This is my signature woodsy scent, and one of my favorite candles. It feels like a little luxury, making it the perfect gift for a friend.

A great gift for your friend who is up on *all* the latest Instagrammy fashion trends.

My friend Melanie created this beautiful new alcohol-free apertif brand called Ghia. I've gone through 3 bottles of it already — it's a complex mix of flavors for a mocktail where you really won't miss the alcohol. A beautiful gift, worthy of displaying on the bar or in the kitchen!

I am part Korean and grew up in Korea, so I can attest that this cookbook is the real deal. Approachable recipes for home-style Korean cooking. A great gift for the foodie in your life.

If I didn't already have a husband, I'd probably marry the NYT Cooking app. I appreciate the highly curated, oft-edited recipe collections, and the app in general is a joy to use. This would make a fantastic last-minute (or not!) gift for the budding home cook.

Don't we all need some decadent self-care right now? I love the scent and buttery smooth feel of this Indie Lee product — plus, it feels luxe enough to gift on its own.

My friend Kim and her sister Vanessa launched the most badass cooking brand of Asian starters called Omsom. This sampler trio makes an amazing gift because A) the packaging is already on fire, B) the starters themselves taste AH-MAZING and authentic, and C) you're guaranteed some pics of the delicious results from your lucky friend who got this as a gift from you.

I'm obsessed with my Brightland olive oils. Their new mini collection is perfect for gifting because it already comes in the cutest packaging. Easy peasy for your long-distance bestie!

A bright blue baking sheet! How could this NOT cause any smiles and joy for your gift recipient?

Puzzles make the best screen-free activity for slowing down. I'm biased (I started this brand...), but this one is vibrant, beautiful, and perfect for escaping reality for a few hours.

The quality of Olive & June's polishes is top notch. This set of pre-coordinated fall/winter vibey colors is a wonderful stocking stuffer for the put-together friend in your life.

I admit I'm a sucker for personalized embroidery (maybe it's the Southern gal in me?).
