HAPPY HOLIDAYS
I’m always so inspired this time of year to share a few holiday gift guides with you, my dearest readers. Mostly, these yearly guides are a very good excuse for me to flex my creative muscles and just have fun creating something outside my blog or social media. But I also love scouring the internet for unique finds to shop or just inspire you. I know that this time of year can become overwhelming... for many reasons. I hope to offer a refreshing escape and a quieter approach to sharing beautiful things worth noting so you can enjoy a little break from all the noise. This yea r’s holiday gift guide was certainly a labor of love - a digital publication, thoughtfully designed and heavily curated. Plus, I’ve added in a few other frivolous pages to get you in the spirit should you need a little joy. Whether you need gifts for your loved ones, you’re adding to your own personal wishlist, or you’re just here to browse, I hope you enjoy the experience of flipping through!
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season, Natalie

Tastemaker’s take
thoughtful, practical, and fabulous gifting

Vintage Illustration from Claude Riviere
KRISTIN HOCKMAN @KRISTINELLENHOCKMAN
Kristin loves and recommends a fabulous monogrammed lip balm from Officine Universelle Buly for a personalized touch. “I always think monogrammed gifts are very thoughtful and this balm is incredibly chic and makes for a great stocking stuffer.”
SHANNON CLAIRE @SHANNONCLAIRE
Shannon loves gifting a thrifted basket with a set of vintage cocktail glasses, embroidered French linens, and a fun bottle of liqueur, apéritif, or non-alcoholic beverage tucked inside... “something they wouldn’t buy often or have on their bar. Tie it up with a velvet ribbon and you have a customized and collected gift that everyone is sure to love!”
très chic!
LIZ DAMRICH @LIZ_DAMRICH
Liz has been gifting a refined and useful gift - this unique Trask Toothbrush... “specifically in the tortoise and chrome finish. It’s a completely practical gift but the design is quite stunning. For only $24 it feels thoughtful and elevated for anyone in your life.”
MOLLY GILBANE @MOLLYADAMSONGILBAN
Molly recommends this beautifully woven rattan tray with scalloped detailing to add a lovely touch to any room or for every day use. “Perfect for serving cocktails on the porch or to display favorite books on a coffee table. A work of art!”

EMILY SCHOEN @EMILY.A.SCHOEN
Emily is a big fan of Flamingo Estate’s thoughtfully made products. This candle set makes the perfect gift, already wrapped to perfection! “I’m obsessed with the products and everything is always packaged so beautifully!”
candle sets for the win
MCKENZIE DOVE @MCKENZIEDOVE
McKenzie loves to gift a candle with pretty matches, plus a little candle care kit for a thoughtful addition! Or you can get creative at home... “I make herbal simple syrup in a beautiful bottle with a water color cocktail recipe on the tag every year.”
MEGAN KARP @MEGANLKARP
HEATHER BIEN @HMB I EN
Megan’s go-to gift is this ele with small exfoliants... such a lu for any home. “To make a moment feel special. Perfect fo on your list!”
Heather’s years of small space living have taught her to be selective, so when gift giving she opts for gifts that are “consumable or perfectly practical, but always with a special might-not- buy-it-yourself touch.” She recommends a pair of vintage mugs with a bag of regional coffee. Or perhaps a bottle of olive oil with a glass decanter. For those local, Heather personally loves Hill's Kitchen for gifts! “They always have the most elevated kitchen accessories, and who doesn't need beautiful olive oil and a pretty glass decanter?”
fresh addition!

SARAH HORTON @SARAHCHAPPELLHORTON
Sarah suggests keeping it classic and going with something everyone should have on hand for use. “Personalized totes! Like this LL bean bag with something funny on it or a name. They’re under $100 and very personal.” Certainly a gift you can have fun with.
JESSIE TATE @CIEN.INTERIORS
Jessie recommends scouting a pair of vintage silver candlestick holders and pairing them with candles, like these dramatic tapers from Gohar already tied with a lovely lace and satin bow. “This little selection is thoughtful and charming. A lasting gesture, perfect for bringing a warm glow and joy, time and time again.”
vated hand wash uxurious addition simple everyday or literally anyone
MOLLY SOLICH @MOLLYSOLICHSTUDIO
Molly opts for a fresh wreath as a bright and aromatic touch anyone is sure to appreciate. “This is the wreath I sent relatives and friends last season. It smells amazing and is a lovely addition to your front door or for hanging on a living room window with a bow.”
