Thoughtful Gifts

for the Holidays

Want to surprise and delight them this year? Go the extra mile with a gift with a thoughtful touch. Give experiences in addition to things, or pair a little luxury with an everyday essential. These ideas are sure to earn you a spot on the “nice” list.  

FOR THE MOVIE BUFF

For cinephiles – and those who love stay-at-home Saturday nights – this cozy, bundled gift is the best thing to find under the tree. Get a supersoft faux fur throw, and choose the color and size that works best for your recipient (tip: go bigger for couples!). Then, add a bag or two of sweet or savory popcorn, and an iTunes gift card so they can pick their flick.

FOR THE MIXOLOGIST

Know their favorite cocktail? Get them everything they need to make it at home. From cocktail shakers and strainers to a handmade recipe card, package it all together alongside the necessary spirits, bitters and spices.

FOR THE EARLY BIRD

Make waking up a little more special with a gift that feels both personal and practical. Grab an alphabet mug to celebrate their moniker, then add a bag of their favorite coffee or tea. Night owls will enjoy this thoughtful gift just as much as the early risers.

FOR THE CHEESE CONNOISSEUR

The go-to hostess gift, a cheeseboard is made super personal with a monogram and an artisanal cheese. Head to your local creamery and get a recommendation or order one from a place that you know is special to them. Go big by including a bottle of complementary wine.

FOR THE GLOBE-TROTTER

No matter how well-traveled, people can always use new luggage to keep them organized on their trips. Opt for a small toiletry case, or go with a whole set – then throw in a pair of train or plane tickets so you can getaway together.
