For the holidays, we asked our Aficionadas to share their ideas on what they would like to give and receive this year.
Lea Marcaccini
GIVE
It depends on the woman I would be getting a gift for, but I am madly in love with all of the Botita bags, I think they are the perfect size and shape. Jewelry-wise, I love the Toggle Chain Necklace as one can wear it in so many different ways.
RECEIVE
I would love to receive the Botita in Loden Napa. It is my favorite color combined with my favorite practical bag. I have been wearing my black one daily and having a different color would be great way to change it up.
HOST/HOSTESS GIFT
John Pawson's Anatomy of Minimum is a beautiful book to bring for a host or hostess!
Taiana Giefer
GIVE
The Thick Rounded Rings make great gifts for my girlfriends.
RECEIVE
I would love to receive the Rounded Bangle Thick, it's perfect!
HOST/HOSTESS
Tom Adler's beautiful book, An Uncommon Archive.
Julia Leach
GIVE
Timeless, elegant, and suitable for a variety of different senses of personal style, I'd give the beautiful Esfera Cuff to any of my girlfriends, and I'd feel confident they'd be thrilled to receive it.
RECEIVE
I travel quite a bit so would love the Jewelry Roll in Napa as I always carry all of my rings and bracelets in my bag until I get through security, on and off the flight, and then put my jewelry on when I get to my destination. This would keep everything organized, which I love.
HOST/HOSTESS GIFT
For a bit of a splurge, I would get a wide gold ribbon and loop it through the beautiful Borlita key chain, then tie it around the neck of a bottle of champagne or good wine. Key chains are one of those things that we don't often indulge in for ourselves, so it's nice when someone else does so for us!
Samantha Wennerstrom
GIVE
A gift certificate to Life In Tents. It's the coolest tent rental company so you can set up your own glamping experience anywhere!
RECEIVE
We're expecting our second baby in January and I'll need some free hands! Love how sleek and cool the Girona Backpack is and functional.
HOST/HOSTESS
Travel Home design book by my friend Caitlin Flemming, and a bottle of Casa Dragones tequila.
Sophia Penske
GIVE
I will give the Khadija bag in Loden Napa - it's such a cool bag and the color is amazing!
RECEIVE
I would love to receive the Tapered Thin Hoops and the Double Ring Belt in Loden Napa, it's the perfect size.
HOST/HOSTESS
Oh I will bring the Picasso and Francoise Gilot: Paris-Vallauris book-it's beautiful and interesting and everyone is in need of more books!
Ashley Wick
GIVE
The Imaan Cuff II is beautiful and sculptural and would make a great gift for any of my girlfriends.
RECEIVE
The Khadija in Fino Napa-I'm obsessed with this bag!
HOST/HOSTESS
Travel Home is such a great coffee table book and great for a host or hostess.
Miye McCollough
GIVE
A lot of my friends have dogs, so I think the Tapered Dog Collar (I especially love that it's padded for comfort!) and Ring Dog Leash in brown bridle leather would make a great gift set. It's the kind of gift that keeps on giving to a friend and their special sidekick for many years to come.
RECIEVE
The 14K gold Essential Hoops in all the sizes! They are essential aren't they!
HOST/HOSTESS
Oh the Turtle Conservancy Medallion, of course! It's a great looking necklace for men or women and what better way to spread awareness for one of the most threatened group of animals on the planet!
Jessica de Ruiter
GIVE
I would like to give the books Fabien Baron: Works and The Art of Outdoor Living to my husband.
RECEIVE
I would love to receive the Black Bolsa!
HOST/HOSTESS
The Cardamom Candle smells so good and is the perfect host or hostess gift!
Loan Chabanol
GIVE
The Paul Klee: Theatre Everywhere book is amazing and would make a perfect gift to almost anyone.
RECEIVE
I love the Vida Clutch in fino suede! Beautiful color and I like that it has built in wallet -holds a lot and looks minimally chic!
HOST/HOSTESS
The Lemon Rosemary Candle smells so fresh and makes a great host/hostess gift.
