THE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2020

[bigletter]2020 hasn’t been the easiest year for us all, which is even more reason to keep the holiday spirits up and celebrate the season in the safest and most meaningful way possible! I know gifts aren’t everything, but they will certainly add joy to an otherwise overwhelming, uncertain and stressful year. My gift giving advice has always been the same, the thought counts most, words are better and personalized items feel more special. But when in doubt I am here to help![/bigletter]

This year’s gift guide was inspired by all the things I’m lusting over this season, all things #GrandMillennial, especially the new Mark D. Sikes book and that jaw dropping pearl encrusted bag! I will admit, I haven’t caught on to the needlepoint trend yet but I am in favor of anything honoring the notorious RBG! The Holiday will always be a seasonal staple in my house, year round classic if we are being honest, and so of course the idea of taking over Rosehill Cottage is high on my bucket list, metaphorically and quite literally. I will be attempting to make “Christmas Fettuccine” as referenced in the movie and when googled appears to actually be a real thing, so I added some fresh pasta delivery to my list of course, in addition to some cozy self-love essentials like the most snuggle worthy cashmere set and decadent chocolate truffles!

A champs obsessed edit needs no explanation, but I must say even I was remised to learn of this wicker champagne picnic basket that can be monogrammed for any bubble addict like myself. The beverage tub is actually what we used on our wedding shot & champs cart and I can’t wait to use it again once gatherings become safe again! And seeing as there will most likely be no snowy mountain escapes in my near future I am fully indulging in the aprés action from afar this winter, lusting over colorful graphic sweaters, Swiss fondue and warm drinks spiked with bailey’s from the comfort of my Los Angeles home. I consider this season an opportunity to stack up on goods for the next, even if it ends up being the year 2023!

But to honor some of the good from 2020 I included some of my favorite items exclusively from black creators and of course, gifts for the pups who truly made this year worth it all! Enjoy!
