A Thing or Two with Claire and Erica

We’re wrapping up (heh) this year’s gift guides with ideas for siblings, kids, aunts and uncles, colleagues, and the randos in your life you wanna treat extra nice. Have holiday-shopping thoughts of your own you *need* to share? Join our shiny new Geneva and spread that intel!

Sisters!

 

For my sister and me because we both had/are having babies this year, and we are culturally christian literally only for the christmas cheer. Baby's first christmas holiday ornaments that aren't absolutely dreadful. So much cheesy stuff, doesn't have to be baby themed but looking for a cool way to commemorate.

 

Step-sister; 18 and just got engaged. Likes to hunt. We are quite different.

 

My sister who is a palliative care nurse with a broadway and true crime obsession

Brothers!

 

25-year-old brother, aspirational and practicing writer/actor/director, v into self-improvement (Tim Ferriss vibes), not into receiving gifts, would rather just buy what he wants when he wants, the curveball is he did say I could make him some art or buy him some art as apartment decor.

 

Early 20s brothers who still live at home.

 

Sons!

25 year old son who buys the nicer things because they last, but who is also a minimalist.

 

Kids and Teens!

 

5-year-old who bounces off the walls and loves telling stories and recapping movies.

 

4-year-old who loves twirly dresses but mom's aesthetic is minimalist Brooklyn hipster.

 

13year old girl who claims she discovered preppy fashion and also loves hair product

 

Aunts and Uncles!

 

A generous aunt whose language is giving other people gifts, but hard to buy for herself. She's a real estate agent, into some woo-y self-help stuff, and buys anything she needs right away. Have tried gift certificates for experiential things, but she's a busy lady and these often don't get redeemed.

 

Colleagues!

 

Beloved senior colleague retiring: works in a museum, fun dog, rocks a funky necklace. 

 

Coworkers/direct reports - ideally one idea for all. We are remote so a digital gift is ideal. 

 

My boss - owns a company that runs farmer markets. I’ve been with the company since may. He is currently starting a farm (he has been a farmer before). I am honestly not sure if he is a Christmas guy. He doesn't seem jazzed about it, idk. I know he cares enormously about sustainability, our food system, etc. but is also a business man. I have literally zero ideas for him. The additional piece is that we should get him a gift as a group (we are a pretty small team) but should I also get him a sep gift? No, right? Agh. I assume he's in his mid to late 40s. White. He has small kids that I haven't met.

 

Friends!

 

Best friend (36 female) loves wine and who my 5 yo thinks has chosen being an aunt as her career. 

 

Female friend. Preppy/classic style. Likes fancy crafts (i.e., embroidery). Vegan. ~$40

 

One of my best friends who has two boys under 4, is writing a thesis on how policing was formed out of military-imperialist activities, and is a great chef and baker (vegetarian and gluten-free). She did all our friends' wedding hair and makeup (me included) and took us to the Usher residency in Vegas for her 36th birthday. Lastly, and most importantly, her family is very wealthy (and generous - they have taken me on MANY incredible once-in-a-lifetime trips). Lastly, she is a BIG SHOPPER but still hunts for a deal. If you're wondering, I have already given her a custom Katie Kimmel pet vase.

 

Recovering cool girl that doesn't want any more vinyl, just something useless + gorge. 

 

Everyone Else!

Brother's girlfriend who loves to read, has 2 cats, hates clutter, and many food allergies.

 

Gymnastics moms who plan trips, organize fundraisers and figure out carpool.

 

Millennial who loves gardening and just started a high powered public job in the city.
