GIFT GUIDE FOR CREATIVE SPIRITS — A Note on Style
Today’s gift guide is for the creative spirits who prefer to make a bold statement. They love color, art, and the unusual, and are happily content to venture off from the norm. They’re drawn to craftsmanship, unique provenance, and pieces with a story behind them. Their style is personal, never predictable, and always evolving.
For someone who loves saturated color and bold graphic patterns, these wool blankets are exceptional. Made in Finland, the Punos blanket is decorated with abstract vertical and horizontal stripes to create a weave-like motif (more colors and on sale). The Schoolhouse x Pendleton® collaboration produced this striking blanket…comes in two other colors. The fluffy handmade Mysig Throw is a luxurious addition to the bed, sofa or tossed over a chair for a singular pop of color (available in seven other colors).
For the friend who likes to try the latest in skincare, consider the InstaFacial Collection from Dr. Diamond’s Metacine as an introduction. The Holiday Gift Sets (with complimentary gift wrapping) a splurge but would be undoubtedly appreciated, especially to anyone who is already a fan of the brand. I personally LOVE the InstaFacial Plasma and Bioactive Moisturizer and use them with the the Coleman Compound. It has a cult following for a good reason. I’ve been using it for a few months and can see what all the fuss is about. Brown spots are finally fading away.
Not all sleep masks are alike and I’ve tried them all. Don’t waste time with average sleep masks and gift the best of the best with a padded silk Drowsy mask – your creative friend wants one in a fabulous color. It’s a game changer for assisting with sleep on flights completely blocking out light while the wide band keeps ear plugs in place. Hair accessories are having a moment (courtesy of The Row) with artistic combs and sculptural clips. The silver French Hair Pin turns an everyday essential into an object of beauty. Same goes for this vanity-worthy lacquered hair brush.
For the person who displays their creative spirit via their wardrobe. They gravitate towards bold colors and aren’t afraid to make a statement. If wearing a recognizable designer bag, it’s going to be in an exclusive color or fabrication – Bottega Veneta Andiamo in blue shearling or Toteme T-Lock in red patent leather. Their taste in jewelry is playful, unexpected and matches their personality – be it a python inspired bracelet, a topaz and rose gold ring, or a simple stone pendant on cord.
