‘Tis the season for gift giving. For me that involves lots of homemade things - a favorite granola or an excellent box of cookies. For this year’s gift idea list I’m only including things I already own and love that also happen to make really great gifts…
This gray H&M linen tablecloth is a beautiful shade and of nice quality especially for the price…
This Lunya washable silk slip dress makes for one gorgeous nightgown (look at the back!)…
I bought myself the Oura sleep tracking ring early 2021 and it has had such a positive influence on my life. I’ve always prioritized sleep but the tracking has encouraged me to make small changes that have a big impact - being thoughtful about what and when I eat dinner, not drinking alcohol and embracing an earlier bedtime…
This gorgeous Ode Brew Grinder from Fellow is also fast and super quiet…
I love all of my Heath Ceramics but I think they look especially good mixed with other ceramics like these Hasami mugs…
And these minimal pasta bowls from Convivial…
My old Instant Pot kicked the bucket a few weeks ago and I replaced it with this new “pro” version. The much improved steam valve and the interior silicone handles are worth the upgrade alone…
For all the smaller people in my life I like to give books. A favorite is Big Ideas for Curious Minds from the brilliant people at The School of Life. It’s a wonderful one to read aloud with kids as the concepts apply equally to us adults…
This new Kids’ Encyclopedia is going to all of my nieces and nephews…
I’m giving The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Elements to my son…
Finding Muchness is really sweet…
This Strawberry Lemon-Ginger jam from Alchemist’s Jam in McMinnville, OR is my son’s very favorite. He’s giving a jar to all of his teachers this year…
The spices from Spicewalla are so good and the little tins are adorable. They make perfect hostess gifts and stocking stuffers…
Lastly, my lovely client T gave me these beautiful chocolates from Morito Chocolates in Brooklyn. Holy smokes they are so good that I’ve hidden them from my family and will not share. Not exactly the holiday spirit but they are that good. (Aaron if you are reading this, I love you and I apologize.)
