Holiday Gift Guide 2025: The Best Gifts of the Year
Made to last, made by someone, or made to make life lighter
Hi, it’s me.
I stayed up way too late again, ignored every responsible thing on my list, to find us the best gifts of the season.
But not just this season. All seasons. The timeless ones.
Made to last, made by someone small, or made to make life a little lighter.
That’s the filter. That’s the whole thing.
Every single item in here has been vetted, tested (or deeply researched), and is the kind of thing that actually gets used and loved.
Looking for more? I’ve also made guides for
All updated until Christmas with the good stuff only.
Call It By Your Name Bag or Custom Large Senior Bode Bag: Personalized, handmade, the kind you use for decades.
Extra Large Wooden Bowl: The bowl that makes people stop and ask where you got it. Salad for eight, popcorn for movie night, fruit that looks like art. Gets used constantly. Lasts forever.
Pistachio Bowl: A bowl specifically for pistachios. Or olives. Or nuts.
Athena Calderone Cutting Board: The cutting board that makes everything else look better.
Holiday Pajamas + Soular Therapy Room Spray: Pair them. Good pajamas + room spray = whole bedtime ritual.
Leather Jewelry Box: For the person who keeps their grandmother’s ring and needs somewhere worthy.
Burgundy Velvet Photo Frame Ornament + Wine Pastries: Pair them. Velvet frame for their tree + wine for the table. Both indulgent, both keepers.
Thumbprint Rocks Glasses: For coffee, bourbon, or water that feels special. Daily use item. The weight matters.
Olive Tray & Olive Dish: Used for olives, cheese, or any other small snack situation you’re hosting.
Quirky Ornaments: Whimsical, personality-filled ornaments for trees that need character.
Book Clutch: A clutch that looks like a book. Clever, chic, conversation-starting.
The Ranch Jacket: Investment outerwear that lasts decades.
The Pill Box - Small, beautiful, functional.
Mini Contour Bowl: Lasts literally forever.
Olive Atelier Bowls, Vases, Boards: One good vessel you fill seasonally instead of buying new decor constantly.
UnHide Blanket: The blanket that ruins all other blankets. Impossibly soft, ethically made, lasts forever. Worth every penny.
Hibi Youth Skincare: Simple formulas, sophisticated results. My current obsession.
Boll & Branch Sheets: Sheets that get softer with every wash. Everyday indulgence.
Tecovas Boots: The wear-forever pair. Classic, broken-in luxury.
Luxury Edition:
If you’re going to splurge, make it count.
JP Mimi Oval Sapphire Ring: Blue-green sparkle, quiet glamour, timeless energy.
Château Treasures Leather Shoulder Bag: A leather that looks vintage from the moment you open it.
Bishop’s Lodge, Santa Fe Stay: Design that makes you exhale.
Hammered Silver Champagne Cooler: The kind of hosting piece people ask about.
TheraFace Mask Glo: Spa results, pajama setting.
Graham Coaster Set: Polished, heavy, and quietly extravagant.

CYK Caviar Signature Set: Perfectly salty happiness.

Currently still ignoring my responsible to-do list,
