“It’s the anticipation of Christmas that’s so exciting for me—the music, the joy, the festive meals, the lights! And that feeling you’re about to embark on a cozy time of year with family and friends. More and more, I realize that connection is everything, and there’s nothing better than giving someone you love a really thoughtful holiday gift—big or small—and knowing you nailed it!” xx Gucci
GUCCI'S GIFTS
1. Aimé Auteuil Cashmere Sweater in Stone
“I am obsessive with sweaters and wear them year-round. This classic piece from Aimé London is just the right thickness and cut and made from the softest Italian cashmere—all the makings of a perfect gift. The label also makes great wide-leg corduroy pants that are an excellent treat for yourself! I’m all about supporting small, female-owned brands.”
2. Westman Atelier Lip Suede Matte Lipstick Trio
“I love how these three timeless, individual lipstick shades look against their limited-edition pink and green cases. They make you feel so happy and special when you use them."
3. Heywood Hills Book Subscription
“A few years ago, I bought my husband David a book subscription from Heywood Hill, a wonderful bookshop in London. They have all types of subscriptions, from ‘new fiction’ to ‘children’s books’ to customized curation—and they ship worldwide.”
4. Celtic & Co Teddy Shearling Soft Sole Bootee Slippers
“Always a hit: Cozy shearling slippers that slide on easily. These ones are soft, durable and you can even machine wash them with the company’s Celtic Wool Wash!”
5. Julia B 12 Days of Christmas Napkins
“For me, holiday meals are all about sharing time, a toast and gratitude. A beautiful table setting, candlestick or festive napkin—like this set by Julia B—creates that mood.”
6. 45R White T-Shirts
“This is the perfect tee. I often make a present out of one (or two or three!) for anybody with discerning taste. But be forewarned—they sell out fast so snap them up while you can. I dry clean mine to keep them in the best shape possible.”
7. Westman Atelier Clean Glow Trio Bundle
“Whether you’re 18 or 85, I’ve always believed that just three little steps can help you achieve great skin. This trio of products turns getting ready into an easy, uplifting ritual: it’s as simple as a pop of color on cheeks, a glassy highlight to make skin glow and a touch of contour to bring dimension to the face.”
8. Elle Perahia DK Ring in Gold
“I immediately clicked with jewelry designer Elle Perahia when I wandered into Goop in the Hamptons this summer. Her passion is lab grown diamonds and their growing role in the industry. I’ve been wearing her DK pinky ring and it feels every bit as special as any of my traditionally made statement pieces.”
9. LaRoot Meal Delivery
“For anyone who needs a little pampering, I love that LaRoot delivers delicious handmade organic meals, broths and energizing snacks in glass and bamboo rather than plastic. The Post-Partum Package makes for such a lovely and useful gift for anyone in your life expecting a baby.”
10. Anima Mundi Supplements
“I was introduced to this apothecary brand of organic, wildcrafted and ethically-sourced plant supplements by a very nutrition-savvy friend and have become a total convert. The powders are great in breakfast smoothies, while the Amargo Digestive Bitters and Relax Tonic are excellent at bedtime—perfect for the friend seeking a New Year’s reset!”
11. Rose Uniake Silver Hand-Beaten Tumbler and Book
“Whatever you’re drinking for the holidays, a silver tumbler makes it taste colder and more cheerful. These ones from Rosie Uniake are the gifting dream. Alternately, her Rizzoli coffee table book offers a beautiful snapshot into her world, filled with objects that inspire or please the eye.”
12. Olivia Von Halle Tracksuit
“I’ve worn this tracksuit on an overnight flight and gone straight to a meeting in it. I’ve worn it to lunch with friends in the country. I’m also planning on wearing it to an evening event next week with a more dressed up shoe. It never fails. I have it in navy and am already dreaming about owning it in black!”
