Here are MY TOP 10 HOLIDAY GIFTS UNDER $100.
1. NEST NEW YORK HOLIDAY 3-WICK CANDLE, $70. — When my friend, Laura Slatkin, started NEST, her idea was to create a superior luxury product at just below the market price. It worked. NEST is the #1 luxury home fragrance in most of its distribution channels. This 3-wick holiday candle is beautifully packaged, smells amazing and is a lot of bang for the buck.
2. PEEPERS CENTER STAGE READING GLASSES, $27. — Every time I wear these reading glasses, I get compliments. “Are they Tom Ford?” I love telling people I bought them for less than $30. I have at least 10 pairs (in black and tortoise) scattered around my house. One of Oprah’s Favorite Things.
3. NESTWELL PLUSH FOOTIE IN SILVERY PEONY, $9.60 — When I went to Paris in October, I decided I wanted to pack some comfy slippers in my suitcase. I came across these at Bed Bath & Beyond and loved them so much, I bought them in bulk.
4. NÉCESSITÉ GRATITUDE CANDLE, $59. — If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember the famous Votivo Red Currant candle in the cardboard box from back in the day. My friend, Erica Reid, decided she wanted to recreate that iconic scent. The Nécessité candle comes in her signature orange vessel and smells even better than the original.
5. JINSOON “PIXIE” NAIL POLISH, $18. — If you get regular manicures, you know that the search for the perfect pale pink polish is never ending. Well, consider your search over. Pixie by JINsoon is the very best pale pink on the market.
6. NESPRESSO AEROCCINO 3 MILK FROTHER IN BLACK, $99. — I know, buying kitchen appliances is neither romantic nor exciting, but let me just say — if you’re a regular coffee drinker, this Nespresso milk frother will change your life. I use this every single day. Frothy, steamed Oatly with Hampton Coffee Company Classic Blend is my morning must.
7. LA DOUBLE J CLOUD PLACEMAT IN RED, Set of 2, $70. — I love round placemats, but good ones are very hard to find. Which is why I’m so thrilled La Double J has joined the round placemat game. If you haven’t checked out the La Double J home line in its entirety, run don’t walk. It’s a whole world of fabulousness.
8. PJ SALVAGE CROC HIDEAWAY KNIT PJ SET, $75. — Again, not the sexiest gift out there, but guess what? My Sabbia Rosa silk pajamas sit in my closet (most of the time). I wear PJ Salvage pajama sets to bed almost every single night. Comfy and — dare I say — chic.
9. LED CORDLESS TABLE LAMP, $49.99 — One night, I was dining with my friend Rosanna Scotto at her family’s restaurant, Fresco by Scotto, when I noticed this bright, cordless lamp on our table. I asked her where she got it and she said, “Amazon.” With so many people WFH these days, trust me when I say, this lamp comes in handy. You charge it like a phone, and it’ll last a whole workday before you need to charge it again. Comes in silver, black, gold and red.
10. BAKING WITH DORIE: SWEET, SALTY & SIMPLE BY DORIE GREENSPAN, $27.99 — Did you catch my interview with my new BFF, Dorie Greenspan? Her new book, Baking with Dorie, is a NYT Bestseller and is on almost every "Favorite Cookbook of 2021" List. Get it and maybe, just maybe you’ll begin to bake like her. While you’re at it, follow Dorie on Instagram. She’s at her home in Paris now — get ready to be inspired… and a little jealous.
