An Exploration in Giving

At Iconic Palm Springs, gift is a verb. The idea of to gift has been used to make a present of from as early as the 17th century. It relays intention, purpose, and implies there are no strings attached. Whether it be a small token or an elaborate gift, the art of gift giving to spread joy, appreciation, and love is at the heart of our endeavors.

And, it’s just fun.

It’s really fun to deliver that special something that you know someone desires, and it’s also fun when you see the perfect gift for someone for no special reason or occasion, you just know they would like it.

Inspired by the inclusive and iconic design culture of Palm Springs; Iconic Palm Springs curates selections from artisan made, small batch, eco-friendly, LGBTQ, woman owned, and socially conscious ventures. In other words, great humans, and we found them all over the world!
