Why Not Shop a Highly Edited (Mostly Under $200) Gift Guide

15 Items and I made the luxury picks count.

I know y’all, another gift guide. But gift(s) (guides) are my love language and I’ve been putting these babies out in the world for coming on two decades—I’ve seen the data on what people want. We’re in this capitalist machine now, and I don’t foresee even Aquarius entering Pluto canceling Christmas, so try and have fun with shopping for others and never put yourself in a trying financial position because the calendar says so. The truth is, I don’t like to spend more than $200 on most people I buy for, it adds up quickly and I think you can procure something very thoughtful without going overboard. You can also opt for experiential gifts like a gift card to their Pilates Studio, facialist, or favorite coffee shop. It’s thoughtful without a big lift. There’s also truly knowing your audience. I, for instance, want a light classical Bach record to open on 12/25 because it’s very powerful frequency music. (this one is $33.33 an angel number!) But maybe that’s a ME thing!

To note, I also mainly purchase for women, but let me know in the comments if you’d like a men’s guide. From workout gear to jewelry, and some very specific luxury items, shop 15 pieces that will make this holiday season very merry, very bright, and very chic. You can also shop my black Friday edit here, I’ll be adding to it.

Sophie Lou Jacobsen candle holder

Miu Miu Regard sunglasses (the only sunnies I’ve wanted in a very long time)

Le Prunier Plum Face Oil (this is so delicious, I can’t even explain it)

A smart read: Vanderbilt by Anderson Cooper

Six Dots Design Magazine Rack (for the girl who still loves print!)

Quiet Hours notebook and 20 minute hour glass (this one could be life changing)

ivi hoop earrings (I love the mixed metals, it’s giving Phoebe Céline)

Olive Atelier Onyx jewelry dish (this is such a nice size and can be used so many places)

A Sleeper PJs set she can host in

Jed Johnson Opulent Interiors (he was Warhol’s bf and an outstanding designer)

I was once gifted a Four Seasons bathrobe and I left it in the room and I haven’t been the same since. It’s amazing.

If you have a cooking enthusiast in your life a Material knife is a genius gift.

Maison Ko x Olivia Snow table lighter (this is both useful and chic!)

Cos cashmere sweater (total The Row dupe)

George Jensen French Press (I love French Press coffee and this is SO pretty) Add in some Bacha coffee beans (it’s the coffee shop at The Ritz Paris)

Louise Roe balloon vase (how gorgeous is this? and not pricey)

Violette Fr Lipstick (in a word, impactful)

J.Crew cashmere beanie (we all need this in every color but don’t feel like buying it for ourselves)

Casa Ayllon necklace (a necklace that can change an outfit)

The Row ‘90s Bag (I just love this bag and I still want it and this is a nice entry point for The Row)

Moon Electric Toothbrush (you know there’s an earth sign in your life who will really appreciate this)

Summer Fridays Jetlag mask (for the jet set girlie this is just thoughtful)

Khaite Marfa knee-high boots (these are very special)

Shoreditch Ski Club x Agolde coat (this is an investment but for real shearling this price is amazing and it’s truly a forever piece. I’ve had a vintage fur similar to this for 8 years that remains in regular rotation).

Dorsey Tennis bracelet (just always a winner)

Jumpsport Fitness Trampoline (so good for the lymph system! Tell them to do it every morning for 10 mins)

Comme Si cashmere socks (these just look so good with loafers and are very comfy). Here are very good Freda Salvador loafers while we’re at it.

Happy shopping! Bisous! Why not?!
