For the person who’s allergic to cold weather
A jaunty balaclava might put an extra spring in their step - how about this beaded one from Mila Textiles or this one with the racing stripe from Matek?
For the outdoorsy cityslicker
For the person who won’t shut the fuck up about tomatoes in August
This exquisite candle.
For the oenophile
A custom-curated case of natural wine from Pocket Pickings
For the person who quit social media
Get them a Holga for offline photography
For the forager
The perfect mushroom-hunting knife
For the belle of the ball
An absolutely massive silk scrunchie
For the person who misses New York
Sign them up for a little extra FOMO with a subscription to New York Magazine. Add in a “daddy’s little meatball” shirt for good luck.
For the person who’s into both jam bands AND fashun
What about a Grateful Dead tie-dye shirt from Online Ceramics?
For the aspiring jetsetter
A travel agent! I’m a fan of the subscription-based model, where you sign up for a year of free travel planning services, which comes with extras like content and travel inspo. Go with Andrew Harper (for more traditional luxury and their monthly undercover review of hotels) or Prior (for more intrepid off-the-beaten-path insider info - the kind of trips you wouldn’t be able to plan on your own, even if you had the time).
For the hypebeast
The Leo Baker Nikes
For the skincare-obsessed
An advent calendar with tiny lotions and potions
For the fancy person you don’t actually know very well
An esoteric coffee table book on a topic they’ve expressed any sort of vague interest in: Gstaad, Marvel, Bauhaus, tarot, Japanese bondage, Pierre Jeanneret in Chandigarh, etc.
For the person who has everything
Do they have their own planet?
