We are over the moon – our friend Deb, who we adore, gave us her Holiday Gift Guide (slash personal wishlist)!
Deb has her own blog @currentlydk (also on @shopltk). She is a New Yorker that loves beauty, fashion, NYC (obvi), wellness, everyday luxuries, elevated basics, vintage, cool things. We always swoon over her posts – she seriously has the best taste.
She also happens to be the BEST gift giver – so much so that we have encouraged her to make it a business. So, go give Deb a follow on Instagram and soak up this gift guide. We hope you love it as much as we do.
Sleepy Jones Marina PJ Set
Deb: My gift to my Mom, and I’m in love! The sophisticated camel with red piping screams night chic.
Alex Mill Colorblock Cardigan
Deb: An instant happiness-inducing sweater.
Alex Mill Binky Cardigan
Alex Mill | Nordy (a few sizes left)
Deb: I call this the Chewbacca sweater for obvious reasons but really would wear this with everything.
Rachel: OK, I ordered this one. I think I’d reach for this a ton, and it’d be so cute with denim and our favorite lug boots. I’d wear buttoned up like a regular sweater or over a white tee.
Anything from the Mother x Carolyn Murphy Collab
(Click on above photos to shop)
The entire Mother x Carolyn Murphy collab is seriously cool. The pieces linked above are the ones Deb is coveting most.
“Carolyn Murphy’s capsule with Mother is an ode to Americana, using upcycled materials – such as vintage bandanas, quilts and army jackets sourced from local rag houses – to reimagine the classics. Through this capsule, $50,000 will go to the Sierra Club to help support its work on the 30×30 initiative.”
Tammy: Okay no surprise that I’m a HUGE Mother fan. These pieces are just cool but I also love the story behind it. I think I need to order this amazing graphic tee in red!
Suzie Kondi Velour Tracksuit
You guys, we are dying over these tracksuits. They come in a terry version (summer) and this gorgeous velour fabric (for the cooler months) and are available in a ton of colors (shown above). There are also a few different options for tops and style of pants. This is the ultimate luxe gift.
Deb: I have a Suzi Kondi terry tracksuit but I love this cold weather version. ANY COLOR. I’d choose the puff sleeve top and these pants.
Tammy: I’d never heard of this brand before, but oh gosh, so dang pretty! I think this top in plum would make the perfect holiday top, dressed up or down! I’ll definitely be checking this brand out in the Spring, too!
Dieux Skin Forever Eye Mask
“The last eye mask you’ll ever need. Why? It lasts well beyond one use. We all deserve deliverance from the plight of discarding sheet masks after every use. These masks allow for you to treat yourself daily without accumulating unnecessary waste. Helping you get more out of your products, the Forever Eye Mask is a reusable eye patch that holds gels, serums and creams close to the skin for maximum absorption. These masks encourage products to fully sink in, leaving skin prepped, hydrated and looking heavenly.”
Deb: I use this eye mask with my current eye cream and it’s a noticeable difference.
Rachel: Ok, this one is finding its way into my stocking for sure. I’m also gifting a few of these.
GOOP GENES Balm trio
It’s hard to resist a limited edition. These would make great gifts and a fabulous stocking stuffer too!
Tammy: Oh boy, I am a self-professed lip balm junkie…I usually have about 78 stashed in every drawer, nightstand, bag, car, you get the picture.
Sangre De Fruta Botanical Body Duo
Sangre De Fruta Botanical Body Duo
This body wash and cream duo is made of sustainably sourced botanicals all handcrafted in small batches that create a sensory experience. And it’s great for Winter skin – win! The reviews are glowing, and it always feels good to support a smaller business.
Bare Your Hands
Gift Set | Pedicure Set | For the Guys
Rachel: I bought this a few months back based on Deb’s recommendation, and attest – it’s so good! The best at home manicure that leaves your nails so shiny (sans polish) like you just left the nail salon. The packaging is also exquisite. The gift set (pictured above) is my top pick. There is also a pedicure set, mani-pedi set and yay! a limited edition set for the guys.
Deb: This is one of my favorite things to gift – it’s perfect.
Cuyana Leather AirPod Case
Such a cute leather AirPod case that comes in a range of colors. Deb says she’s obviously adding her initials.
Diptyque Car Diffuser
Deb: I would never buy this for myself but would be over the moon to get or give, which makes it such a cool present.
St. Rose Juliet in White Eau de Parfum
Deb: I took a whiff and have been thinking about it ever since! Super clean and artisanal.
Product Description – An irresistibly addictive composition of sweet florals and spiced woods create an unforgettable fragrant obsession. Top notes: white tea, pepper, tangerine, Heart notes: samba jasmine, rose, bergamot, Base notes: sandalwood, amberette
Baggu
Deb: These make a solid gift on their own but using like gift wrap just makes it incredible. This year I ordered a bunch in the Calico Block and Madras Metallic.
Rachel: These reusable bags come in different sizes and tons of patterns (+there are even wine bags). I’m obsessed with the idea of using these as gift wrap.
Tammy: Okay I’m ordering for my stocking. I mostly online shop these days, but when I return in-person, I rarely have a bag to carry it in. I’m getting one to use as my designated shopping bag. LOVE.
That’s A Wrap
As you can see, Deb is the Queen of gift gifting. We hope you guys love her picks as much as we do. And be sure and give her a follow on Instagram…you won’t regret it!
