Holiday Gift Guide: Men

by Leave a Comment

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re celebrating the holiday with your nearest and dearest with Black Friday deals on the back burner. However, when the men slip into their post-football, post-turkey tryptophan haze, it’s the perfect time to check off your shopping list. I rounded up a few products that Dave endorses, but a bottle of bourbon is always appreciated if none of these strikes your man’s fancy. 

1. Z Gallerie, $20 each // 2. Kaufmann Mercantile, $219 // 3. Gant, $147 // 4. Nike, $70 // 5. Nike, $149 // 6. Kent Wang, $45 // 7. Kiehl’s, $42 // 8. Jack Spade, $10 // 9. Hook + Albert, $25 // 10. 3sixteen, $220 // 11. Smathers & Branson, $65 // 12. Daneson, $5 // 13. Crown & Buckle, $12 // 14. Makr, $11 // 15. Stanley, $75

Holiday Gift Guide: The Culinary Cutie

by Leave a Comment

Sure, Santa may get a lot of credit when Christmas rolls around, but the biggest holiday hero is the one who tirelessly puts the finishing touches on everything from appetizers to dessert—and doesn’t mind one bit. Give the culinary cutie in your life something she truly wants: a secret weapon to up the entertaining ante. I’ve heard fabulous things about those salt and pepper mills…

1. Sucre Sucre, $8 // 2. West Elm, $32 // 3. Le Creuset, $120 // 4. Marimekko, $69 // 5. High Street Market, $22 // 6. JCP, $75 set of four // 7. Mark & Graham, $39 // 8. Williams-Sonoma, $8 // 9. White Whale, $48 // 10. L’econome, $48 // 11. The Kinfolk Table, $35 // 12. Crate & Barrel, $25 each // 13. Grandiflora, $28 set of two

Finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift can be a challenge when something from a large retailer doesn’t seem special enough. I usually plan months ahead and purchase gifts from art fairs and galleries to tuck away for special occasions.

Luckily, the need to stockpile presents is lessened with NOVICA. In association with National Geographic, NOVICA features the work from artisans around the world. The site is expansive, featuring everything from Mexican blown glass to West African jewelry. To make your shopping easier, there’s a curated Mother’s Day section to guide you to the perfect gift for mom. 

Here are my favorites:

  1. Glass Pitcher, $39.49
  2. Porcelain Jar, $124.95
  3. Amethyst Earrings, $57.95
  4. Mirror, $172.95
  5. Stacking Rings, $94.95
  6. Cocktail Ring, $57.95
  7. Beaded Box, $62.95
  8. Glass Bowl, $47.95

NOVICA is giving one reader a $40 gift certificate to put toward an artisan pick of your own. To enter, just scour the site and let me know what you’d love to give (or get!). As always, there are bonus entries for your continued support. Good luck!
