The Gift Guide

A curated collection of the gifts I’m giving (and secretly wishing for) this Holiday season

Almost in the blink of an eye, Fall is well underway, and it already feels like we’re in full holiday-season mode. Each year I get a little better at planning for gift-giving, and I love pulling together a list of my favorite finds—the ones I’m excited to give and would happily add to my own wishlist.

For this year’s gift guide, I’ve organized everything by theme. Whether you’re shopping for someone special or just looking for a little inspiration—something to make upcoming travels easier, elevate cozy time at home with loved ones, or serve as a thoughtful host gift for the season’s many gatherings—I hope these ideas make your holiday gifting feel a little more joyful.
