Stocking Stuffers
I save this to wash my sheets in. The scent is what dreams are made of. —Kelsey Larkin, Studio Manager
A cozy upgrade to the standard, these colorful socks would feel so decadent. —Meghan Jay, COO/Creative Director
I can never get enough unique, minimal gold jewelry. —Amy Clounie, Architectural Designer
This stuff is magic on dry winter lips. —Johanna Beach, Associate Designer
Splurge Holiday Gifts
I’m a sucker for coats and blazers, as well as menswear-inspired clothing. This stunning dress coat coat would look great dressed up or paired with jeans and a sweater. (I kind of love the matching hat, too.) —Meghan
Smithey Ironware Co. Cast Iron Skillet
If you have a cook in your life, I can’t recommend Smithey’s enough. They are a dream to cook with (and look at), made of polished cast iron. —Kelsey
Danny Meisinger Pottery Workshop
Danny is an amazing potter I follow, and it would be a dream to go to one of his in-person workshops to learn from the best! —Amy
The Ark Elements Dinner Plates
This is China for the millennial. These plates are so beautiful for hosting and special occasions. —Johanna

After much encouragement from my mom and sister, I’m finally reading this book. It will change how you think about the events you attend and host this holiday season. —Johanna
This captures the extraordinary women from the upper echelons of high society, the arts, fashion and Hollywood in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. —Kelsey
Holiday Gifts We’d Love to Receive
How dreamy is it to be covered in a pattern? I would love to have my coffee in my Block Shop robe every morning. —Kelsey
I unabashedly want this for the look and for styling purposes by my range. (I do not cook!) —Johanna
I ran across this cutie and thought it was so charming. My family is of German descent, so it would be fun to incorporate a modern version of their decor in my home. —Amy
Berlinger Turquoise Huggie Earrings
