Holiday gift guides

I’m excited to share with you my holiday gift guides! We have pulled together recommendations for her, for him and for the home.

These guides consist of products that either Ben, I or both of us love. I wanted to include only products that we can vouch for, and I encourage you to shop for quality over quantity this holiday season. Happy gifting!

  • Soft and affordable leggings

    I’ve talked about these legging on Instagram stories and am still obsessed. They are amazing and such a steal. Very soft, but with enough compression where you need it. Plus they have pockets! Did I mention they are $25?! 

  • The perfect hat

    I own three of these hats and so does Ben. This brand has perfected the fit and ruined all other hats. Bonus points for being a Norwegian brand and offering free world-wide (fast) shipping! I wear a M in these. 

  • Long Sleeve + Shorts Pajama Set

    Long sleeves and shorts is my favorite combo. I have this set in yellow and am thinking of going back for a fall color. It’s so cozy to sleep or lounge around and I have certainly worn the top out of the house before too.

  • Cuyana classic leather tote

    This bag was gifted to me for my birthday and I have carried almost every day since May. The leather is so soft, yet the bag is structured enough to hold its shape. Monogramming optional, but I definitely recommend getting the organizer insert!

  • Chunky hoop earrings 

    An on-trend update on classic gold hoops. Affordable and comfortable to wear – I love these and bought them after seeing them on a friend! 

  • A great dupe crop top 

    Another fantastic dupe for a much more expensive brand. I wear this as a top (not a bra) for working out or running errands with a button-up or cardigan. Super cute with high-waisted leggings!

  • Affordable cashmere beanie

    I recently discovered this brand and have been very impressed with my purchases so far! So far, I’ve ordered a couple gifts and may snag this beanie for myself. 

  • Dapper socks from London

    To say my husband is picky when it comes to clothing is an understatement. He has acquired a collection of these socks approves of both their style and comfort. 

  • Affordable cashmere quarter-zip 

    I haven’t felt this in person yet, but seeing the great reviews and having ordered from this brand before, I clicked this sweater home as a gift.

  • Customizable journal that will last a lifetime 

    A leather journal/notebook with customizable inserts. Only gets better over time. 

  • The perfect hat

    Had to throw in one for the guys too! Ben wears a L.

  • Classic yet modernized briefcase

    Ben owns this in a discontinued color that he carries to the office every day. He loves the functionality of all the compartments and that it fits seamlessly over a carry-on suitcase handle when traveling.

  • Board shorts 

    Love this brand for the look, comfort and focus on sustainability. These are on Ben’s wish-list this year.

  • The softest throw blanket

    I was thrilled when I received this as a Secret Santa gift last year! It’s so soft and matches any décor. 

  • Stoneware espresso cups

    We’ve been espresso fans for a long time, but never had the proper cups. We finally picked some up and feel much more sophisticated now ;)

  • Rustic modern mixing bowl 

    Cooking just got a lot chicer with the addition of this bowl to anyone’s kitchen.

  • Milk frother

    I use this almost every day. 

  • Luxurious hand soap

    We’ve been buying this soap ever since trying it in a friend’s home in London over two years ago. It smells amazing and gently exfoliates your hands. A fantastic gift for anyone’s bathroom or kitchen.

  • Washed linen bathrobe 

    Perfect for throwing on while getting ready or lounging around the house. Plus, the linen adds a pretty organic texture to a bathroom. H&M has great linen products and we have owned several of their sheets. 

  • Brass salt and pepper mills 

    You’ve probably seen these on Instagram. They made for a gorgeous sculptural addition to any kitchen and er super high quality. Anyone would be lucky to receive these as a gift!
