Muse, mother, grandmother, civic advocate and style icon, the unstoppable Diane von Furstenberg hints at the gifts she will be placing under the tree for family and friends in Marcus Gaab's final installment for our Gift Wrapped series. Whether  home-grown garden spoils or dazzling rocks, the selection channels the spirit of the German princess turned New York fashion royalty. Below the legendary creator of the wrap dress describes how even the grandest gifts require a very personal touch.

Assouline’s Ballet Russes
I love books and I’ve had my eye on this monograph. It is magnificent and something that will last forever.

Diane Fragrance
This is the ultimate accessory and gift!  

Bvlgari’s Diamond, Emerald and Ruby Ring
A beautiful piece of jewelry—something from a far-off time or place—always makes a memorable gift. Jewelry should make you remember the person who gave it to you. I might give one of my favorite art deco pieces to my granddaughter, or find something special just for her.

Fresh Fruit
I love to give my friends whatever is growing in my garden at the time. Food is nurturing and simple, and everyday gestures can be so sweet.

Vintage DVF Throw
The best gifts are personal and these were inspired by my trips to India. Each one is unique, so I can choose according to my friends’ tastes. A perfect gift for your holiday hostess.

Love

Men are always hard to find gifts for, but for my husband, I finally gave him me!
