Little Luxuries Gift Guide
A list of intentional indulgences. This gift guide covers thoughtful presents that are especially wonderful to receive since they typically aren’t the kinds of things one prioritizes buying for themselves—like artisanal olive oils and fancy soaps or lotions.
So spoil your loved ones this season with these little luxuries.
xx, Annalise
Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Everyone uses olive oil, but chances are your loved one doesn't buy the crème de la crème on a regular basis. this version is as gorgeous as it is delicious.
The Brush No. 002 — As a long-time lover of Crown Affair brushes, I can confirm they are worth the investment.
The Silk Pillowcase — Satin can never do what silk does. This pillowcase is made from 100% natural fibers and is better for both hair and skin, making it an ideal gift for the beauty lover in your life.
Pulcina Espresso 3-Cup — Sculptural. artful. timeless. If you have a loved one who appreciates good coffee and good design, this moka pot sits at the intersection of those two things. and honestly—anything from Alessi is a worthwhile investment.
Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash — My favorite soap on the planet! It's gently exfoliating, smells delicious, and turns simple handwashing into an elevated ritual.
The Signature Scent Hair Fragrance — Yes, a hair fragrance. Crown Affair turned their uplifting signature scent with notes of sparkling yuzu, lemongrass, and Italian bergamot into a clean and gentle formula specifically for hair.
Luminous Body Lotion Duo — Infused with blue tansy oil, this lotion is silky and deeply hydrating. This duo is ideal for anyone on-the-go, so they can have a bottle at home and a smaller one for away.
Prinsesstårta Candle — No one does candles like Flamingo Estate. With unique and elevated scents inspired by life's little luxuries—time in the garden, fresh herbs, a celebratory treat—there's a scent for everyone.
Spiral Coasters — For the interiors-obsessed homebody, opt for upgrading everyday items like coasters with a beautifully crafted version. I love the spiral detail of these from Sophie Lou Jacobsen made in collaboration with Isabelle Jusseaume.
California Native Mountain Wildflower Honey — I was gifted this honey by a friend, and it was what opened my mind up to the idea for this gift guide. This honey is decadent, useful, and worth savoring, making it such an incredible gift.
Reverence Aromatique Hand Balm — The twin fragrance to my favorite soap, this deeply hydrating hand balm is beautiful and practical. And bonus points for the chic metal tube.
Pandoro Gift Box Cashmere Socks — The pinnacle of luxury? Comme Si cashmere socks. They're the product of incredible craftsmanship and design, and their limited edition holiday packaging inspired by Italian panettone is the cherry on top.
Feather Detail Pajama Set — The most extra of anything on this gift guide! But then again, who can resist the chic sight of a pajama set with ostrich feathers?
Nice Stems Ice Cream Coupe Set — Ice cream never looked chicer than when served in these dessert coupes from Lazy Jamie!
