My Holiday Gift Guide

Here are a few of my favorite things.

KAWS Jigsaw Puzzle

Designed to celebrate KAWS: Companionship in the Age of Loneliness, KAWS’ 2019–20 career-survey exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, this colorful 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle is fun and challenging.

The Met Museum Membership

Give someone a year of learning and inspiration. Members of the Met receive special access, free admission at the Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Breuer, and the Met Cloisters, invitations to previews and parties, private viewing hours, classes, a discount at the shop, and so much more.

Polaroid Now i‑Type Instant Camera

Polaroid’s new analog instant camera comes with autofocus to help you catch life as you live it in that iconic Polaroid instant film format.

Deliver Joy with Citymeals on Wheels Holiday Cards

A pack of five cards will deliver a full box of nutritious food and special treats to your frail aged neighbors – just in time for the holidays. A vellum insert is included with every card to inform the recipient of your gift in their honor.

Eye Just Blue Light Blocking Screen Protector

Blue light affects our eyes by penetrating the retina and damaging cells, our sleep by suppressing the production of melatonin, and our skin by accelerating fine lines. This screen protector has got your best interests in mind.

The Set by Crown Affair

I recommend this kit for anyone looking to step up their beauty regimen. The Set includes the essential foundation for a healthy hair routine.

The Mover Max

Each tool in the Judy kit, from the KN95 Masks to the hand-crank radio, was picked carefully by experts. The supplies cover 6 categories: warmth, safety, tools, first-aid, food and water.

The Oura Ring

Oura is an expert-vetted personal health tracking device that understands your body through three scores: readiness, sleep, and activity.

Manduka Prolite Yoga Mat

Give the gift of zen with a mid-sized yoga mat that brings unmatched cushioning and comfort to the practice.

Lucky’s Best Truffles

Lucky’s truffles are some of my favorite chocolates out there. I love the creamy Créme Brûlée!

The Carryall Apron

Let the colorful spices fly, there’s nothing you can throw at this apron it can’t handle.

MOCA Mask Collection

MOCA Mask Collection includes Artist-Designed Face Masks by Virgil Abloh, Mark Grotjahn, Alex Israel, Barbara Kruger, Yoko Ono, Catherine Opie, Pipilotti Rist, Hank Willis Thomas, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, plus a MOCA Mask. Each purchase directly supports The Museum of Contemporary Art.

Sleep Code Long PJ Set

Upgrade your at-home style with a supple blend of super-soft modal jersey, which feels cool to the touch and slips over skin effortlessly.

Sarah’s Bag Retail Therapy

Sarah’s Bag is a social enterprise that creates one-of-a-kind luxury handcrafted bags and accessories that empower both the women who make them and the women who wear them. This witty clutch is also versatile as it can be slung on as a shoulder bag using the chain provided.

French Terry Chevron Hoodie

Layer up in a French Terry Chevron Hoodie, featuring Tory Burch’s signature chevron graphic.

Traveler Backgammon Board

This board was designed for travel — it rolls up easily (and beautifully) for transport and then quickly unrolls for play along the way. It is a truly special piece.
