Gifts For Them
The men, The host, The pup !
Back with another round of gift guides! This time - for the mans, the host, and the most important, the pup. Enjoy! xx
For him; (although I like everything too?!)
(listed from left to right)
- TRANSPARENT Small Speaker - Starting off w/ the coolest gift of all. Obviously a little more $$$ but it doubles as an aesthetically pleasing piece of decor! I’ve heard the sound quality is exceptional and the design is futuristic / edgy.
- DRIES VAN NOTEN Leather Sneakers - Another slightly bougie gift, but the thing with men…they usually don’t buy much often so when they do / should, quality should be no question! These are mature, sophisticated, and can match any denim in his wardrobe.
- LOUISE ROE Stainless Set Cup Set - A masculine yet sleek approach to morning coffee.
- THERABODY Theragun Mini - Every man could use one in his gym bag. The mini size is great as a portable option, and lands at a great gift price point.
- ETSY Photobooth Frame - A little intimate moment that fits right in the old bachelor pad / man cave.
- NOT YOUR STANDARD Hand Soap / Lotion Set - I promise you, this gift will be a hit. Teach them the ways by gifting them a luxe set up like so, they will never look back, lol.
- AIMÉ LEON DORE Dodgers Hat - New Era hats are the way to go, and the ballpark hats by ALD are ‘sick’. For my fellow angelenos, the signature ALD green with the LA Dodgers, chef’s kiss!
- BOSE Ultra Open Earbuds - I can give you an entire essay on why I love these earbuds, but to summarize - the colors, the comfort, the sound quality, the weight. Shall I continue?!
- FELLOW Electric Kettle - Upgrade that man’s kitchen with this ever so practical gift that is universally a necessity!
- NIWAKI Flower Sheers - Some inspiration from Jeremy Allen White perhaps, these Japanese style stem scissors are cherished in my household as they are strong, and the quality is impeccable.
- SAINT LAURENT X LOMOGRAPHY Reloadable Camera - Calling all insta hubbies! This point & shoot film camera (that can be reloaded!) is powered by Lomography technology for a nostalgic black & white, grainy image. Say less!!!
- THROWING DOUBLES Travel Backgammon Board - I add a travel backgammon board to every gift guide. It is an essential amongst my travels, and these gorgeous color variations make them fun to gift.
For the host;
- BGS Fish Clips - These cutie little handmade steel clips are a great ‘topper’ for a gift!
- TEKLA Terry Towel - The Danish it girl brand has developed the softest, coolest looking terry cloth towels, robes, pajamas - all the things. The stripes are a favorite of mine personally, and the options cater to anyone!
- FLAMINGO ESTATE Personalized Tomato XL Candle - I live for a tomato scent in my home, and FE really just has nailed it in candle form. Now, in the XL size that sits pretty on a coffee table, it can be customized for your host with an intimate handwritten label on the front. Make sure to plan in advance to make it in time!
- ASSOULINE La Mamounia Book - Honestly, you cannot go wrong with ANY of the travel books by Assouline (the imagery, the content, stunning!). However, this one feels like a good neutral that could match any home!
- ANASTASIO HOME X TANIA SARIN Wedding Coffee Set - The marble and brass pairing on these espresso cups is show stopping! I couldn’t decide which color option I liked more so here are both - green marble, burgundy marble.
- JENNI KAYNE Bistro Cutlery Set - At first, I thought it would be a little weird to gift silverware, especially a single set. Until I got one. I was able to try a new style, and I use them for cute lunches I make for myself at home. (Use code LILYA10). It also comes as a serving set on this site.
- GOHAR Bottle Apron - Thinking of bring a bottle of wine? Dress it up with this lace bottle apron that can be reused. I’d opt for a bottle of Sistine Spritz and doll it up w/ one!
- ATLAS Brass Pepper Mill - A lovely gift any host would appreciate. The pepper mill adds character to the kitchen with its vintage tone.
- HOLCOMB Dripless Oil Can - This elegant can has an elongated spout for a dripless pour of your favorite olive oil, etc.
- SANTA MARIA NOVELLA Melograno - I’ve seen this in person a few times, and never really understood its use, yet knew I loved the scent. Turns out, the pomegranate shaped terracotta gently releases the ‘melograno’ fragrance into the room. I’d place this in the kitchen to act as a ‘room spray’ and curate a decor moment.
- KASSATEX Wine Bag - Come bearing the wine gifts in this handwoven bag that stores three bottles safely.
- LAZY JAMIE Cheese Knife Set - Another repeat from last year, as it was such a hit. They are interesting, a perfect price point, and stainless steel, SOLD.
For the pup;
- FLAMINGO ESTATE Doggie Box - Just a few fancy dog toys for our fancy furry friends.
- PAGERIE Ox Leash - On the same theme of fancy, this dog leash, and collar while we are at it, is a little less practical (lol) but very chic. I whip out mine when we’re visiting friends or headed to the mall : )
- FOGGY DOG Dog Bed - An aesthetically pleasing dog bed that is adorned with black / tan stripes on the linen slipcover.
- FREN Wanda Collar - This is what my puppy is wearing to Christmas dinner. HBU? (p.s. we love a small women owned business!)
- FURR & CO Travertine Bowl Set - We’re over here elevating the babes, and do they know it!?
- BAREFOOT DREAMS Sweater - If you know the brand, you know how delicious this sweater will be. Comes all the way up to XXXL!
- LIL LUV DOG Dry Shampoo - You read that right. This genius product in fact works, and is used quite often! The travel sachets are always stocked in the car, and the cactus scent is our favorite so far.
- LOLA Dog Blanket - My dog is getting this for Christmas so she can leave mine alone!
- NAKED CASHMERE Sweater - A dog sweater that is actually made of cashmere and keeps the pup nice & toasty. The cable knit sweater fits large dogs perfectly, and comes in a few great neutral colors.
- PUPPI Dog Shampoo - I use this shampoo on my sensitive skin girly and we love it. Another small business that is growing, and has lived up to its word. Highly recommend throwing in that puppy stocking!
- LAMBWOLF Art Toys - Big LW fans here! And when I got the email that there is a Picasso and Dalí inspired toy set, I couldn’t check out any faster. They won’t last more than 5 minutes, but I will be sewing them back together.
And that concludes this years gift guide. Happy Shopping! xx LA
