For Her: 

 

Noli Yoga Pants 

There’s nothing like a pair of new yoga pants hugging your sore little butt to get you back in the gym or back on the yoga mat. They are US made, partially recycled, and 5% of their annual proceeds to to charity.

Check out this cool snakeskin print.

 

S’well Water Bottle

S’well makes a great water bottle if I do say so myself. The company is partnered with UNICEF to help deliver clean water to those in need.

I have the 25 oz. bottle in a pale pink crocodile print from their ‘exotic collection’. Bottles come in 9 oz., 17 oz, and 25 oz. and they have 11 different collections to choose from.

Perhaps a sleek and simple titanium one?

Or this alligator print.

Or this teakwood design for that fit hipster in your life.

 

Cozy Slippers

My house has all hardwood floors so I’m seldom caught without some slippers on.

Knit Slippers

I have made the personal choice to only purchase products made without animal products moving forward. However, there are many of you who have not made that decision so these are for you:

Glerups

Hand-crafted wool slippers made in Chile

 

A Planner 

A planner is only a good gift if the recipient is, herself, a planner. Otherwise it may come off as a not-so-subtle reminder that she’s been late for the last three work meetings. Maybe that’s a good thing.

I like the gray geodes print from Erin Condren’s LifePlanner

 

A Barre3 Class Package

Nothing like having a little “me” time in a gorgeous studio to get your healthy routine back after the holidays.

20% Off 10-Class Package until 12/24/2015

 

A Good Book

Book worms unite.

I’m currently reading The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending

The Earth Diet

 

For Him:

A Coffee Mug

Check out your local holiday markets or craft fairs. Often times you’ll find the most unique, handmade ceramic mugs at these joints AND you’ll be supporting local artists.

Or try: “When this cup is empty, it will be time to poop”

 

A Really Sexy Cutting Board

You know, to spice up the usual dinner routine.

Try this.

 

A Minimalist Soy Candle

To add a little cruelty-free sex appeal to any man-cave or office desk.

White Bergamot & Basil

 

Beard Balm

Beards are to me as big butts are to Sir Mix-A-Lot.

Honest Amish Beard Balm

 

A Money Clip

My dad has been using a money clip for the past few years and I must admit that the neat and minimalist approach to cash-carrying is much preferred over that wad of used gift cards and receipts that your dad has been lugging around.

I like this brass one from Kaufmann Mercantile.

 

A Double-Sided Jigger

For the man who fancies a well made drink, consider a double-sided jigger that can be used for both cocktails and coffee drinks.

Check out this sexy japanese one.

 

A Sake Set

A gorgeous sake set is far more than a vehicle into inebriation; it is art. And this Japanese porcelain nesting sake set would be great on display in any home.

Check it out.
