Spruce up your winter makeup looks with Chanel’s holiday cosmetics collection. Whether you’re doing a full face at home or an eyes-up masked look, you’ll love the collection’s warm, shades and hues of eye shadow, lipstick, blush, and one eye-catching shimmering antique gold nail polish.

Tom Ford’s Ocean Plastic timepiece was made especially for your eco-conscious friend who likes to stay on trend. Made entirely with ocean plastic—yes, we mean everything from the watch itself to the packaging—the watch features a smooth black body with white Superluminova numerals and a black braided strap, which uses recycled plastic to achieve a velvety leather effect.

Baccarat’s “Crystal Clear” collection designed by Virgil Abloh features ample opportunities for winter décor and holiday sips. While it may be too late to receive one of the made-to-order chandeliers or vases sets in time for the holidays, we recommend snagging a few of the ridged glasses (each complete with a lid and a straw) as a stylish vessel for one of our favorite holiday cocktail recipes.

Treat your favorite Ruth Bader Ginsburg fan to an artwork by Lizzie Gill that gives back, too. Entitled One Step At A Time, the flower-filled portrait of the famous justice is available in an edition of just 75 pieces and gives 20% of proceeds directly to the American Civil Liberties Union.

If you’re in search of a vibrant gift to match an exuberant personality, Nancy Gonzalez’s Lexi small linen/snake top-handle bag should be love at first sight. The rectangular body features a petite handle with an optional shoulder strap and comes in blue linen with a section of bright blue and green Elaphe snakeskin down the center.

Part of Yael Sonia’s Fall/Winter 2020 debuts, we’d be excited to find anything from the “Ellipse Collection” wrapped with our name on it. The sculptural, modern shapes feature a minimal ellipse motif applied to a series of bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces. With pairings of yellow gold, white gold, diamonds, and pearls in white and black, our favorite is the two-tiered earrings, each set with three Akoya pearls.

Made in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jemma Wyne’s “Connexion” necklaces are tokens of resilience that can be worn close to the heart. These one-of-a-kind pieces will make a special gift, reminding the wearer of the unique interconnectedness shared across the world during these past months. Each design features a gold ball chain holding a vintage diamond or emerald and will see a portion of proceeds donated to the non-profit Active Minds.

A colorful work by the artist Hueman will liven up any blank wall. Jumpstart the personal gallery of your favorite young collector or add to your own home, choosing from a selection of prints and works on wood—like the artist’s Vineland edition or the acrylic-and-spray paint Knife Study—available online.
STAND WITH BLACK MOMS is a collaborative community bouquet organized by Aimee Gilmore.
The “Stand With Black Moms” print, a collaborative community bouquet organized by artist Aimee Gilmore, is the perfect gift that also gives back. Made in collaboration with contributing artist-mothers Nakeya Brown, Christen Clifford, Sarah Dolan, Katy Donoghue, Chantal Fischzang, Gayle Friedman, Aimee Gilmore, Amy Hughes Braden, Katrina Majkut, Jillian M. Rock, and Anne C. Smith it addresses the inequities of the motherhood economy, and racial disparities that create barriers for Black mothers. Produced by PES Print Studio and sold through Project for Empty Space, proceeds of the print benefit Artist Mother Studio, Bae Culture, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, and Sibyls Shrine.
