Bobbi's Holiday Gift Guide 2020

Written by: Bobbi

My favorite gifts to give (and get) this holiday season. You'll find something for everyone on your list...

Crown Affair Holiday Kit

For the hair care obsessive, Crown Affair’s Holiday Kit includes handmade combs, a silk scrunchie and hydrating hair oil tucked inside of a limited-edition pouch. The combs are so pretty, they’ll want to put them on display.

The Holiday Kit, $98

Chef Floyd Cardoz Masala Collection

My good friend, the late Chef Floyd Cardoz, started working on this collection of Masalas in 2019. After his passing, Barkha Cardoz (his wife and partner) helped to make this collaboration with Burlap & Barrel a reality. An essential for any home cook and a beautiful way to honor to a great chef.

*The Collaboration Masala Collection, $34 *

IXV Coffee Reusable Face Mask

I’ve been stocking up on these colorful and creative masks from IXV Coffee, a local coffee shop in Brooklyn. They’re made with reclaimed fabric and include a filter pocket. A must for everyone on your list.

Reusable Face Mask, $25

Madefor Introduction Kit

Give the gift of good habits. Madefor is all about using the “principles of modern neuroscience, psychology and physiology to make your brain and body better.” This intro kit features their 21-day hydration challenge, making it a gift that doubles as a New Year's resolution.

Madefor Intro Kit, $48

Augustinus Bader Tandem Set

Augustinus Bader has become my go-to for deep hydration. This set includes the Rich Cream (it’s changed my skin) and the Body Cream. It’s a luxe gift, but well worth it.

The Tandem Set, $385

EVOLUTION_18 Weekend Essentials

My go-tos for gorgeous skin, shiny hair, and overall glow. This gift set includes Energizing Chocolate (the best protein powder), Beauty Collagen (for hair, skin and nails), Debloat Tea (for when you need to hit reset), and Beauty Probiotics (to nourish your gut).

Bobbi’s Weekend Essentials, $90

Birkenstock Shearling Sandal

I consider these a WFH essential. These shearling-lined Birkenstocks look cool while keeping feet cozy. Gift these instead of slipppers.

Birkenstock Arizona Shearling, $150

Supergoop! Cloud 9 SPF Balm

Everyone needs a good SPF in their life and Supergoop! is my go-to. The new Cloud 9 Balm is great for super dry winter skin. Plus, it’s SPF 40.

Cloud 9 100% Mineral Sun Balm SPF 40, $26

Brightland Mini Essentials

Really good olive oil that looks really good in your kitchen. Get this Mini Essentials set from Brightland for the foodie in your life.

The Mini Essentials, $70

Kule Oy Vey Tote

This tote from Kule really says it all. A good gift for someone who always has their hands full.

OY VEY Tote, $188

The Encyclopedia of New York

For the New Yorkers (and lovers of NYC) on your list, this new “encyclopedia” from the editors of New York Magazine covers everything.

The Encyclopedia of New York, $35

Maharindee Serum

Inspired by Ayurveda, this serum is made with pure CBD oil and a signature blend of Vitabotanicals to give skin a natural glow. It's a good gift for someone looking to balance and brighten skin.

The Change Maker Super Serum, $70

Seemore Meats & Veggies Sausages

I always love gifting food and these sausages are on this year’s list. Founded by fourth-generation butcher Cara Nicoletti, they combine humanely raised meat with fresh veggies.

Seemore Meats & Veggies Variety Pack, $57

Jono Pandolfi Dinnerwear

This clay dinnerwear from Jono Pandolfi makes for a truly beautiful tablescape and makes a great host gift. This tan set is available exclusively at Food52.
