FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

I love to give custom cocktail napkin sets by local New Orleans artist, Amanda Talley, or a simple rosemary topiary. A useful, fragrant, and festive gift.

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

 For this time of year, self care gifts are always welcome. we’re all over fed, under rested, and over served so a real jade roller or a restorative face mask fit perfectly.

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

My niece and nephew go crazy for gifts that were mine as a child. It means so much to me that they can use and love the things that brought me joy. Most recently, they were gifted my entire collection of vintage Hot Wheels. What a thrill!

GIFTS FOR PETS

Personalized, seasonal dog accessories are the way to go. Owners don’t feel obligated to use these gifts all year and it is a fab way to give your special pup a new look for the holidays. I like these mix and match collars and leashes and personalized treats.

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

 I mean nothing says happy holidays I love you so much like jewels but a luxurious set of pajamas could be just the ticket this year. I am eyeing this silk set from Ralph Lauren.

CINDY RINFRET, PRINCIPAL INTERIOR DESIGNER OF RINFRET, LTD

FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

A great scented candle is always a go-to. We love Cire Trudon, and you can pick something seasonal. To jazz it up and make it unique, we pair it with a great set of matches–either an antique silver and crystal match holder, a carved wooden matchbox, or a glass cloche.

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

Lottery scratchers–but if they win big, they have to share!

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

A personalized baby blanket is my favorite gift for new parents. A classic children’s book is always great, too–Winne The Pooh and Eloise at the Plaza are my classic go-to’s.

GIFTS FOR PETS

My daughter recently got me a pet portrait of our dog as a Renaissance oil painting. It was fun and different from a Crown and Paw Pet Portrait. Or a bag of really great treats and a cheeky pet toy–like ‘Dog Perignon‘ or ‘Woof Cliquot‘ for the pet, it’s a great way to make a friend!

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

An experience or trip is always meaningful. You can create a memory together that never goes out of style.

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS

For neighbors–I like to get something they can eat or drink–extra points if it’s homemade! If they have a garden, you can also bring something to plant. I brought my neighbor a tomato plant, and now I keep getting fresh tomatoes from them!

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

Antique dishware–specifically dessert plates. You can mix and match easily.

The Art of Giving Luxury for the Season can be defined in many ways to many people. However, my personal taste is inspired not only by pieces that typically define the world of LUXURY goods, but also heart-felt and meaningful pieces that are creatively curated, assembled or simply found. In my world of perfect scenarios, gift giving would be the assimilation of all the things I love in one place: a mix of priceless pieces and diamonds-in-the-rough discovered in treasure troves; one-of-a-kind discoveries at local antique markets and thrift shops. Nothing defines OLD MONEY better than something representing a singular “nothing-else-like it” find!

FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

For instance, A FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFT can be a vintage flower vase, urn or porcelain pitcher and filling it with evergreens. We a stop the famous French Antique Market at Porte de Clignancourt nearby in Paris that never disappoints.  Another option of giving includes finding a thrifted silver champagne bucket and placing a bottle of Veuve Clicquot wrapped with a satin ribbon around its neck.  This mix of old and new is truly an instant winner.

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

The BEST STOCKING STUFFERS are a tradition in our family. My husband still sees it as the BEST part of Christmas with the most valuable gift to be given in the stocking. My suggestion for the woman who has everything, and no-budget-defined, would be the infamous diamond pendant from Tiffany & Co. Of course, a chic bottle of Classic Le Vernis Chanel in Rouge Brun will do just as well.

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

Giving to Children is the MOST enjoyable of all the Holidays. There is nothing like the light they have in their eyes Christmas morning. Delight them with a Large Playhouse decorated in string lights and FILL it with books, dolls, clothes Set it up as if it is ready for “play” on Christmas morning. Not only is it a fantastic presentation from Santa, but it will soon become a beloved place for them to read, or listen to music as they enjoy the warmth of twinkle lights above.

GIFTS FOR PETS

Pets need the BEST. Why not spoil them with couture? The Valentino Garavani Rockstud Pet Collar is all they need. Full stop.

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

For us is simply time spent together. While in France, dinner at Hotel Coste, Paris is the perfect gift. If it is not possible to get to the City of Lights, then the next best thing is Hotel Costes 1 Double vinyl, Import Stéphane Pompounac. Other than that, a vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Men’s 40mm is sure to win his heart and improve his style.

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS is a tradition in the MINKY Household. We always give our “Nearest and Dearest” potted poinsettias, a handmade candle or strawberry rhubarb jam. Another great find and MOST tasteful gift is a Mixed Evergreen Wreath from Serena & Lily.

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

The absolute TOP of my PERSONAL WISH LIST would be a 1982 Rolls Royce Corniche in black with black interior. Of course this is incredibly hard to find and if one would ever appear Christmas morning, I truly know Santa is real.

FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

A nice cold bottle of bubbly is always a good idea to bring your host for the evening. For a really special event, I like to add some stunning colorful glassware from Estelle Colored Glass! For a personal touch, may I suggest a beautiful small batch hand poured candle in antique vessel ware by Candle Damsel

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

Dear Santa, pretty please fill my stocking with gorgeous vintage baubles from Lady Holiday, whimsical beaded earrings from The Tiny Tassel (especially the Gaillard music notes!) and a repurposed bracelet made with vintage clip on earrings from Chic Maddies

GIFTS FOR PETS

My bunny Bea loves her wooden house for naps, jumping and general chaos.

These personalized food and water dishes from For Pete’s Sake Pottery are so cute for cats & dogs. I would love a smaller bunny version!

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

I love to order my husband’s favorite treats from Italy on Yummy Bazaar as a taste of home. They carry tons of authentic brands that you will find in the grocery stores of Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Japan. This might be a fun way to say “remember when we ate these cookies at our picnic on the bank of the Seine last summer?”

Or for a special gift, may I propose my brand SUITE for a conversation starting coat? Perfect for the bold, colorful lady in your life. There is sure to be a print that will capture their heart!

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS

“DIVINO” is a fan favorite scent diffuser from Wally founded in 1925 in Prato, Italy, a small town outside Florence. I adore the grape scent.

Or how about a charming vintage find from Grand Millennial shop? Let Nicole do the treasure hunting for you while you pour another glass of wine and enjoy the holidays!

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

Anything from Schiaparelli to add to my collection. I visit the Triple Face Bag by Schiaparelli at Bergdorfs at least once a month. It would be a dream gift! I would also like a tongue-in-cheek fake vintage book print from artist Anna Hoyle. Her humor is delightful.

JESSICA KAIN BARTON, J. KATHRYN INTERIORS

FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

I am a bit of a candle snob and love to treat a host with something they might not splurge on for themselves. I love the Trudon candles because you cannot go wrong with any of their scents (although Cire is my personal favorite) and the vessels they come in are classic and accidentally make the perfect companion to your holiday decor.

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

For your antique lovers one of my favorite stocking stuffers is the Curator’s Choice Furniture Polish that I discovered at my dear friend Britt’s pop up shop last year and created by a true modern renaissance woman, Mary Spotswood. You can purchase through Britt’s website here. For anybody who is a bourbon aficionado (like we are in Kentucky) you cannot go wrong with any of the cocktail mixers from Jack Rudy here. For kiddos you cannot go wrong with the mystery Squishmallows which I have found spark joy at any age, I have to admit, they’re pretty darn cute. For tired Mom’s (like myself) I never turn down a silk eye mask for sleep and my favorites are made by SLIP and you can purchase those here.

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

We try to purchase as many high quality wooden toys as possible (although not perfect) and Tender Leaf Toys available through Maisonette is one of our favorite resources. Last year our son got the play kitchen and he loves it – we have added to his kitchen some of the fun “food” and cooking supplies like here, which is a great gift!

GIFTS FOR PETS

I love the custom wicker dog beds with Bowood cushions that Noel Pittman has curated. They’re so pretty there is no embarrassment about leaving them out in the open. In fact, I am a little jealous!

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

My Husband usually requests a clothing staple and this year that is the Barbour Powell Quilt Jacket.

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS

We tend to always give our teachers a visa gift card so they can treat themselves! However, alongside their card I love to purchase a beautiful aged terracotta pot and put a topiary inside with a dainty velvet ribbon around the stem. My favorite terracotta pots come from Campo De’ Fiori and I am currently coveting their Aged Mecate Planter here. If I can’t find a gorgeous local Myrtle Topiary you can order through this online Etsy shop and have shipped to your door. I also adore this olive green velvet ribbon and this gold satin ribbon.

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

I always ask for something I would feel guilty splurging on for myself any given day. It is normally something I can use for hosting or entertaining. I have been wanting one of Christopher Spitzmiller’s Faux Bois Cache Pots for quite some time.

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

I love the idea of putting a special piece of jewelry all the way at the bottom of the stocking, like Dorsey’s Petit Marguerite bracelet.

Also can’t go wrong with a fun pair of Celine sunglasses or some cashmere socks.

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

I think this fireman pedal car is too adorable!

I also love the idea of gifting a fun pair of pajamas to wear on New Years Eve. Nights by Wilder makes the sweetest PJs – the farrow pajamas are a favorite!

GIFTS FOR PETS

Our older golden, Huson, absolutely LOVES the large fleece dog bone from Orvis. It’s pretty comical to see him walking around with this giant fleece bone in his mouth!

Also, I recently discovered this Swiss dog collar that is adorned in these brass embellishments, and I think it’s so chic!

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

A well made classic cashmere sweater – like this one from Ghiaia – is always a welcomed gift.

This pair of sunglasses from Moscot is something my husband would love. They come in so many colors but the blonde color is my favorite.

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS

I have a few go to’s when it comes to this category: a great coffee table book like this Renzo Mongiardino book, a cake from Caroline’s Cakes and a Trudon candle – Odalisque is a favorite scent

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

When it comes to my own wishlist, there are a few items that I’ve been head over heels for lately: This 1950’s murano table mirror, a classic Sophie Bille Brahe pearl necklace, and these blue marbled plates from Get the Gusto
Laura Doyle Headshot

Maybe an Anya Hindmarch vanity case or jewelry case filled with favorites instead of a stocking.

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

I think the Rebecca Gardner Matchbox Building Blocks and Magna Tiles are great gifts for kids

We have vegetable dog toys like pea pods, cauliflower & eggplants!

Pay attention throughout the year to items they love but don’t buy for themselves. Also, a piece of artwork is a great gift. I had our dog Harper painted by Beth Runquist. Or add to a collection they might have.

Panama Notebooks from Smythson of Bond Street

FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

Live life like a romantic comedy with my perfect candle, “Directed by Nora Ephron.” I also love gifting this champagne bottle wrap, embroidered in cigarettes and made in Madeira.

 

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

An Original Duckhead Umbrella is the perfect size, shape, and price point for a stocking stuffer that the recipient will actually use! It’s a classic for a reason, as are gifting scratch-off lottery tickets…

 

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

I don’t have children, so I favor gifting absurd things to my godchildren. An heirloom hairbrush & chocolate cigs from “Midge” feel just right!

 

GIFTS FOR PETS

My regal Standard Poodle, Tippi, loves wearing this Elizabethan collar for photos. She and my grouchy cat, Gwynnie, both dine from personalized food bowls from For Pete’s Sake Pottery, but I think they need the “Dinner & Drinks” set, too.

 

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

I’m single, probably because I’d give my boyfriend something that benefited me, too.
“Honey, don’t you want some Scalamandre wallpaper for the powder bath or a trip for two to Blackberry Farm?”

 

GIFTS FOR NEIGHBORS

I always keep chocolate poodles from Manhattan’s oldest chocolate shop on hand to give to neighbors. If you live on a crowded street, how about gifting your neighbor with a stack of parking violation stickers?

 

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

What can I say? Gifts are my love language. Here are a *few* of the things I’m eyeing…
Nick Mele

NICK MELE, PHOTOGRAPHER

 

FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

I hate to start off with a little shameless self promotion (but I will anyway).  A great coffee table book is always a good gift and I am partial to A Newport Summer from Vendome Press.  It’s my love letter to Newport, RI; a collection of photographs of people, parties, beaches, and homes that paint a picture of summer in my favorite seaside town.

 

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

Pretty much anything from Perpetual Kid.  If your family has a sense of humor, they’ll appreciate these clever (and occasionally slightly offensive) stocking stuffers.

 

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

If you want to spoil your kids this year, Bluejay bikes just came out of a line of e-bikes for kids that are fun and stylish.

 

GIFTS FOR PETS

My wife and I have two rescue dogs (who we love almost as much as our children…and on some days more) and they devour these organic, plant based treats from Lord Jameson.

 

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

For your wife, you can’t go wrong with an Hermès bracelet.  They are classic and collectable.  If it’s your husband you’re looking for (and hopefully my wife is listening), I think these monogrammed Cairo robes from Pioneer Linens are pretty cool.

 

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS

A cool gift for your teachers or neighbors is this grow-anywhere meyer lemon tree from Uncommon Goods.  But realistically our teachers are so underappreciated and underpaid that they would probably just love an Amazon gift card 😉

 

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

We’re redecorating our house right now and I’ve always wanted this screen print by Harland Miller.  I should have bought it 10 years ago.  Don’t make the same mistake with some of my limited edition fine art photography (it’s only fair to bookend with another unabashed plug).

FAVORITE HOSTESS GIFTS

I love to give something that can be used up.  Candles are great.  We love Nest and Cire Trudon the most.

BEST STOCKING STUFFERS

Something you KNOW someone will use.  A gift certificate to the place where they get their car washed.  A year of their favorite champagne.

GIFT IDEAS FOR CHILDREN

I like interactive gifts for kids.  Something I can do with them, like Legos or puzzles.  We don’t have children so this is a way we can interact with the ones near us.

GIFTS FOR PETS

Healthy treats.

GIFTS FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

Something we can do together.  A trip to Italy is on our agenda this year with Ritz Carlton Yachts.

GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND NEIGHBORS

I still think something they can use up is a good one here.  So candles again, or possibly a gift certificate to their favorite spa.

WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PERSONAL WISHLIST?

I’m a sneaker collector so the Nike Jordan 1 Chicago OG high top.

Below is a sampling of the recommendations from our tastemakers, by category… Happy Shopping!
