Shop Lighting
Some gifts feel good in the moment, then quietly vanish into a drawer. A well chosen lamp is different. It earns its place, the bedside light they reach for every night, the soft glow that makes a corner feel lived in, the reading light that pulls the room together.
Below are five favourites we genuinely rate as gifts. They are all in stock and ready to dispatch. After that, you will find a wider selection of giftable lamps to browse if you are still deciding.
Five gift ready favourites (in stock and ready to dispatch)
&Tradition Flowerpot VP9 Portable Lamp
If you want something cheerful and design led, the VP9 is hard to beat. Designed by Verner Panton in 1968, the Flowerpot’s two hemisphere shade is instantly recognisable, and it throws a soft, flattering light that works almost anywhere.
Because it’s portable, it’s the kind of gift that gets used straight away, bedside, bookshelf, kitchen table, and even outdoors. With an IP44 rating and up to 11 hours of light on the highest setting after a full charge, it’s a small lamp with a lot of flexibility.
Why it gifts well
- Portable, easy to place, no installation needed
- Warm, gentle light, great for evenings
- Loads of colour options, easy to match their style
Artemide Nessino Table Lamp
The Nessino is the smaller sibling of Artemide’s Nesso, designed by Giancarlo Mattioli in 1967. It has that classic, slightly space age silhouette, simple, bold, and still somehow playful. The light is directed down onto the surface, but the diffuser’s gently opaque finish lets a soft glow escape through the form as well.
It’s a great pick for someone who loves design history, or someone who just wants a proper statement piece that still functions as an everyday lamp. With a range of finishes, including newer vibrant colourways introduced in 2024, it can lean classic or more expressive depending on the interior.
Why it gifts well
- Iconic design, instantly elevates a room
- Compact size, easy to fit on desks, shelves, side tables
- A proper “keep forever” piece
New Works Kizu LED Portable Table Lamp
The Kizu Portable balances two things really nicely, it feels sculptural, but it also feels calm and practical. Designed by Norwegian designer Lars Tornøe, it pairs the natural weight and character of marble with a soft, ambient glow.
It charges via the included USB C cable and delivers up to 10 hours of light, with a simple three step dimmer on the top of the lamp. It’s an easy bedside upgrade, and it also works brilliantly on a shelf or sideboard where you want a gentle pool of light without trailing cables.
Why it gifts well
- Marble always feels luxury, great for gifting.
- Portable, cable free, easy to move around the home
- Dimmable, so it suits mornings and evenings
Anglepoise Original 1227 Floor Lamp, National Trust Edition
A floor lamp might not be the obvious Valentine’s choice, but for the right person, it’s a genuinely thoughtful gift. The Original 1227 is a classic for a reason, it’s highly adjustable, beautifully engineered, and made to be used daily as a reading or working light. Anglepoise also backs it with a lifetime guarantee, which says a lot about the design and build.
This limited National Trust edition adds a slightly softer, more interior friendly palette, with buttermilk, sage green, and neptune blue, finished with brass and chrome detailing. It’s the kind of lamp that makes a neglected corner feel intentional, or turns a sofa into a proper reading spot. Anglepoise also makes a contribution to the National Trust with each purchase, supporting conservation work.
Why it gifts well
- Practical, long lasting, designed for everyday use
- Adjustable task light, perfect for readers and home workers
- Limited edition finish with a good cause attached
Mater Terra LED Portable Lamp
The Terra Portable is a brilliant option if sustainability and materials matter to the person you’re buying for. It was launched as a David Village Lighting exclusive, created by OEO Studio and Mater, and made using Matek, a recycled composite formed from post consumer e-waste mixed with coffee shells or wood waste. It looks clean and minimal, but there’s real substance behind how it’s made.
Functionally, it’s a strong all rounder, a three step dimmer (20%, 50%, 100%), a six hour charge time, and up to 10 hours of use fully charged. The light is directed downward, which makes it especially good on a desk, coffee table, or bedside, and it sits comfortably in both home and work settings.
Why it gifts well
- Thoughtful material story, without shouting about it
- Portable, dimmable, genuinely useful in everyday spaces
- Works alone, or as part of the wider Terra collection
If you are not sure where their taste sits, classic, minimal, playful, or a little more sculptural, this is a good place to start. These are the kinds of lights that feel thoughtful without being high risk: practical enough to use every day, well made enough to live with for years, and designed to add a bit of shape and warmth to a room without taking it over.

A simple rule of thumb
If you want a gift that feels romantic without being overly literal, choose a lamp that suits how they actually live, bedside if they read, portable if they 're always on the move, adjustable if they work from home, sculptural if they care about interiors.
