As Eartha Kitt so profoundly sings, “Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that’s not a lot”.
Here are the items I am giving (or very much hoping to receive) this year.
1.
I have studiously avoided owning the Apple watch. Until now. Their collaboration with Hermes is irresistible, and the wrap bracelet version is my next obsession.
2.
Perfect in the kitchen, on the entry hall table, or adorning your bookshelves. There are other colors, but the black takes this from cute to super cool.
3.
For my friends who love to cook. There is a recipe for French 75 jelly in here, for heaven’s sake. And that’s a gift that will keep on giving!
4.
So cute. And manly. Now you can check the guys off your list.
5.
Who needs five golden rings when you can have this Rockstud bracelet from Valentino? And really, it’s such a good neutral it is almost a must-have.
6.
These tea towels are for all of my architecture and design loving friends, or as the perfect hostess gift. They also come in peach or mint.
7.
Going to stay with friends? They will want you to stay longer if you bring them this gorgeous backgammon set from Jonathan Adler. Or maybe just keep it for yourself. No one needs to know.
8.
The perfect stocking stuffer for the traveler. And jumping rope is actually kind of fun.
9.
And after jumping rope, what does everyone need? Why cheese, of course! Murray’s has lots of great options, and it ships in a cute little wooden crate.
10.
For the seriously stylish on your list, I love this iron tray from Les Ottomans. This belongs on their dressing table beside their Chanel jewels and Tom Ford perfumes.
