EIGHT SPECIAL GIFTS

Settling into the first week of December with a fresh focus on gifting. I ignored all of the urgent Black Friday sales over the last week knowing that most of them would slide into Monday and beyond when I could shop at a more relaxed pace.

I’ve highlighted eight things here that I think are special. Cire Trudon’s Fir Candle for the hostess (perhaps add the Trudon brass candle plate), a stunning marble catchall to collect jewelry or stand on its own, a sleek backgammon set (or this one in leather for the more traditional), or a leather journal are all thoughtful gestures. Honor an event from the year with a memento like Baccarat’s amber crystal butterfly or adding a photograph to L’Objects’s beautiful gold frame. Consider a fabulous throw or decorative match striker for someone who appreciates  little luxuries at home.

All of these items, and many, many more are available at Bloomingdale’s with their Cyber Monday promotion running from 12/2 – 12/4. Take 15% off $100, 20% off $200 and 25% off $400 or more.

Cire Trudon candles and diffusers elevate the art of home fragrance~ most well loved scents are Ernesto and Abd El Kader. Seasonal favorite pick is Fir Intermezzo.

An assortment of home decorative objects catered to the recipient ~ marble catchalls in black or beige, wood carved vases (also in natural) or bowls (small and large), a trio of brass rimmed marble trays (love!) and a brass trimmed horn vase/pencil cup.

In addition to the lucite backgammon set, these leather bound sets are beautiful in black/gray, camel/tan, brown/taupe, and not shown, dusty rose.

I love a good frame. Personally, L’Objet’s chunky chain style is giving a 70’s style vibe that is super chic. The rounded corners on the triple banded option is right up there too with a nod to art deco. The pillowed ceramic frames in camel or green are simple, special and gorgeous.

A leather bound journal is a thoughtful gift for anyone ~ especially for those who love to document their travels. I also love the idea of giving elevated home decor items one wouldn’t necessarily purchase for themself. Aerin’s match striker or Baccarat crystal objects fall into this category.
