Depending on your personality, the lead-up to the holidays can be one of two things: a time to carefully plan and curate gifts to suit every person in your life or a mad last-minute rush to find an item that ships fast.
While we'd like to think we fall into the former category, the reality of the holiday season often means that last-minute gift shopping is inevitable. After all, when you factor in work deadlines, holiday cooking, end-of-year parties, and other festivities, a few gifts are bound to get left late.
To prevent the week-before rush, we asked MyDomaine's team of editors to share their top present picks for friends, family, and colleagues—and the items we're coveting for ourselves. We've come across countless great gadgets, gorgeous décor, and smart accessories in 2017, and these are the best under $200. We'll see you at checkout.

If there's one shop I'm completely and utterly obsessed with, it's The Line. Can the team please just come and style my whole house? But seriously, I have been eyeing this mirror (and many more) for too long. It's time I added this beauty to cart.
I love a glass of vino, chardonnay to be exact. It's my one vice at the end of a long week (or day). But now that winter is in the air, my palate is craving richer pinots and cabernets. This decanter will let the red wine breathe while looking mighty pretty on the table. It's also a great way to impress your houseguests.
It's my New Year's resolution to cook more whole foods, and this mortar and pestle is so pretty that I will want to get in the kitchen and make things from scratch.

I love a beautiful candle. It's one accent every polished room has. But sometimes a candle isn't always convenient, which is why I'm obsessed with this room spray from one of my favorite candle companies. With its vintage perfume bottle design, it doubles as a beautiful decorative object when not in use.
While many people believe that paint is the single most transformative thing you can do to a room, I believe it's the mirror. This one from CB2 not only opens up a small room, but it also doubles as a creative wall art. I'm obsessed. Oh, and it's also insanely affordable. Win-win.

I've been collecting matches from various restaurants and shops over the last five or so years, and my collection has outgrown the glass mason jar I've been using—this bowl is a chic upgrade.
I have to admit, I'm a big fan of Eyeswoon—so when Athena announced she was releasing a cookbook, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. One of my resolutions for 2018 is to cook more, and hopefully, this will inspire me.
I love these vases, as they'll be perfect sitting all together on my entryway table with some eucalyptus branches. Plus, they're handcrafted in New York, which makes them extra special.
