For The Kitchen:

For the cheese and charcuterie lover in your life, this monogrammed serving board from Crate and Barrel adds the perfect personal touch! Made of Mango wood and white marble, with inlaid brass in the shape of the letter of your choice. Each board is hand-made, meaning no two are alike, making it a truly special and personal gift.

 
 

We also love this pair of Bronzed Brass Salt & Pepper Shakers from CB2. The perfect complement to a modern and minimal kitchen aesthetic.

 
 

To add some texture to the kitchen (or bathroom), we recommend the Olive & Linen Terra Turkish Hand Towel. Each one is hand-loomed from Turkish Cotton and will only get softer with use. Stylish, yet durable and functional.

 
 

For the friend or family member that has everything, add some luxury to their kitchen with this Byerdo Suede Hand Soap. The scent is a crisp and luxurious combination of musk and florals. Also great as a stocking stuffer! 

 
 

For The Bar:

For our red wine connoisseurs, look no further than the Rabbit Pura Decanter available at West Elm. Our favorite wine decanter, with a built-in aerator, so it aerates while it pours - meaning you can drink your wine as soon as you open the bottle, no need to wait!

Also, for the beer enthusiast in your circle, Williams Sonoma has Rabbit Freezable Beer Glasses. Guaranteed to keep your beer (or other drink of choice) perfectly chilled for up to two hours. Great for indoor and outdoor use.

Know a mixologist who’s always entertaining? They’ll love a cocktail mixing set! Our favorite is from Williams Sonoma - a classic bar tool set with all the necessities - it comes in chic Gunmetal or Antique Brass options. 

Williams Sonoma also has some unique and fun ice molds. Perfect to match the receiver’s hobby or interest, they have shapes that come in baseballs, golf balls, footballs, Star Wars, and more! 

For The Coffee Table:

If you know someone who needs to refresh their coffee table decor, coffee table books make a great gift! Not only do they add visual interest to any living area, but our picks below are ones that any guest will want to pick up and read.

For architecture and design lovers, we recommend:

For those bitten by the travel bug, we love photographer Gray Malin’s travel books. Our top picks are: 

Assouline also has a fantastic series of colorful linen-bound books, highlighting international travel destinations. Not only is the content visually stunning and informative, but the books themselves make great decorative accents and add pops of color to any room. Our favorites are:

Every coffee table needs a great set of coasters. We love agate! Stunning and durable, it comes in a variety of colors and patterns to go with a range of aesthetics. Anthropologie has a fabulous selection of stylish coasters - our favorites are black quartz, amethyst, or rose quartz. A simple small gift that’s sure to add life to any coffee table.

For coffee table trays, Made Goods does them best! They make the most unique and elegant trays. Though they only work with trade professionals, if you’re interested in ordering contact us for help! Our favorites are the Faux Shagreen Trays, the Dante Tray Set, and the Shea Tray Set.

For Cozy Spa Vibes: 

For those loved ones that do everything for the people they care for, but never take time for themselves - give the gift of home spa essentials. 

The towels at Parachute Home are to die for. So cozy and soft, you’ll feel like you’re in a luxury spa and not at home. Our top picks are the Waffle Towels or the Soft Rib Towels. Both come in a range of colors to go with any bathroom aesthetic.

Skims Loungewear is so plush and comfortable, a great gift for those that like to cozy up inside during the winter months. We could lay in them around all day! Create a comfy set with their Cozy Knit Tank and Cozy Knit Pant. They also have adorable kids sizes - we love their Cozy Knit Robe. 

Another great gift to turn any bedroom or sofa into a zen sanctuary is the Abajo Alpaca Throw by The Citizenry. Handloomed and oh so soft and warm, you’ll want to cuddle up under this blanket all winter long.

 
 

For The Office:

For those friends or family members with home offices that need to be restocked, we love the Austin-based Katie Kime shop. Her monogrammed notepads are so fun and charming. You can choose your color, monogram font, and design to create a personal and unique gift.

To add some visual interest to office shelving, we love West Elm’s Black & White Striped Marble Bookends and Noir’s Cubed White Marble Bookends. Both are chic and modern and are an easy way to spruce up any boring bookshelf.

To create a pleasant working environment - we love Lafco candles - available at Niemen Marcus. Our favorites are Feu de Bois - Ski House - which has sandalwood, leather, and frankincense. Champagne - which has notes of grapefruit, ginger, and raspberry. And Chamomile Lavendar - which has chamomile, lavender, and sage. Their scents can turn any room into a space that you want to spend time in.
