#023: Supreme coziness unlocked
Gift guide part 1
This is the image that will set the tone for today’s issue:
We all have that one friend who loves to stay home. And why wouldn’t she? In these conditions???? It’s just better inside! And I am that friend. I’m a summer baby through and through. It’s proven by just how many times I talk about the weather in my newsletters. Also proven by the mere fact that I do not know how to dress in the winter!!!!!! Outfit inspo when it’s freezing out? I’m truly so sorry, Uniqlo heat tech and a puffer are all I know.
BUT, what I can talk about is how to make your life at home the coziest ever. I feel like I’ve hacked the perfect formula for never feeling like you’re missing out by being home. There is power in rest, self-care, WARMTH. That homebody friend of yours will love these items. Or maybe this gift guide is just for yourself.
A cute, vintage-looking space heater
Concentrated heat for sedentary activities at home packaged in a cute, vintage look.
Grippy crew socks for the home & for pilates
Thick, high-quality crew socks that keep your feet warm, can take you to your pilates class and protect you from slipping on your floors. This one is maybe a stocking stuffer, but great nonetheless.
Cinnamon tea that warms you from within
The tea that makes me drink more water by default because of how many cups I drink in a day. The tea that is so naturally spicy and sweet, my entire body physically warms up. The tea that I bring in a thermos with me everywhere because it feels like a warm hug no matter where I am. Did I sell this tea to you, yet?
A great mug while you’re at it
SSENSE’s mug collection is unparalleled and makes the home warm beverage drinking game that much more satisfying.
A wine glass so thin, so chic you’ll want to spend your nights in
I hate to tell you this, but wine is just better in a $60 Zalto glass. These cult-status wine glasses are designed at the specific angles of 24°, 48° and 72°, or, for the commoner, “in accordance to the tilt angles of the Earth,” which supposedly create “cosmic parallels” that make the wine smell and taste better. Indeed, it does.
Really great speakers to set the vibe
I won’t link you to my hi-fi situation because we’re not here to shell out thousands of dollars on speakers-as-a-gift, unless…????? The speakers in bold are no-nonsense speakers that are a crowdpleaser and can travel with you anywhere.
A throw blanket that won’t compete with the aforementioned space heater
95% cotton, 5% cashmere. The perfect formula for comfortable warmth, me thinks.
A thick robe, but in cotton not synthetic plush
Heavyweight cotton, chic stripes, you can’t go wrong with a Tekla bathrobe. Also in so many different colors.
A scrumptious body balm
To keep those ashy legs at bay while home!
An oil works too!
To mindlessly massage your limbs while doing home things.
A holiday-scented candle to remind you what time of year it is
Because no space is complete without the scent of balsam fir and cedar lingering in the air at all times.
