Friends and the like always consult me around this time for gift ideas and so, this year, here you have it! I am a believer in little luxuries. Gifts don’t have to be grand or uber expensive, but well considered. Personally, I am also interested in the maker and materials behind each product.
Below, I’ve included a little round up of some of my personal favorites…
Send me a message if I can help in any way: Caitlin@citrusandcedars.com
Brass & Light Blue Bowls found at Anyon Atelier — see HERE.
I have a collection of these and think they are so chic and fun. Use for office bits & bobs, matchbook collections or beautiful holiday candies. Alternatively, simply leave empty on a coffee table. They are made by Denmark-based artist Louise Roe Copenhagen, available at Anyon Atelier in San Francisco.
Small Mid-Century French Lamp found via Live Auctioneers — see HERE.
Our little pantry in Vermont that is underway needs a tiny light and I love this Mid-century darling.
Brass Pepper Mill via Cook’s Atelier — see HERE.
What would one NOT lust for on this site! I love gifting “sweet” little kitchen accoutrements from Cook’s Atelier. This brass pepper mill is on my list. Jewelry for your spices!
Rattan Ottoman by Franco Albini via 1st Dibs — see HERE.
Rattan is ALWAYS in. I may have already put the sleigh before the reindeer and purchased one of these for moi, but I love all of the pieces re-produced in the manner of Italian Neo-Rationalist designer Franco Albini.
Cire Trudon “Ernesto” Candle — see HERE.
I’m not a big scented candle person — it reminds me of being in a Victoria’s Secret or Yankee Candle (YUCK!), but Cire Trudon is a sure thing. Ernesto is a recent scent I discovered when a dear client gifted it to me — and my husband LOVES its notes of leather, cigar and tobacco. I always light it before he comes home from work.
Poplin London Silk Nightshirt — see HERE.
I love a good monogrammed nightshirt and silk is always comfy and luxurious. Poplin London is so accommodating with bespoke orders. Their silk colors are so decadent and unusual.
Spalted Salad Bowls via Hudson Grace San Francisco - see HERE.
I am obsessed with these salad bowls. We have them in various sizes at home — the 11” for just meals for two, and the 13” for when we are/(were!!) entertaining. I love that they are made from a fallen tree by a craftsman in Massachusetts. (View Spencer Peterman’s work here). If not for the holidays, put these on your registry!
French stone garden urns — see HERE.
I adore all of Carol’s products she thoughtfully procures for her antiques business, Gray Antiques. Why not dress the garden this winter with some gorgeous 1940s stone urns? Forever pieces!
Gucci Fair Isle Sweater — see HERE.
Consignment is COOL! I love the Real Real! Give a little mohair and wool while recycling some haute fashion!
