We’re back with another gift guide! ‘Tis the season after all, and we had so much fun reading—and shopping—the last one, we wanted to get in on it. So without further ado, here’s everything Team PT is gifting and hoping to get this year—from game changing coffee accoutrements to the absolute chicest lighter case we’ve ever seen. Hope you find something you love!

Irene’s picks

Belgian loafers

I’ve been collecting Belgian loafers since my twenties. They mold perfectly to your feet, come in beautiful colors, and can be resoled to last. They are so comfortable, they were the only shoes I packed for the hospital when I was pregnant. Truly one of a kind.”

Mason Pearson brush

My story with this brush began in college, and I only recently replaced my original one. That is the beauty of these handcrafted tools—they are built to last. With a blend of boar and nylon bristles that keep hair healthy and shiny, it is the one luxury essential I never leave home without. I love the jumbo size.

Hinoki cutting boards

We discovered the magic of Hinoki wood during our travels in Japan and recently replaced all the plastic in our own kitchen with it. We fell in love not just with the warm, pink-hued grain, but with the sense of calm it brings to the room.The wood naturally releases a scent known to lower stress and soothe the spirit. I wanted to share this piece of tranquility with you—may it bring a little beauty and peace to your daily rituals.

Autumn Sonata pool towel

We have recently started a sauna routine, and having the perfect towel makes the experience feel incredibly decadent. The Maria pool towel is organic, insanely soft, and the stripes are a chic finishing touch. It is a simple luxury that elevates the entire ritual.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Trio

My love for Westman Atelier runs deep. This Baby Cheeks Trio is a favorite—the colors are wonderful and work double-duty on both cheeks and lips. It is the perfect gift for anyone who needs a fresh, effortless pop of color.

Bon Bon candy

Since Joyce introduced me to these, I’ve been obsessed. Wrapped in a beautiful pink box or bag, these Swedish gummies are my signature gift for any occasion. Whether for a hostess or a quick “thinking of you,” they are a little joy that looks as good as it tastes.

Matt’s picks

Bean cellar

A gamechanger for the coffee lover in your life who values having the freshest beans possible. This high-end option is perfect for those who appreciate aesthetics, but they also offer more budget-friendly polymer options in bulk.

Adjustable kettlebells

I love these! They’re perfect for small spaces and offer great value, as they can replace an entire set of regular kettlebells. The mechanism is simple, and the build is solid.

WHOOP membership

I really enjoy tracking my health stats, and WHOOP has taken my understanding to a whole new level. With WHOOP, I can monitor my sleep, workouts, bloodwork, and more. I also appreciate the ongoing “training dialog” I have with the AI coach on the platform.

Remarkable Paper Pro Move

Aptly named, every iteration of this e-ink notepad has been a trusted companion for me. If you’re someone who prefers taking notes by hand it’s perfect because it’s like having an endless supply of paper and sticky notes, paired with a classic multi-color Bic pen and various highlighters. The reMarkable syncs seamlessly across all your devices, so you’ll always have everything with you, without all the clutter. You can even load and annotate .pdf files, like books, articles, and documents. The reflective display is a refreshing change from other screens, and a subtle backlight lets you read in the dark. Plus, the battery life is exceptional. I carry the new, smaller Paper Pro Move model with me almost everywhere. Now, I’m told I can even search for specific words in my handwritten notes—though your mileage may vary!

Criterion Channel

I seek out arthouse movie theaters and truly value the experience of watching these often less commercial films. Since I have limited time and few convenient top-notch theater options, I was thrilled to discover the Criterion channel. Now, between trips to the theater, I can have the theater experience on my TV, computer, or even on my phone.

Lebkuchen Cookies

Here’s my annual tradition: enjoying and gifting these traditional German holiday cookies. Every year, they introduce new keepsake tins that serve as a functional and attractive reminder throughout the year. Now in its 14th year, Leckerlee is a seasonal baking business that makes authentic Nuremberg-style lebkuchen in small batches, using top-quality ingredients and traditional techniques.

Joyce’s picks

The Big Buddy in lime boa

This is both on my personal wishlist as well as my giving list as it’s both luxurious and practical at the same time. I love that it can function as an everyday bag, an evening clutch, or a bag inside a bag, and the pop color is joyful and fun.

Hermes lip balm

I adore the design of this vessel as much as I love the product itself, it makes me happy just seeing it inside my bag or on my bedside table.

Sandor scalp gua sha

My friend created this scalp massaging gua sha for her haircare brand, and I love the way it feels as an evening ritual, plus it’s a beautiful sculptural object.

Horsehair tassel keychain

I have a few of these and love to attach to my keys, small pouches or as bag charms.

Cashmere bandana

A small cozy bandana to keep in your bag is handy for keeping warm and looking cute, or perhaps adding a little touch of color to an outfit.

Edie Parker lighter case

I am obsessed with these lighter cases, to dress up such a ubiquitous item and turn it into a fancy object.

Kristine, Stephanie, Jayna and Lauren’s (aka Team PT Behind the Scenes) picks

Kristine

The Jack in suede espresso

A true workhorse in my closet. I take it everywhere—from work to dinner to travel—and it fits everything I need without ever feeling overstuffed or too heavy. The suede feels incredibly luxurious, and the rich espresso color is perfect for the fall and winter seasons. It truly makes a wonderful gift for that special person in your life!

The Big Buddy in navy hair

The newest member of the Buddy Family is on my holiday wishlist. It’s extremely roomy and endlessly versatile—working as a crossbody, an organizer, or a clutch. The dark navy haircalf brings a playful, luxurious texture that elevates any look.

Stephanie

The Lily Crossbody in new leopard

My pick for gifting: the Lily in the new leopard print. It’s one of those bags that instantly elevates everything - fun, striking, and still super practical. I’m giving it to my sister because she’s always on the go and needs something chic that keeps up.

The Belted Jane in black heritage leather

And for me? The Belted Jane in black. It feels special—like a bag you won’t see everywhere—and somehow manages to hold everything without being bulky.

Jayna

The Medium Jack in tan heritage leather

Are. You. Kidding. Me?? This baggggg. Perfect shape, perfect size, perfect buttery soft leather that will only look cooler and cooler with use. I’m lucky enough to own a Jack bag in oxblood but ever since his kid brother came out I have been eyeing it endlessly—I definitely have room in my heart (if not closet) for both!

Pegasus bandana scarf

Not a bag! Curveball! I love a bandana and I really love a pegasus. Like, wanted to be one when I was little?? So obviously I need this extremely fun combination of the two, which I will wear around my neck when my look needs some extra love, and around my head when my roots do!

Lauren

The Medium Jack in black heritage leather

This is my favorite bag in our entire assortment. The leather is unbelievably soft & luxurious, and the size is great for days when I am on the go. It holds all of my essentials; I’ve even managed to fit my 13” MacBook!

The Big Buddy in red croco

My pick for gifting is the Big Buddy in Red Croco. It feels festive and chic, perfect for elevating everyday outfits or for holiday parties. It’s small enough for evenings out, large enough for essentials (phone, wallet, keys, and lip gloss) and can be worn as a crossbody and/or clutch. It’s both practical and stylish for whoever receives it.
