Cécred Wash Day Kit
This holiday season, give the gift of good hair care. Beyoncé’s beloved haircare brand released holiday giftsets perfect for him or her. The limited-edition Wash-Day kit features travel-sized Clarifying Shampoo & Scalp Scrub, Hydrating Shampoo, Moisturizing Deep Conditioner, and Nourishing Hair Oil. It also includes a limited-edition marble-designed Wide-Tooth Comb to help style and detangle with ease.
iBest Wines
Introduce your loved ones to the exceptional taste of Stellenbosch, South Africa, with iBest Wines. Known for its rich wine heritage but often underrepresented, this world-renowned region produces quality-driven wines that are perfect for holiday gifting. iBest Wines brings you carefully crafted red and white blends that showcase the unique terroir and craftsmanship of Stellenbosch winemaking.
Cee Cee’s Closet NYC Satin Pillowcases
Upgrade your beauty sleep and protect those wash-day tresses with a satin pillowcase. Designed to reduce morning frizz and prevent hair breakage, these silky satin pillowcases minimize friction and tugging for healthier hair over time. Featuring bold, African-inspired designs in rich colors, they make a stunning statement piece that complements any bed set. The cool-touch fabric ensures a comfortable night’s sleep, while the non-absorbent material retains moisture for hydrated hair and skin.
Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel Watch 3
What’s better than one gift? Two. Move over Apple—Google’s got the perfect pair for tech enthusiasts. The Google Pixel 9 Pro brings a pro-level camera experience with its built-in selfie light and Super Res Zoom, capturing crisp, vibrant shots even from a distance. Meanwhile, the Pixel Watch 3 offers seamless integration with health tracking and an elegant design. We recently put both to the test at an NBA game, and let’s just say, thanks to the Pixel 9 Pro’s camera, we were able to get some clear evidence of a WNBA superstar supporting her rumored boo Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat.
Gucci Playing Card Set
Perfect for your favorite Spades partner, the Gucci Playing Card Set adds a touch of luxury to game nights. Inspired by the playful spirit of the ‘50s and ‘60s, the set features whimsical forest-print cards housed in a beige and ebony GG Supreme canvas case. Accented with Demetra trims made from renewable vegetable raw materials and adorned with Gucci’s Double G logo and signature green and red Web stripe, it’s a blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication.
Harlem Candle Co.’s Josephine Candle
For the candle-obsessed friend on your holiday shopping list, Harlem Candle Co.’s “Josephine” candle is a luxurious tribute to the legendary Josephine Baker. Inspired by the iconic chanteuse and entertainer, the candle embodies her creative and groundbreaking spirit through a sophisticated blend of scents. With vibrant notes of citrus and bergamot, an enchanting heart of Moroccan rose and Indian jasmine, and a warm base of amber, sandalwood, tonka bean, and vanilla, the fragrance captures the essence of Baker’s dazzling career and timeless elegance. From Harlem’s jazz clubs to the Parisian stage, this opulent candle channels the glamour and brilliance of “The Bronze Goddess” herself, making it an unforgettable gift this season.
