Lavender & Flax Eye Pillow.
Smells so great and wonderful to relax. Friends love it and so do I!
Nonu Warm and Cozy Rice Bag
I gave this to a tennis friend, its great for any after sports-time. Put in microwave or freezer for a warming/cooling experience.
Shower Steamers
(I call them shower bombs). Fills your shower with a wonderful scent of eucalyptus, mint & rosemary. Great for stocking stuffers.
Kathy's Gifts:
Oaktown Spice Shop
This spice shop sources over 300 of the best-tasting spices from around the globe which are ground and blended in small batches for the boldest flavors. The website also provides a comprehensive catalog of recipes for all spices and blends.
My favorite spice blend is Carlito's Rojito Yucatan and I follow the recipe for Grilled Yucatan Shrimp. It is delicious!
AIANY Around Manhattan Architecture Boat Tourt
Relax on an elegant 1920s style yacht for a three hour tour that circumnavigates the island of Manhattan via the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers. Enjoy expert narration by local, national and international award-winning architects as you explore the architecture, infrastructure, and urban planning of New York City. The tour features the city’s iconic Art Deco spires, historic engineering marvels and highlights the recent transformation of an industrial waterfront to one of booming real estate development. We really enjoyed spending time with friends and learning about New York City from the water. Light bites and drinks can be purchased which made the tour even more pleasant.
The Parcel - Cadence
Last year I recommended the capsule system from Cadence which are travel friendly containers that are magnetic and come in several sizes and colors. I have really enjoyed travelling with all my toiletries in leakproof little pods and now they came out with a wonderful bag to hold your cadence capsules. The Parcel is made of durable, clear recycled soft plastic which also has a magnetic segment so you can connect several Parcels to keep all of your belongings neat and tidy when traveling.
Blabla Kids Handmade Dolls
Blabla Kids makes cuddly, eco-friendly and fair trade hand-made products for children. The dolls are knitted from high quality natural Peruvian fibers which make them incredibly soft and huggable. Their mission is to carefully create friends-for-life soft toys destined to delight, inspire and be loved by thousands of children around the world. I bought Suzette the Fox for my great-niece for her first birthday and she sleeps with her every night.
Tiffany's Gifts:
Winter Beanie with Light
I bought these hats for a friend and myself to use when we go on our weekly walks as the temperature drops and it starts to get dark in early evening.. It also works great when walking my dog at night.
JBL Go Speaker
I have this small speaker for myself, my children and have given them as gifts. The size makes it easy to through in a bag for travel or the beach and the sound is great.
TM Ward
This is my favorite place to purchase coffee for use at home and also for my afternoon cup. They have a variety of different roasts and are very knowledgeable about each type. In addition to coffee, they also carry food items, candy, coffee makers and home goods. I purchased a coffee maker for my son here and he loves it.
Quartet in Chatham
This store has been in Chatham for a quite a while and offers clothes, jewelry, accessories and homegoods. The perfect place to find a gift or pick something up for yourself.
Katie's Gift Ideas:
Grippy Socks
We all need new grippy socks especially when they start to slide off the heels. Love these crew length ones introduced to me by my client, Emma!
Glass Carafe
I love to have water bedside and have made it a habit to drink a full glass right at the start of the day. This beautiful carafe with glass serving as the lid lets you keep water bedside at all times while also looking beautiful on a nightstand.
Miracle Balm
I was gifted this product from a friend this year and it has been a great go to for a quick glow up- as sheer or as deep as you want to be it leaves you glowing and is a great clean beauty option for multiple skin types and tones.
Mongolian Cashmere Scarf
I have a few items from this company and the quality is amazing. Classic, beautiful gift that anyone would love as the weather gets cooler.
Carol's Gift Ideas:
As my travels have picked up, I've been honing the art of smart carry-on packing to stay ready for any adventure at a moment's notice. Along the way, I've also discovered some fantastic stocking stuffers perfect for making long-haul flights more enjoyable.
Cadence Leakproof and Magnetic Travel Containers
Little did I know that this was one of Kathy’s gift ideas for 2023. I am late to the game, but these containers have made my ease of packing toiletries a breeze. Mix and match the capsules in different colors and sized. Grab yourself a parcel to hold all your containers. TSA approved. A worthwhile investment for you or your favorite traveler.
Davek Mini Umbrella
I own a few sizes of the Davek umbrella, but the mini is truly the perfect travel size. Won’t take up too much space in your luggage and can be tucked into a handbag or jacket pocket while sightseeing.
Bite Toothpaste Bits
Tooth paste is considered a liquid by the TSA, who knew? To make space in my quart size liquid bag, I have switched to Bite Toothpaste Bits, which removed a liquid from my packing list.
Odacite California Hydra-Repair Treatment Mist
Hydrate and refresh your face mid-flight with Odacite. Smells great and a must have liquid on my long flights.
Olive and June Hand Care
My favorite product from this set is the cuticle serum, but the hand treatment is a great on the go product to keep your hands and cuticles healthy and moisturized.
Wellow Compression Socks
These compression socks are comfy and stylish. I always wear them when I travel, but they also get lots of use during the week when I am teaching in the studio or after a hard workout at the gym.
