Let’s be honest: nobody wants another scented candle from the mall. You want to be the person who gives the gift that makes everyone else stop talking and ask, "Wait, where did you get that?"
At Pineholm, we specialize in the "where did you get that." We’ve curated a list of budget-friendly (but bougie-looking) gifts—perfect for your design-snob friend, your fidgety coworker, or that one cousin who is impossible to shop for.
Here is how to win Secret Santa this year.
1. For the Stress-Ball: Newton’s Chaos Pendulum ($36.99)
Forget the standard clicking metal balls your dad had on his desk in the 90s. The Newton’s Chaos Pendulum is a mesmerizing, unpredictable kinetic sculpture. It spins, it loops, and it’s genuinely impossible to look away from.

Why they’ll love it: It’s basically art that distracts you from Zoom calls.
2. For the "It Girl": The Mirror Clock Block ($22.99)
Minimalism is out; Midimalism is in. This sleek, reflective digital clock vanishes when it’s off and shines when you need it. It’s small enough for a crowded nightstand but cool enough to end up on their Instagram story.
3. For the Local Patriot: Artist Series Puzzles ($30.00)
Designed by Canadian artists like Nicolle Lalonde and Amy Dixon, these aren’t your grandma’s puzzles of a cottage in England. They feature stunning, modern Canadian landscapes (like Kicking Horse Mountain).
-
The Vibe: A glass of wine, a snowstorm outside, and a puzzle that actually looks good when it’s finished.
4. For the Creative Soul: Tri-Art Watercolours (From $9.50)
Did you know we stock professional-grade art supplies? Tri-Art is a Canadian gem. Pair a few tubes of Viridian Hue or Primary Magenta with a nice brush, and you’ve just given the gift of a new hobby.
5. For the Intellectual: The Julius Caesar Pen Holder ($22.99)
Is it a little dark? Maybe. Is it hilarious? Absolutely. Let them stab their pens into the back of the most famous emperor in history. It’s a history lesson and desk organization rolled into one.
