Saffron and Honey

Eat Chic

November 6, 2021

Holiday Gift Guides

It’s been another strange, pandemic year, to put it mildly, and I thought I would do something a little different in terms of the gift guides this year.

Yes, there is still the French Gift Guide we all know and love, but there is also a Take Care Gift Guide, and the Dream Holiday Gift Guide because a) we need it b) it will happen again, eventually.

Take care, friends, and happy gifting! Make someone happy, that’s the greatest gift. 

 

  1. I love a great advent calendar that is both surprising and a good value – the Oh My Cream beauty advent box is both! (165 euro)
  2. A good bottle of wine will see you through the holidays in a lot of ways – I enjoy this Petit Chablis ($22-29)
  3. French Butter is a gift that keeps on giving for the hostess, and you just can’t go wrong with Isigny St Mere ($6)
  4. Treat yourself (or your mom! or your girlfriend!) with the new Caudalie Vinolift body cream ($45)
  5. A modern, artsy, and baby-friendly dish set is a great kids’ gift  (28 euro)
  6. A chic – and timeless – addition to any home from Jonathan Adler, the Jet Set pillow ($102)
  7. Another advent calendar – snap up this Food52 x Maison Boissier collaboration while you can, if you love the French candies! ($99)
  8. A great idea for a humorous stocking stuffer or while elephant gift for a baker: the Baguette pen (6 euro)
  9. When you find yourself yearning for Paris… Assouline’s Paris Chic is on my wish list ($95)

  1. Keeping cozy is a big part of taking care of yourself these days – diffuse light with this colorful pendant light from Schoolhouse ($199)
  2. I am a proud owner of this Evermill countertop spice rack – what a game changer for home cooks everywhere + fresh spice refills! ($199)
  3. Quilts, layers, and blankets (and chocolate) are a magical formula for a Friday night movie ($199)
  4. I am somehow obsessed with the soothing and beautiful nature of this mushroom healing circle print ($159)
  5. Prima bath soaks are a must for tough days and cold days and always (get a Bonus R+R cream with purchase!) ($48)
  6. Cheer up someone/anyone with a little Cypress tree delivery, wrapped in flannel ($79)
  7. A new one from Alo are these therapeutic grade essential oils to soothe the body and mind ($75 for the collection)

  1. Wine bags and/or any reusable totes are a must on any adventure – vintage florals from Baggu ($28)
  2. The wind in my hair and the sand on my toes in this retro dress with a Roman Holiday vibe ($350)
  3. Inspiration is the key takeaway from travel – keep track of yours in this forever chic notebook ($65)
  4. Sleep is a large part of my dream holiday right now – eye mask from Mathilde Cabanas (12 euro)
  5. A sweet tiny star necklace to guide you along the way ($58)
  6. Not sure if fits more under self-care – but I do travel with my own coffee! – Kinto set for two with maple saucers ($40)
  7. Wide brimmed and style sun protection – up to UPF 50 ($87)
  8. Or for a snowy holiday – the genius cashmere bandana from Everlane, also comes in gray ($50)

“There was a time, usually late in August, when summer struck the trees with dazzling power and they were rich with leaves but then became, suddenly one day, strangely still, as if in expectation and at that moment aware. They knew. Everything knew, the beetles, the frogs, the crows solemnly walking across the lawn. The sun was at its zenith and embraced the world, but it was ending, all that one loved was at risk.” ~ James #Salter // #sunset #sunsetphotography #athomeonmaui #mauihawaii #maui
