A silky eye mask for maximum beauty sleep…
Quality shut-eye is truly the gift that keeps on giving, which is where this silk eye mask comes in.

A compact e-reader…
For the bookworm whose idea of a night involves a blanket and their favorite novel, a Kindle is a no-brainer. The newest model is thinner and lighter than ever before, making it way easier to stash in purses, carry-on bags, or backpacks. Plus, the glare-free screen looks just like real paper. The weeks-long battery life means they won’t have to worry about it dying mid-chapter.
A luxe candle that smells like vacation…
Nothing transforms a quiet night at home like lighting a luxurious candle. P.F. Candle Co’s Golden Coast smells like a trip to Big Sur with earthy notes of eucalyptus, redwood, and palo santo. Each 100% soy candle comes in the brand’s signature amber votive that instantly elevates any space. It’ll burn for up to 70 hours. Careful, you’ll want to keep one for yourself.
A mug that keeps coffee warm for hours…

The Ember Mug keeps drinks at the perfect temperature for hours, so every sip tastes just as good as the first. The accompanying app even lets them customize exactly how hot they like their coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. It's a splurge, sure, but one they'll appreciate every single morning.
A colorful matcha bowl…
If their kitchen shelves are already overflowing with colorful mugs, bamboo whisks, and ceremonial-grade blends, they’ll adore this handmade matcha bowl.

The viral throw that’s actually worth its endless hype…
These days, you can’t scroll through Instagram without seeing someone cuddled up in a Lola Blanket.

They’re ridiculously soft, slightly weighty, and made for long nights watching Hulu in your pajamas. Plus, they come in dozens of prints and colors, making it easy to find something to match their personality and aesthetic.
Silk pants that won’t get ruined in the wash…
Silk pants are great…until you have to clean them. This holiday, let them skip the trip to the dry cleaner with Quince’s 100% Washable Silk Drawstring Pants. Crafted from machine-washable silk, they deliver all the elegance of a fancy trouser without all the upkeep. The wide, breezy legs and drawstring give them a relaxed look that can easily be dressed up or down. Shop them in five versatile colors. They even come in two inseams.
A bathrobe that feels like a cloud…
Few things feel better than stepping out of the shower and into a plush, spa-worthy bathrobe. That’s why a Hommey bathrobe should be at the top of your gifting list.

Add on the heavenly 100% cotton, longline silhouette, and slightly oversized fit, and there’s really no reason to.
Hotel-worthy sheets they’ll never want to get out of…
Brooklinen continues to make some of the softest, most dreamy sheets we’ve ever slept in, which makes them prime for gifting.
