gift guide: the lush

Raise your hand if you look forward to your night cap more than dinner. Meeeeeee too. For today's gift guide, I'm proud to include a selection of gifts for the drinker on your list. Enjoy!

1. Love and Victory Decanter Set - One of our favorite wedding gifts, these cheeky decanters are made right in Brooklyn, and are completely customizable. Cheers!

2. Carry On Cocktail Kit - One of my favorite memories from our Honeymoon is ordering celebratory drinks on our flight to Italy. Had I known about these, I would have gotten one for each of us. They're adorable, no? Would make a great gift for any frequent flier. 

3. Vacu Vin Wine Stoppers - A favorite in the Koehler household, these are perfect if only one person wants a glass of wine. I don't recommend using them for more than 3 days, but they do a pretty good job of keeping wine fresh. 

4. Drink More Gin sign - Love the font of this sign, it would be perfect to hang over your bar cart, no? I also love all the vintage ads in this shop

5. IV Doc Gift Certificate - Apparently the best, failproof hangover cure is an IV of saline. Until recently, that was a pipe dream for those of us who burned the proverbial candle at both ends. But, this is New York, so it was only a matter of time, and now you can get your IV delivered to your door, by a nurse, right along with your egg and cheese sammy. I haven't tried it (thankfully haven't needed to) but I imagine it would come in handy after a long flight or a friend's wedding.

6. New York Vintner's Wine Class - I attended a class here as part of a bachelorette party, and I would gladly go back again and again. We had such a blast, tasted delicious wines, and learned a thing or two along the way. Pizza pairings class? Sign. me. up.

Interested in a more personal gift list? I got you :)

gift guide: the tree hugger

Oh haaaay! Thanks for stopping around these parts. You picked the right day, yes you did. Lots of exciting stuff to share, and it's Cyber Monday! If you missed the promotion I'm offering, you can check it out here, and I'll include the purchase info below in this post as well. 

I wanted to start this post-Thanksgiving rush off right with a series of gift guides, which might be my favorite thing ever. I love scouring each collection to see what I like, introduce myself to new companies, etc. No one likes to be pigeon holed (we're getting enough of that these days...), but I find that everyone likes to belong. So, some broad stroke categories this week, and I hope you enjoy checking them out!

Today, a list for the eco-friendly, earth-conscious, cruelty-free loving one on your list! 

1.  Rewined Candles - Quite possibly my favorite candle ever, these beauties are made in recycled wine bottles, and their scents mimic different wines. My absolute favorite is their spiked cider scent, which is perfect for this time of year. 

 

2. Stella McCartney wallet - Stella's pieces have long been a favorite of many New Yorkers (specifically her Fallabella bag), and the best part is that SM uses vegan leather and faux fur across the board for her line. So if you're into designer pieces with a conscience (like me!), her pieces are the way to go. This one is on sale, too!

3. Common Good Products - Buying in bulk has never been easier, and there's something that feels special about a glass bottle, right? I love common good's line, which you can refill locally at shops in your area, and the minimalist packaging is pretty much perfect.

4. Clothes from Reformation - I'm always surprised at how many folks don't know about Reformation's amazingness. This brand makes clothes using surplus fabric - whaaaaaat!? Their line is just about the most beautiful collection of flowy dresses, chic tops, and cheeky tees I've ever seen. Get into it!

5. Omi Gold Rings - You don't have to be getting married to appreciate the beautiful simplicity of these rings. Made right here in NYC, these bands are made from reclaimed gold. Awesome.

If none of the above appeals to your senses...can I interest you in a custom gift list for your sweet?
