Still on the hunt for thoughtful holiday gifts? Sarah Gee of Sarah Gee Interiors shares a few of her favorite things with us. She uses many herself – which we think is the best kind of endorsement.
In a moment of necessity, I stumbled upon this charming little thing from Stumptown Coffee and it’s completely changed my morning routine! It’s so nice to be able to make a single cup of coffee without the waste of a pod. It tastes better too. Toss in a box of recycled #2 compostable paper cones and a bag of beans and you have a wonderful gift for the coffee lover in your life.
I love this brand and the local shop City W (sister to the original shop City Workshop) on Baker Street carries a selection of their stuff.
A timeless cardigan is hard to find, and this basic is anything but boring. It’s on my list for this year and I’m crossing my fingers it’s under the tree on Christmas morning!
I have very dry skin and I took a chance on this face oil from Oak Essentials after seeing a targeted Instagram ad… I’m so glad I did! It’s got a light scent and it soaks into your skin quickly, leaving it soft and hydrated. I can’t live without it.
I have one of these wristlets from Clare V. and I love how useful it is – the generous loop fits around my wrist and makes finding keys in my black hole bag a snap. It’s available in a perky red this season, which I think is really fun.
How could you not love this simple statement? The cotton is soft and drapes nicely. A simple statement for the Jersey resident in your life.
A weird one, I know… But these coasters from IKEA are my absolute favorite. The cork doesn’t stick to the bottom of your drink like a shiny surface will, and the simple design looks nice in any setting. This is the kind of gift that can be put to work immediately and will be appreciated with every use. The price is pretty fantastic too!
Hand towels sound like an odd, dare I say dull, gift… But every household needs them and when they are this pretty they will make drying your hands a pleasure! I’ve got these in my bathroom and they add so much personality. At this price, why not grab a few for yourself too?
A pretty stash box is always good to have on hand. Put it on your coffee table for your remotes, place one on your entry table for keys and other pocket treasures, or add some visual interest to your living room and pretty up your mantle. You can find them in most retailers but I prefer the personality found in vintage pieces like this one on Chairish.
Art is the piece of the decorating puzzle most of my clients struggle with… But it’s so important. A piece of art makes your home feel unique and it’s my favorite gift to receive. This well-curated collection of original art is well-priced, and most of it is already framed, saving time and money for the lucky recipient. Not sure what to choose? Gift certificates are available!
I discovered these a few years ago and my whole family loves them. You can keep them in the freezer or toss them in the microwave… Hot or cold, they are a great way to soothe sore muscles.
An Experience:
Lunch and shopping in Lambertville, NJ
A gift for both you and the lucky recipient! A day together browsing antiques, sipping a glass of wine over lunch, and strolling over the bridge to New Hope, PA… A great way to spend a day with your mom, your sweetheart, or your best friend.
