Perfect for the Home Cook
Omsom IYKYK Shaker Set
I love Omsom’s meal starters and now they are sharing their seasoning set which includes MSG – breaking down false narratives surrounding MSG. Use it to add umami to your favorite dishes or add a pinch to my favorite dirty gin martini recipe (a tip I learned from one of my favorite Brooklyn restaurants, Bonnie’s).
Rubirosa Cucina Sauce Combo
One of my favorite NY Italian restaurants is now selling their sauces online for all to enjoy! I can’t wait to give this set of marinara, vodka sauce and olive oil this holiday season.
Graza Olive Oil Drizzle & Sizzle Variety Pack
You can’t scroll far on social media without seeing cooks using Graza’s signature green squeeze bottles of olive oil to cook! The squeeze bottles make cooking easy.
Fishwife Tinned Seafood Co.
Tinned fish is huge right now! This classic trio set includes a tin of rainbow smoked trout, smoked albacore tuna and smoked Atlantic salmon! Make into a recipe (I recommend my kimchi tuna salad) or serve as a board with crackers!
Make Your Own Hot Sauce Kit
Get creative and make your own hot sauce to serve on Taco Tuesday, with quesadillas and more.
Perfect for the Hostess
Brightland Mini Artist Series
The small sample bottles of Brightland olive oil come in bottles with artist-designed labels. The series comes with a chili pepper infused oil, oil infused with garlic, oil infused with lemon and oil infused with basil.
NY Food Puzzle
This 465 piece puzzle was created as a love letter to New York’s food industry with a portion of proceeds going to hospitality workers in need.
Minimalist Vase
This minimalist white ceramic vase set automatically pulls together a room with just a few flowers or stems.
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
This NYC based ice cream is my favorite and they ship nationwide! We have a location down the street from our apartment and it takes all my willpower to only get one pint a week (my favorite flavor is brown sugar cookie dough chunk).
Share + Savor
I personally think my cookbook makes a great hostess gift! It’s filled with recipes that are perfect for entertaining on their own or assembled as boards.
Perfect for the Homebody
Metal Hair Clips
These are the only hair clips that hold all my hair up at once plus they’re metal so they are secure. At only $7.99 they’re a great chic stocking stuffer!
Paint Bucket Nail Stickers
A friend gave me this subscription service and I loved it! Because I am always cooking and cleaning I rarely pay to get my nails done but I love the look. These stickers add a fun touch and are easy to remove. They last a surprising amount of time. Buy a monthly subscription or a la carte.
DS&Durga Big Sur After Rain Candle
The Brooklyn-based company started in the founders’ Bushwick apartment. This candle has base notes of eucalyptus and wood with coastal rain and magnolia.
EKG Electric Kettle
While it’s a splurge I love this electric kettle because you can set the exact temperature you want the water heated to. The company began in San Francisco and it’s sleek design allows for kitchen countertop display!
Weighted Blanket
Choose a variety of sizes, colors and weights! Weighted blankets are great for anxiety and improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system.
Perfect for the Traveler
Stress Rehab and Caffeine Facial Mask
When I’m flying I like to use a sheet mask to keep my skin hydrated. Tip: apply it when they dim the lights in the cabin on a plane!
Ouai Travel Set
Ouai pronounced “way” was founded by celebrity hairstylist Jen Adkin and smells amazing. I love taking mini versions of my favorite on the go with me to maintain my routine.
MyCharge Portable Charger
This convenient charger easily plugs into a wall to charge. It also holds a portable charge for products that use both lightning cables and USB-c products.
LuluLemon Align Leggings
Not only are these my favorite leggings for long car rides, plane flights and they have also been so comfortable while I’ve been pregnant! They also have a style with pockets which is great for holding my phone while working in the kitchen!
Hamptons Private Coffee Table Book
Travel visually with a beautiful coffee table book! Assouline prints a beautiful book featuring the Hamptons as well as other editions focusing on Aspen, Mykonos and more. Used editions are great for a more inexpensive option. Leave a note on the inside cover!
Perfect for Pet Parents
Chuckit! Toy
This is one of my dogs favorite toys. It’s great for indoor play and doesn’t squeak like so many of her other favorite toys (great for distracting them while on calls).
Sushi Cat Toys
These catnip filled cat toys are the perfect way to share something that looks like your favorite sushi.
Furbo 360º Pet Camera
