Jenn
Auskin Pelts: The ultimate addition to any chair, bench, or sofa! I have one on my desk chair at home, and it adds a much needed element of coziness to my workday.
Peppermills: Nothing elevates your kitchen more than chic refillable salt and pepper mills! Can't think of a single person this gift is not perfect for.
Laguiole Cheese Knives - Set of 3: Fell in love with this set the moment it arrived! What's more important than cheese?A must have for lovers of the dinner party.
Libeco Belgian Hand Towels: + Hawkins oven mitts: This year, I'm loving the idea of upgrading the simple things you use every day. It's those little things that make your space feel more purposeful and tied together—and we are worth it!
Shamshiri Coffee Table Book: A true design fav of mine. I love their rich color palettes and how they can make such large scale pieces feel simple and natural in a space.
From the Neighborhood:
Primecut Cardholder from Saint Claude Social Club: I have two of these! One for personal cards and one for work cards. Perfect for convenience, travel, and they fit inside every purse size ever.
Beklina Wiggle Pouch from Freda: This bag needs no explanation. It's Fashion Fresh!
Margaret
Fish Vessel : Wacky and weird, what's not to love?
Sherbet Tumbler : I love the handmade quality of these glasses. They would go perfectly with my collection of hand painted Italian servingware that I found at an estate sale earlier this year.
Decors Barbares Book + Flamingo Estate Candle- Adriatic Muscatel Sage: I always enjoy curling up with a new design book and candle Christmas morning and flipping through the pages. Decors Barbares' fabrics have been a recent favorite of mine in the studio.
Nathalie Summer Floral Pillow: Despite its name, I think this pillow is seasonless. You can't go wrong with a moody floral that is the perfect balance of masculine and feminine.
From the Neighborhood:
Swati Dress Cotton Satin Dress in Black from Lekha: I live in my Keya Slip Dresses, it would only be fitting to get the winter version.
Gorgoneion Peace Earrings from Blue Dream: I own two other pieces from this line, Cleopatra’s Bling. The designs have such strong connections to ancient jewelry, but feel very modern at the same time.
Sarah
Terracotta with Feet and Earrings: I love supporting local artists, and Pearce Williams is one of my favorites. These terracotta pots are so special and instantly elevate your indoor plants. I've been eyeing these especially (hint, hint).
A two for, Les Indiennes Tina Pillow and Nathalie Summer Floral Pillow: A new found guilty pleasure of mine. I never knew pillows could be so good until I started working at the shop. I already have the Nathalie Summer Floral and it's perfection, so I've been trying to find a place for these Les Indiennes Tina pillows, too!
Tuccio Tumblers: I love R+D Labs glassware—it was my first Sunday Shop purchase before I started working here, and now I'm hooked and slowly building my collection. They're Borosilicate glass and can withstand a dishwasher and my children, so they’re perfect for use as a stemless wine glass. The ribs are on the interior of the glass, so they keep condensation on the inside! What can I say? I'm a sucker for beautiful and functional design.
Vintage Turkish Pot: Love me some old pottery. This is large enough to stand alone, but it's great for the large greens that grow in abundance here, too. A low maintenance way to bring some life into your home without the responsibility of caring for a plant.
From the Neighborhood:
Montroi Incense: I'm a scent gal. I love Saint Claude Social Club and I'm obsessed with this incense! Oud is the unofficial scent of my home and everyone always asks what smells so good when they come over.
Jo
Nathalie Floral Pillow: One of the most perfect florals I’ve met in a long time!
Brass and Copper Spice Mills: These only get better with age as they patina. You’ll have these forever and they’ll truly step things up a notch on your countertop.

R+D Luisa Carafe and Tumbler in Sand: R+D Lab’s glassware is truly exceptional and equally beautiful.
Flamingo Estate Olive Oil and Vinegar: I’m obsessed with everything Flamingo Estate; not only is the brand extremely inspiring and creative, their products are outstanding.
Sangre de Fruta Lotion: As a self-proclaimed scent aficionado, no wish list of mine could go without something that smells good :) Sangre de Fruta is also such a wonderful brand, creating beautiful and sustainable products; I love everything in their line.
From the neighborhood:
Atelier Delphine Stand Collar Jumper: Shop Freda never disappoints when it comes to unique, wear-forever pieces from very niche, cool lines. This is a sweater I could wear everyday!
Montroi Incense from Saint Claude Social Club: A fangirl favorite of our entire office. Give me a moody cloud of oud-scented smoke to strike up the vibes.

Bonnard: A beautiful coffee table book full of inspiration for the artist in your life.
Essential Kitchen Bottle in Three Sizes: Every kitchen can benefit from this set of elegant and functional bottles.
Flamingo Estate Candles: I love these candles any time of year, but the warm, green glass and soft fragrances make for an especially cozy holiday evening.

From the Neighborhood:
St James Cheese Company Cheese of the Month: I can truly think of nothing better than being given a monthly cheese membership. Three seasonal cheeses delivered to your door?! Say less.
Lekha Hala Leather Shirt: Always looking to add to my ever-growing Lekha collection. These pieces are intentional, and beautiful. This shirt is a staple, and one that I would wear often.
Lolo
A Kind of Magic: The Kaleidoscopic World of Luke Edward Hall with a check mug: Love this book for an eccentric friend who beats their own drum—Hall’s wild color combos & quirky decorating is such an inspiration. Perfect Sunday morning coffee & read combination!
Cleo Tumblers: A set people rarely splurge on for themselves, these hand-blown glasses are perfect for the best hosts throwing all the parties!

Block Print Muslin Pajamas: Lehka’s super soft muslin sleepwear is incredibly comfortable, and I don’t have to feel guilty about staying in my pajamas all day!
Garland
“Navel” by Augusta Sagnelli: I have this print in my bedroom, and I’m pretty sure I will never get tired of looking at it. Augusta has such an incredible eye for detail that it’s hard to believe this is carved marble; for fans of photography and sculpture, one of her photographs is sure to be a treasured holiday gift.
Cabana Magazine: A design lover's dream, endless inspiration lies within the pages of Cabana Magazine. Their collectible issues are as much of a treat to open as they are to read, and the combination of a custom Tiffany & Co. silk cover and my very favorite neon color of the moment—orange—made taking one of these home a no brainer. Bonus points for looking just as good as it sits on your coffee table long after you’ve finished reading!
White Wine Glasses: I try to add a pair of glasses from La Soufflerie to my cabinet each holiday season, and these berry-colored sippers fit the bill this year! I have been charmed by the shape of these for as long as I can remember, and paired with a bottle of bubbles, they’d make the perfect host gift!

Functional elegance that isn’t too serious, these cuties are perfect for sticking into a stocking last minute.
Vintage Adana Textile: Textile lovers rejoice! The earthy colors and durable weave of this Mid-Century Turkish textile were made to work themselves into my living room. In a perfect world, this would live tossed across the seat of my sofa or draped over a headboard.

All Souls Wine Club Membership: The long awaited return of Patron Saint has made my holiday season all the merrier. A gift I would be delighted to receive (hint, hint), Leslie’s thoughtfully curated wine selections are perfect for your friends that binge-watched the Somm documentaries during Covid, and her accompanying newsletter (with producer notes) is truly a delight to devour before popping the first cork.

Fridays From the Garden: I am obsessed with everything Flamingo Estate and cookbooks in general, so naturally this is at at the top of my list.
