We’ll be the first to admit that we’re guilty of loving gold. And when the holidays come around, there’s no excuse not to give everything the goldfinger treatment. Armed with a can of spray paint, we’ve glammed up everything from pine cones to feathers, picture frames to pottery. But since not everyone is a fan of DIY and sometimes, let’s face it, projects get a little bit out of hand, we’ve chosen some of our favorite gilt gifts, each and every one a gleaming, decadent and totally chic. So while some might shy away from bold gold, we say there’s no better hue for the holidays.
