Your source for nourishment, inspiration, and joy

We present our gift guide series, each focused on a different area of life to nurture and celebrate— whether tending to home, discovering ways to “play dirty,” or focusing on self-exploration. Allow these gifts to shift and unlock something new for the recipients: adventure, joy, empowerment, energy, and freedom. 

We invite you to come back each week, explore, and find your flavor of love to share. 

VINTAGE GEMS |

With online shopping reigning supreme, scouring for flea market diamonds in the rough is simply not happening. There’s still ways to get your vintage fix, though; the most incredible upcycled curators on the internet have done the work for you. Some of our favorites include hyperfeminine Lucia Zolea; Roam Vintage for separates with West Coast sensibility; or Display Copy, an emerging bi-annual magazine where everything is shoppable, vintage, and sustainable (some of these sites offer gift cards, too).  

 

 

BEAUTY + DETOX WATER DROPS |

Supercharge your H2O with a duo of functional supplements. Beauty Water Drops include 72 ionic minerals that help hydrate your cells, detoxify more efficiently, and contain essential beauty-building nutrients like silica, zinc, and sulfur, while Detox Water Drops flood pure chlorophyll into your system. This green pigment can help clear your skin, clean up the intestines and fluid buildup, to eliminate bloat. Add both to your water every day for hydration that’s electric.  

 

 

VIRTUAL FACE GYM TRAINING SESSION |

There are 43 muscles in the face, and to achieve razor-sharp cheekbones, a defined jawline, and an overall lifted visage and decolletage, you have to work them out. Enter, Face Gym, the revolutionary in-person and online studio that uses manual and gua sha techniques to tone and sculpt the face. You can purchase a series of Zoom one-on-one personal training sessions to help someone you love release tension, move lymph, and uncover their bone structure. 

 

 

HERETIC PERFUME DISCOVERY KIT |

While nailing someone’s signature scent can seem tricky, help them explore their own olfactory preferences with Heretic’s personalized perfume discovery kit. Douglas Little, the master perfumier behind Sakara’s Manifestation Candle, designs some of the most unexpected and complex scents on the market (with cheeky names like Flower Porn or the CBD-infused Midnight Toker), while maintaining transparency and integrity in the botanicals used. This way, you’re not spritzing unwanted toxins in the air or on your body, but still smell impossibly sexy. 

 

 

SAKARA GIFT OF GLOW |

All we need is 72 hours to make someone a believer in powerful, transformative, and delicious food as medicine. Help kickstart transformation with a three-day signature Sakara meal program, which also comes with a glass jar of award-winning, collagen-protecting Beauty Chocolates. 

 

ETERNITY TURMERIC BODYSUIT |

Without wires or padding, these bodysuits celebrate the natural curvature of the person wearing it. Make tie-dye feel chic beyond 2020 with this slinky one-size-fits-all leotard that feels appropriate on the beach, on-the-go, or relaxed at home. 

 

AYR LE SQUARE SWEATER |

Oversized and comfy for staying homebound, yet elegant enough to be sporting on camera, this best-selling oatmeal turtleneck could become someone’s new favorite sweater. 



 

SUMMER FRIDAY OVERTIME MASK |

Pumpkin, apricot, and vitamin E play nicely together in this hydrating, gently exfoliating mask, designed to help with cell turnover and bring back luminosity.

HEARTBEAT RINGS |

Perhaps the most romantic gift on the list, this revolutionary piece of jewelry captures someone’s real-time heartbeat through a ring on their finger, then sends that rhythm through vibrations to the person who’s wearing a corresponding ring.

JOANNA CZECH FACIAL MASSAGER |

Joanna Czech is Whitney Tingle’s favorite facialist for a reason; her renowned style of shaping and clearing skin, helps anyone give good face. Replicate her prowess at home with this must-have facial sculpting instrument, designed to depuff, promote elasticity, and increase circulation. 

 

 

KLUR ELEMENTS OF COMFORT BODY OIL |

Gift sensual luxury with this body oil capturing a gender-fluid scent arrangement; Neroli orange blossom and Bulgarian rose evoke delicate earth while the avocado and organic hemp seed oils replenish parched skin. 

 

 

BYCHARI DIAMOND NECKLACE |

ByChari’s delicate necklaces are a stunning, gifting win; sprinkle modest diamonds along the collarbone, proclaim your status as “madre”, or share your astrological sign on a diamond-encrusted pendant.

Protect your face and neck from the sun with this wide-brimmed, stylish hat in chocolate brown Panama straw. 

 

 

 

FURTUNA SKIN REPLENISHING BALM |

Furtuna is a skincare brand after our own heart; believing in the infinite wisdom of nature, their high performance skincare harvests botanicals straight from Sicily and creates wild-foraged and organic formulas. One of our favorite products to date is the aquamarine-hued Replenishing Balm, that uses blue-green spirulina and wild hawthorn to repair and brighten fatigued skin. 



 

 

CHARLOTTE STONE PAZ PLATFORMS |

The idea of a weatherproof clog can conjure images of a clunky and unfashionable shoe; these buttery, suede platform booties are the complete opposite, turning heads yet still protecting against the reality of snow, rain, and sleet. 


 

 

ATP SAN GIMIGNANO RASPBERRY FUN SIZE HANDBAG |

When it comes to gift-giving, practicality isn’t always on the menu. That’s the inspiration behind these deliciously supple yet structured “fun-size” handbags, made for only lip gloss and a credit card to fit. 

 

 

 

MERAKI NOMAD SKIN SERUM |

Energetically, psychically, and physically, slough off what no longer serves you with this botanical-infused body scrub. Made with spicy ginger, angelica, and nettle, this intuitive formula came to Meraki’s Adrienne Fisher “in a dream, a sweet whisper from the plants.” 


 

 

STILL HERE CROP JEANS |

We love this sustainable denim line, that takes vintage silhouettes and handpaints embellishments and embroidery so that each pair is unique. We’re partial to the “Flower Vine Childhood” hi-rise pair with custom, embroidered vines all along the back legs. 


 

 

DIEUX FOREVER EYE MASK |

Erase dark circles and the remnants of a late night with these reusable undereye patches, designed to help your most expensive eye creams and serums hold close to the skin for maximum absorption as opposed to rubbing them in directly. 

 

 

 

CEREMONIA SCALP MASAJEADOR |

Hair experts agree that scalp stimulation and TLC is the secret for a nourished, thick, and glossy mane. But few people actually tend to it. Now, newly-launched Ceremonia created a handheld scalp exfoliator to help increase blood flow, prevent product buildup, and reveal healthier hair follicles.
