HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
chic shot glasses, candles, TRR picks & random shit <3
I like to think of myself as a good gift giver. I think the key is to pay attention to what the receiver needs/is missing. What they like/love but wouldn’t spend money on themselves or just remembering things someone’s pointed out before. Also nothing beats a “I saw this and thought of you”.
Think elevated necessities/luxuries.
Love the idea of chipping in with your friends/fam for an expensive gift for a special person.
I’ll break this into home, travel, jewelry, TRR picks, gift cards and ofc random stuff. (She’s a long one)
HOME
Blankets- wool with fringe, plain wool in navy
Wine glasses I mentioned last post
Moccamaster- (if you’re reading this hi Santa)
Walter water filter- I’ve mentioned this water filter before. Same system as the Berkey just cuter imo.
Staub dutch oven- obsessed with these. The inside doesn’t scratch like a le creuset and something about the design of the top retains soo much moisture.
Mini kitchen aid- now I don’t have one and don’t really need one but if Santa left one for me I wouldn’t be mad. My bestie whips up the yummiest things in a second and I am always so impressed aka homemade mayo, whipped cream etc.
P.s. after having the our place always pan, I will say it’s nottttt the best. Good value in the sense of how many ways you can use it & if you’re tight on space but when speaking of quality no buenooo.
JANE COOK SHOP
Handyaid jar opener- this will literally open anything.
Autumn Sonata hand towels (available in store)
Coasters (these are great bc they’re washable)
