The holidays are perfect for quality family time. As I’ve gotten older, family has taken on a whole new meaning. I’ve been welcomed into new families while also welcoming new additions into mine. It’s not the same as shopping for people I’ve known for my whole life, but that doesn’t mean I don’t share the same love for them.
The holidays are the best time for me to show my love and appreciation for the people in my family. When I’m building my shopping list, I try to make it personal to each individual, really thinking about their hobbies and interests so even the pickiest and toughest ones to shop for are happy with something I bring in.
For those of you who are extending your family unit to include in-laws or other new additions, this is the perfect time to welcome them with open arms and tokens of appreciation. We’ve curated this gift guide with some of our favorite presents to give this season.

Many of the father figures in my life have a deep love for the world. Whether it's from traveling or simply just staring at a map and seeing how vast it is. Displates offer a unique twist on the traditional poster, printing them on metal plates and using magnets to hang up work.
The Met x Anthropologie Decanter
Many of the men in my life have extensive drink collections and well stocked home bars. I love gifting decanters as a great addition to their display.
After pouring their drinks out of the decanter, they can keep them cool without diluting the flavor by using these stainless steel ice cubes. Perfect for a night cap.
