2022 Candle by Anecdote
2022 Candle by Anecdote
We love Anecdote’s talent of cleverly prescribing one-of-a-kind scent profiles to hyper-specific feelings we can all relate to (their best-selling Quarter Life Crisis candle is a team favorite!). Just as their 2021 candle captures the inner peace we were pushed to find in this whirlwind of a year, the fresh, citrusy floral scent of their 2022 candle encapsulates our hopeful optimism for the new year. Whoever receives this as a holiday gift this year can look forward to starting 2022 off on all the right notes – citron and bergamot zest layered atop a base of crisp white cedar, musk, and jasmine.
Bierfilzl Round Felt Coasters by Graf Lantz
Bierfilzl Round Felt Coasters by Graf Lantz
Graf Lantz Coasters are a solid holiday gift because they come in a range of fun, eye-catching colorways (though I’m partial to the bright tones in their Paradise Set!), feature a minimal design, and most importantly – they really work! Merino wool felt is naturally water resistant, and these coasters can absorb as much as 30% of their weight in water without ever feeling wet. Plus, the wool is also soft to the touch which means you don’t have to worry about scuffing up your coffee table. An all-around winner in our books!
Black Obsidian Facial Roller by Alder New York
Black Obsidian Facial Roller by Alder New York
For the skincare junkie or self-care obsessive on your list, this Facial Roller by Alder New York will take their skincare routines to a whole other level. The black obsidian stone feels cooling on the skin and rolling it in upwards motions on your face helps combat puffiness, relieve tension, and promote circulation. A holiday gift we could all use after over-indulging during the holidays! Pro tip: gift it alongside Alder’s Fortifying Face Oil for a glow-boosting holiday bundle.
Limited Edition Bottle Opener by Belle-V
Limited Edition Bottle Opener by Belle-V
This sleek and modern Bottle Opener by Belle-V is the kitchen upgrade we never knew we needed. Not only does this limited-edition opener look the part thanks to its polished stainless-steel construction, but it’s also ergonomically designed to make opening bottles a seamless (and satisfying!) activity. It even comes in a gift-ready box, which means you can spare the extra gift wrap. Party hosts, craft beer enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys kicking back with a cold one will be psyched to have this gadget in their kitchen.
Gilded Peacock Puzzle by Werkshoppe
Gilded Peacock Puzzle by Werkshoppe

Coming in at 1,000 pieces, this Werkshoppe puzzle will engage (and challenge) anyone on your holiday shopping list, and they’ll love having a piece of ready-to-frame artwork when they’re done!
White Lines Notebook + Concept Planner
