Continuing with our year in review, today focusing on the home and gift category. A number of our bestsellers this year came from this “department.” The list below is a great starting point for future gift-giving opportunities or little upgrades to the home for the year ahead.
Any and all blankets from Chappy Wrap. The perfect weight and texture, and the best patterns. A must-have for your home. (We now have four – one for each of us.)
Hotel Lobby Hamptons candle — all of them smell divine; I really hope they bring back the Hamptons scent for summer. That was our “signature scent” in the warm months of 2024. A great gift to your favorite hostess, or a lovely every inuldgence at your desk.
Target sheets — incredible quality at an amazing price.
The monogram phone case you see in all my selfies.
This pennant was a popular mention on the blog during the back-to-school season. Perfect for first-day pictures and usable year after year.
LOVE these matchboxes for placing around the house near candles. These are also customizable — make great party favors or wonderful to have on hand for gifts.
Perfect luggage tag for the frequent traveler! Such a chic way to identify your belongings at baggage claim.
Another earlier mention on the blog — these hand-painted frame inserts. A special way to spotlight favorite pictures, framed memorabilia, etc.
Packable chair for easy transportation. Ultra-light. Perfect for sports games, concerts, hiking, camping, parade-watching, etc. I bought Mr. Magpie two for Christmas!
More of an investment, this chaise chair is a perfect lounge spot in our outdoor space.
The Davek New York super compact umbrella — fits in the smallest of bags but is sturdy as all get out. Mr. Magpie can even carry it in his Barbour pocket!
I’m obsessed with the sleekness of the Aiden Precision coffee maker.
These acrylic scalloped picture frames — I have these on my desk!
My go-to pillow upgrade from Amazon. So comfortable and inexpensive.
I wove this orange slice garland into a cedar garland this year for our mantel — reminiscent of a Little Women, n’est-ce-pas? Really good quality.
Mr. Magpie and I love working on these New York Times crosswords together, especially in the summer months – we’ll just leave the book out and sometimes work independently, and other times together. It’s fun how the prompts are woven into our lives — “wait, you got ten down?!”
P.S. Some of my favorite December looks.
P.P.S. Ask me anything! — DM’s edition.
P.P.P.S. Recent exclamation points on life.
