I need the perfect gift

Hi everyone! I’m on the hunt for a really thoughtful gift for someone whose tastes are a bit specific, so hoping someone can help with some clever ideas?!

Likes / Style:
• Loves home interiors and meaningful pieces rather than tatt
• Prefers jewel tonesteal, emerald, navy
• Enjoys classic styles as well as Moroccan and Indian styles.
• loves natural oak paired with black metal, and accents of gold, rose gold and copper.
• Collects vintage glass bottles and likes them displayed, not tucked away
• Has a nice new shaker kitchen
• Enjoys painting and drawing
• Reading crime and psychological thrillers
• Watching similar shows

Dislikes / Things to avoid:
❌ No cosmetics, bath or shower products due to allergies
❌ No scented items (candles, fragrance, etc.) — allergy reasons
❌ No velvet or overly “fussy” décor
❌ Not into clutter — prefers beautiful, purposeful items
Budget: roughly £50–£150

I would love suggestions that feel special, thoughtful, and aligned with the vibe above — especially things that are not “typical gift” items. Maybe something that becomes a favourite feature rather than ends up in a drawer!
If you’ve given or received something like that, please share thanks

There’s very little on their website. Two cushions and a couple of light fittings…
