They are for anyone short on light or time. Trailing faux plants like String of Tears or the Split Philo Hanging Bush hang where real plants would struggle, and a faux fiddle leaf fig from 90cm to 1.8m fills a corner without watering.

What scents suit a boho home?
Warm, woody and a little spicy: sandalwood, tobacco, amber and vanilla. The Perfume Oil Company's SANTAL and VICE sit in that family, while GYPSY takes its inspiration from Byredo's Gypsy Water.

How do I style a boho shelf without clutter?
Pick a warm neutral palette, then vary texture and height: a trailing plant, a ceramic vase, a stack of books and a concrete or timber tray to group small things. Leave about a third of the shelf empty.
