MY TOP PICKS FROM EACH GIFT GUIDE

MY TOP PICKS FROM EACH GIFT GUIDE

On each of my published gift guides, I have a few personal favorites. Some are items I purchase often (Diptyque room sprays, candles, coffee table books) and others are things that have been a hit with friends and family. For the last rush of online shopping, scroll below for my top picks from each category. Shipping times are getting tight and the countdown is on!

Resin salad servers, Golden Light book, Diptyque room spray

Beautiful salad servers, books on design, cooking, or gardening, plus room sprays and candles are always well received. Diptyque Gingembre is a warm, well liked scent, particularly this time of year.

 

Vuori pant, cashmere socks

The Vuori Ponto pant for men is sold out often for good reason. The slim silhouette is flattering, and the fabric is incredibly soft. Cashmere socks may not be on someone’s list, but they’re always loved and appreciated.

Theragun, AirPods Pro

Both the Thereagun and Hyperice are incredibly popular devices (and gifts) to help work out kinks and muscle tightness. They’d be especially welcome now with massage availability so limited. (I’m getting the mini for travel.) AirPods or other wireless earbuds are a must for workouts, but they’re also great for listening to a book, quiet downtime with a meditation guided app like Calm or a handsfree call.

pillow spray, cashmere wrap, sleep mask

My personal travel essentials include things that bring comfort when away from home. Sleeping with an eye mask and a pillow spray ensure a good night’s rest. I’ve raved about a cashmere wrap for years. For airplanes, hotels, restaurants, it’s a must have packing item for me. Beyond travel, it’s a great gift for lounging at home. I’ve given several to my mother over the years and she loves wrapping one around her shoulders while watching television or reading in bed.

 

glasses, Birkenstocks, Sweatty Betty top

The best at home comforts include shearling lined shoes, Blue Light blocking glasses (I keep several pair around the house) and a variety of elevated cozy tops or sweaters to replace basic tees.

Aesop body scrub, Supracor bath mitt, Diptyque hand cream

The above three items are personal beauty favorites. I LOVE the Supracor mitt, am obsessed with the rose scented Diptyque hand cream (Chanel too) and Aesop body scrub. All would make great stocking stuffers! More options here if above are sold out.

note pad, mini vase, throw

Lastly, it’s the little things that make a workspace at home special. Keep fresh flowers or greens on a desk contained in a pretty vase, upgrade note pads and paper goods with something more personal, and have a luxe throw handy to keep the chill away in style.

The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled b The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled by Roberto Johnson in this story from The Cut take me straight back to the 1980s. I'm sure we carried the exact pair at Lina Lee during my years employed at the Beverly Hills store. If I dig deep, I might still have them!​​​​​​​​

I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy sum I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy summer looks like this. This #ASCENO would be so simple to dress up or down with jewelry, flats or heels. And these #LOROPIANA brown sandals are fabulous classics. Both pieces would be the starting point for several outfits.

My must have summer accessories will always include stylish sunglasses. The @saltoptics x @amareesnewport frames are my current go-tos checking all the right boxes. Add my new petite Bottega bag and I’ll be good to go.

Meanwhile, I discovered the instagram account of @cauvarjao highlighting gorgeous properties in Brasil and Portugal like the home pictured here. So beautiful! Take a look!
