Something for the Host : Deux Cranes
Deux Cranes, an artisanal chocolate and confectionery company rooted in the Bay Area, redefines the art of handcrafted treats and turns it into a captivating visual experience. Helmed by French-trained Chocolatier Michiko Marron-Kibbey, their chocolates are a harmonious blend of her Japanese heritage and French culinary finesse. Meticulously marrying premium Valrhona chocolate from France, with Japanese flavors like kinako, goma, and hōjicha, Deux Cranes crafts a stunning array of bars and bonbons that are not only just a treat for the palate but also a feast for the eyes!
Something for the Minimalist: Courant Wireless Chargers
Courant Wireless Chargers elegantly address the issue of unsightly charging cords, providing a sleek and tidy solution for a more visually appealing charging experience! They come in premium materials such as Belgian linen or leather, and seamlessly integrate into various spaces in your home. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these chargers provide a convenient and efficient spot for your phone to recharge quickly
Something for the Fashionista: Naghedi NYC
I discovered Naghedi NYC a few years ago while browsing social media and delving into the brand's narrative and its founder was a delightful surprise. Sara Naghedi, a Persian designer, is dedicated to crafting timeless designs through ethical practices and sustainable materials. The hallmark of Naghedi's creations lies in their handwoven construction using neoprene, which imparts qualities of waterproofing, stain resistance, and lightweight comfort to their signature bags. These bags, a personal favorite of mine, hold a unique charm as each is meticulously handwoven by skilled artisans, producing only one or two bags per day. They are the perfect choice for those who appreciate both style and sustainable craftsmanship!
Something for the Scent Lover: Byredo La Maison - Limited Edition Candle Set
As a Persian-Swede, Byredo has a special place in my heart. Founded in Stockholm in 2006 by Ben Gorman a native Swede born to an Indian mother and Canadian father, with the vision to translate memories and emotions into scents. For the holidays, Byredo has created La Maison Limited Edition Candle Set, with four full-sized candles of their most beloved scents – Bibliothèque, Chai, Tree House, and Symphonique.
The gift set is wrapped in a limited edition packaging, and features graphics by the treasured Swedish illustrator John Bauer. Gnomes and mythical creatures grace the beautiful box and evoke the most enchanting holiday spirit. It truly is the perfect gift for the scent lover in your life who appreciates the artistry of fragrances!
Something for the Art Enthusiast: The Little Mermaid, Illustrated by Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama breathes fresh life into Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" in a stunning collaboration.
Together with Andersen's original text, the iconic Japanese artist forms seamlessly merge with the fairy tale's poetic and unsettling world. Recently crowned the world's most popular artist, Yayoi Kusama continues to leave an indelible mark on the global art scene.
Maybe even pair this stunning book with tickets to her exhibit that is running now through September 2024 at SFMOMA!
Something for the Creatives: Louis Vuitton, Virgil Abloh
Dive into the transformative world of Virgil Abloh, Louis Vuitton's menswear creative director 2018-2021. "Louis Vuitton: Virgil Abloh" is a stunning silk-bound volume capturing eight groundbreaking menswear collections. Through captivating visuals and insightful prose by fashion writer Anders Christian Madsen, it explores Abloh's genius and his narrative with the luxury fashion house. This book pays homage to the cultural icon, celebrating his creativity and relentless drive to shape the future of art and fashion. It serves as an inspiring tribute for creatives in all fields, as well as an elegant piece worthy of display on a coffee table or desk!
