The delicate art of gift giving is one of joy and love, but sometimes it also feels like an enigma wrapped in glitter and ribbons. What to get who? What about the person that has it all? How long should you know someone before you give a gift? Maybe there are no rules at all? If you’re looking to tie a ribbon around some gifting inspiration, we have collected some of our favorite gift giving ideas below.

Beautifect Box – In Nude & Rose Gold Hardware

The Beautifect Box is a must have for any beauty lover. The easy-to-use makeup coordinator is a hybrid of a makeup and skincare organizer; a light up mirror that beautifully illuminates your face in different lighting options so you can do your makeup to the intensity that matches the environment that you makeup will be seen in; a filming station due to the ingenious addition of a ledge to place your phone when recording while using the light of the mirror ( no ring light needed ); and so much more. This is truly a gift that keeps on giving. That is probably why Harrod’s in London keeps selling out.

Miriam Quevedo – Sublime Gold Ultra Nourishing Hair Oil

We love Miriam Quevedo’s Sublime Gold hair oil. This is a lovely treat for someone who takes their locks seriously. The anti-aging treatment based on precious oils that instantly revitalizes hair while giving it sublime shine, thanks to Bioactive 24K Gold. Enriched with a potent combination of 10 botanical oils -baobab, raspberry, rose hip, camellia, organic argan, olive and ayurvedic oils- and with UV protection, this golden elixir provides intense nourishment and immediately repairs dry, damaged hair, restoring its original beauty and shine.

Assouline – Patek Philippe: The Impossible Collection

Whether your special someone is an avid reader, avid timepiece collector, or avid coffee table book curator, this is a jaw dropping gift to unwrap this holiday season.

Founded in Geneva in 1839 by Polish refugees Antoine Norbert de Patek and François Czapek, Patek Philippe is the zenith of Swiss fine watchmaking. Their mission was clear: to create the world’s most exquisite timepieces. With a production of fewer than a million watches since 1839, Patek Philippe’s creations are coveted by collectors worldwide. Explore these rare timepieces in Patek Philippe: The Impossible Collection, featuring exclusive photographs from prominent collectors. Now you can join the world of horological excellence.

Assouline: Eden Rock – St. Barths

Of course, a trip to exotic destinations could be more their thing. This is a fun, photographic journey to the iconic Eden Rock Hotel. This luxury hotel traces its origins back to the 1940s when aviator Rémy de Haenen discovered a stunning promontory on Saint-Barthélemy. In 1953, it transformed into the world’s most exclusive bed-and-breakfast, setting the stage for unmatched luxury, gastronomy, and wellness. The resort offers a carefree and fun-filled atmosphere, from the Rémy Bar to the private Rockstar Villa, all curated for an intimate Caribbean experience.

Assouline: Barbie

Would a holiday gift guide for 2023 be remiss not to include something that represents the Barbie fever that ensued over the year? Perhaps. Everyone enjoys a pop culture commentary to remember the year by. Though way before the name of Margot Robbie ever graced all things pink, our girl Barbie was anything and everything she ever wanted to be. The history of the doll that inspired so many imaginations has been beautifully captured in this must have book for collectors.

Assouline: James Bond Destinations

From one fantasy to another – though this is more of a heartthrob fantasy. No one says their name backwards better than Bond, James Bond. His fan club is an enviable fifty/fifty percentage of the women who want him and the men that want to be him. In this cinematic collection the stunning settings of 007’s globetrotting ways are explored through the lens and with ample commentary from the film makers exploring the iconic places that have played a pivotal role in Bond’s jet-setting journeys.

Each chapter offers insider insights and unforgettable scenes, like Ursula Andress emerging from Jamaican waters, Daniel Craig’s high-speed car chase in Rome, and Roger Moore’s epic showdown on a Sugarloaf cable car in Rio. In the early to mid-1960s, when international travel was a rarity, Bond films captivated audiences, igniting dreams of glamorous vacations and solidifying the franchise as a trusted guide to adventure. Barbara Broccoli, daughter of the original Bond producer, recalls how her father aimed to transport people on magical adventures.

As travel became more accessible, the Bond experience evolved to stay ahead. Producers like Michael G. Wilson found new, unseen locations or transformed well-known places into spectacular settings, ensuring each Bond film continued to deliver the thrill of exploration.

Imperia Caviar: Kaluga Hybrid Reserve Caviar

Everyone knows that champagne and caviar hang out at the same parties. There’s just something about those spheres that says celebration. Imperia Caviar is an unexpected treat for any caviar lovers that you have on your ‘Nice List’.

With a buttery and clean opening, firm eating experience and velvety smooth finish, you will want to buy Kaluga Hybrid Reserve caviar to use on everything from egg cups to cauliflower soufflé.  It is also the closest caviar in quality, texture and flavor to Beluga caviar (which is not available in the US).

The even offer lovely gift sets of caviar a mother of pearl spoon, (psst… it’s a must have when serving caviar because caviar will react if it touches a typical stainless-steel spoon, mother of pearl is always the best way to go if you’re in the know), and a handy can opener for just such the occasion.
