They are here! I love putting together these gift guides every year, just as much as I love the thrill of finding that perfect gift for everyone. There are gifts for friends, family, hosts, foodies, and French enthusiasts in your life. Each of these items is something I truly love and probably already use – they are definitely tried and tested. Happy holiday shopping, everyone!
Gifts to share and to say thank you this festive season, from near and far:
- This chic wine tote fits 2 bottles so add your (or your host’s) favorites! ($20)
- Send these tropical wonders – pink ginger in my favorite! – for when you can’t be there in person ($59-69 depending on size; use code BLACKFRIDAY for $20 off)
- This mini candle gift set from Otherland is a great deal and a gift full of hygge ($50; 10% off with code KSUSHAS)
- Everyone needs to exhale in the middle and the end of the holiday marathon. These CBD bath gems are key! ($48)
- A vintage wine jug is that unexpected gift for the person who is notoriously difficult to shop for – done! ($48 for medium)
- A luxe stocking stuffer or a thoughtful gift for someone stuck in the kitchen! Everything Jin Soon touches is magic ($45)
- Necessaire Body Essentials – choose your signature scent for this set of sustainable, transparent stylish bodycare ($60; 10% off with code KSUSHAS)
- This is my own set of bistro-style flatware (one of two!) from Sabre – it is timeless in ivory and other finishes ($78)
- Okay, this is “French” terry, but I couldn’t resist the comfort or the price of this sweatshirt ($23 on sale!)
- Cremant du Jura Brut – a wonderful champagne alternative for the discerning wine-drinker this holiday season ($45)
- This is my most favorite mustard from Edmond Fallot (don’t tell the other guys!) & the flavors are all so rich ($39.90)

- A Spanish olive oil pitcher is both a design object and a daily essential in the kitchen ($37.99)
