For the Someone that has Everything

Chive Gift Card


Unique gifts are the ones the recipient still has in five years. Chive Studio has designed that kind of object in Toronto since 2004: ceramic wall flowers shaped by hand and formed one at a time, glass ornaments painted by hand, cards, candles and jigsaw puzzles. This page is built to route you, not to make you scroll. The tiles above open each category; the recipient links send you straight to the pages we have written for a particular person or occasion; the grid below is a short list of the pieces we would give ourselves.

Museums and botanical gardens carry Chive work in their shops because it photographs well, ships well and holds its value on a shelf. For gift buyers that translates to three practical things: nothing here needs a particular wall colour or a particular style of home to work, a boxed set arrives ready to give without wrapping, and a gift card covers the moment you truly cannot decide. If you want a hand, the FAQs at the bottom answer the questions we hear most in November and December. 

All Gifts


Christmas Gifts

Christmas gifts from Chive fall into two camps: the tree and the wall. For the tree, the ornament collections are grouped by theme (food, travel, space, sports, funny) so you can match one to the person rather than the decor. For the wall, a boxed ceramic flower set is the piece that gets unwrapped, held up and photographed. Cards and candles round out a stocking. Order dates for guaranteed Christmas delivery are posted in the FAQs below and updated each season.

Handmade Gifts

Handmade gifts carry a different weight when the maker is visible. Chive Studio's ceramic wall flowers are shaped by hand in small runs, no two exactly alike, and the glass ornaments are painted by hand, one at a time. That is why the same pieces sit in the shops of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and the Chrysler Museum of Art. The cards, candles and puzzles are designed in the same studio and hold to the same standard: made to be kept.

Exhibiting at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show since 2013; twice awarded the 5-star booth award — only two are given each year. Featured by The O List, Vogue, Real Homes, GQ, HGTV and InStyle.

Frequently asked questions about unique gift ideas

What are unique gift ideas for someone who has everything?

Unique gift ideas for someone who has everything are objects they would not buy for themselves: a ceramic wall flower shaped by hand, a boxed set of three, or a hand-painted glass ornament tied to a hobby or a trip. The test is whether the gift is specific to them and whether it will still be on display next year. Chive's boxed sets and themed ornament collections are built for exactly that.

What are good gifts for couples?

Good gifts for couples are pieces that go up in a shared room and belong to both people: a set of three or five ceramic flowers hung as one piece, a pair of ornaments from the same collection, or a puzzle for a winter weekend. Avoid anything that reads as one person's taste. A ceramic flower box set is the most-given couple's gift from Chive because it hangs as one composition.

What are the best gifts for grandparents?

The best gifts for grandparents are things they can display and talk about. Ceramic wall flowers work because they need no watering, no dusting beyond a wipe, and no particular decor to look right; a boxed set of three arrives ready to hang. Ornaments tied to a place the family has been together are the other favourite. Both ship worldwide, so distance is not the problem.

What are unique Christmas gifts?

Unique Christmas gifts are the ones that do not appear on every list: a hand-painted glass ornament shaped like a favourite food or a city landmark, a ceramic wall flower in the recipient's colour, or a card that is funny on purpose. Chive designs all of these in Toronto and has since 2004. The ornament collections on this page are grouped by theme so you can match one to the person.

Do you offer corporate gifts?

Yes. Chive supplies corporate gifts in quantity through its wholesale program, including boxed ceramic flower sets and themed glass ornaments. Minimums, lead times and bulk pricing are confirmed by email; the wholesale page linked in the footer has the current details.

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Ceramic flower box sets ship in a printed gift box that needs no additional wrapping. For other items, and prices are never shown on the packing slip. Chive does not currently offer paper gift wrapping.

What is the last day to ship for Christmas?

The last day to ship for Christmas depends on destination and is posted here each November. As a guide, orders inside Canada and the continental United States placed the week before Christmas day with standard shipping arrive before December 25; express options extend that by a few days. Gift cards are delivered by email instantly and have no cutoff.

What are good gifts under $100?

Good gifts under $100 from Chive include a single ceramic wall flower, a pair of hand-painted glass ornaments, a candle and card together, or a 500-piece puzzle. A boxed set of three small ceramic flowers also sits under that line. Every option ships worldwide.
