Objects That Outlast Trends: A Guide to Timeless Holiday Gifting using Collector Pieces
If you’re a seasoned (or unseasoned) collector, this guide will help you curate your own library of collector pieces, and timeless options for the holiday season that outlast temporary trends to illuminate you and your loved ones space, giving you pieces that last a lifetime. We’ll be focusing on what I like to call, the three P’s: patterns, patchwork and pastels. This framework will help you quickly select items that are tasteful, elegant and long lasting.
Choosing collector’s pieces should never feel overwhelming, especially when gifting for the holiday season. Instead, take it slow, and approach this with intentionality. Think of it as curating a mood — made from care and love. Using the three P’s, your gifts and your space can become a reflection of beautiful, timeless intention.
At Ever Lasting Fabrics, we believe every season is an opportunity to create magic and this is no exception.
Collector’s Pieces: Patterns to Die For
When it comes to choosing collector’s pieces, pattern is everything - it’s also one of the three P’s. A mix of patterns across bedding, pajamas and decor demonstrates careful intention, planning and care. Consider swapping out various pieces and patterns as the holidays change.
Try these patterns for your next collector’s pieces:
- Geometric: A unique, mathematical sequence, you can find this in the form of lines, circles, squares and spirals.
- Natural/Organic: Nature is the inspiration here - think florals, leaves, and even the bark from trees.
- Illustrative: These can be cartoons, characters, or even designs like Christmas trees!
- Mixed: Patterns that incorporate any of the above is categorized in the mixed section - think of a collage or mixed media approach.
Each pattern tells its own story. Use this pattern guide to develop your personal collector’s pieces and showcase your personality through the items you choose. Alternatively, when gifting a patterned item consider the other persons interests and let that inform your decision.

What makes the holiday season truly special is the feeling it evokes, especially when you have the chance to give gifts with intention. In the second P’s, focus on the patchwork you choose this season.
Remember: collector pieces aren’t about an abundance of items, but about intention. You don’t need an extravagant gift spread or a perfectly decorated space, either. What people remember most is how they felt — cared for, acknowledged, and warm. Something we all need more of this season.

Collector Pieces: Pastels to Incorporate
The third P- pastels, are beautiful color’s that you can find in pretty much anything, and add exclusive items as collector pieces. Create that special kind of magic— be known as the person who crafts gifts with devotion, planning and care. Pastels is a great way to show that.
To choose memorable collector pieces, think beyond basic appeal.
- Calming psychological effect — Pastels are known to naturally have a calming, positive impact on your mood. That’s already a great start to a gift and any collector pieces.
- Their light reflection qualities allow for items to brighten a space, appear airier, and overall more open.
- Positive associations: pastels have many positive associations, and they are linked to joy, new beginnings and more. Embrace the positivity of the winter season.
Let your pastels reflect the kind of intention you are trying to show with your collector pieces — intentional, timeless and everlasting. Each gift you give and every moment you create is designed to be enjoyed, during the holiday season but also long after the season is over.
Collector pieces are an act of care. It's about:
- Curating gifts and items that demonstrate intention.
- The collector pieces you choose set the tone for every bit of comfort you experience, as well as others.
- Once you've given your gift, the Christmas spirit should be present once the unwrapping is done where every detail is noticed. That is the power of collector pieces. That, is everlasting.
Use collector pieces to make your Christmas gifts shine above the rest. Stand out with intentionality and bask in all the holiday joy with collector pieces!
