Holiday Gift Guide

Holiday Gift Ideas for Clients, Colleagues, and Co-workers

November 20, 2018
Ten creative holiday gift ideas sure to wow any client, colleague or co-worker in leiu of those boring corporate gifts (not that they don't love your usual box of pears). From a Los Angeles gift company curating bespoke gifts to monogrammed cocktail napkins, these ideas aren't just business as usual. They will work for most anyone on your list!
“It’s the most wonderful time…of the year.”

I’m not sure how it’s possible that the holidays are upon us again, but here we are—bracing ourselves for yet another Black Friday. The Grove in LA put up the Christmas decor before Halloween, which honestly sent me into a bit of a panic. I need to at least get through Thanksgiving before I can fully commit to decking the halls or holiday shopping!

This year, I put together a guide full of items that will help you wow any client, colleague or co-worker in lieu of those boring corporate gifts—not that they didn’t love that box of pears. But I really hope you will consider these options for anyone on your list that has you stumped. Make sure to read to the end because I included gift ideas from three of my favorite lady bosses, who have all knocked my socks off with their gift-giving skills! And make sure you’re signed up for The Sunday Edition. I’ll be sharing more holiday gift ideas there this Sunday.

First, Happy Thanksgiving. Then, happy shopping!

Iittala Taika Coffee/Cappuccino Cup

I discovered these amazing coffee cups while I was in Austin at the Hotel Saint Cecilia. No matter how many mugs your client has, adding a special touch is always worth it. While you’re at it, pickup one for yourself. It’s currently in my cart for my house too.

Copper Coffee Press & Coffee of the Month

A gorgeous set of coffee mugs is not complete without a great way to brew your coffee. I love the beautiful copper-plated finish perfect for brewing up rich, full-bodied coffee. And adding a Coffee of the month subscription from Blue Bottle Coffee is an absolute treat.

Henry & Maybole: Creators and Curators of Exquisite, Bespoke Gifts

For when you need that extra special gift for the person in your life who has everything, my friend Lauren just launched her gift company—consider the pressure off of you to knock their socks off. Take for instance their hand-carved, wooden golf putters sculpted from cocobolo, ebony, and maple that perform both on the green and as showpieces. The owner’s name is subtly inscribed on the bottom to protect their beloved putters from cheeky maneuvers. Includes a molded leather head covers and wooden showcase stand. Price ranges from $495-$2500.

Lettermade Karl Lagerfeld Monogrammed Cocktail Napkin

This is one of my favorite items to gift because it excudes elegance, but has a pop art edge. From bar cart to kitchen counter, monogrammed cocktail napkins add a special touch. Karl Lagerfeld adds to the fabulousness.

Jill Burrows Moroccan Handmade in LA House Slippers

A gift guide from me starts with a pair of shoes, sort of. I’m gifting these slippers. This modern take on a slipper makes these a client “shoe” favorite. It’s a perfect reminder to take some time to slow down from time-to-time. Available for men and women.

Be careful who you call your guru. Having worked i Be careful who you call your guru. Having worked in entertainment publicity for two decades and being on the inside of some of today's most celebrated experts in the self help world, I can promise you this: most people are not what they seem. And also...watched the WeWork doc, which touches on this too. When you start believing your own hype, things usually start crumbling down. #quoteoftheday #wisewords

When I was in preschool I was typecast as the moth When I was in preschool I was typecast as the mother in the school play cause I was "bossy." But even then I chose to think of it as being a BOSS. And I never stopped. To bossy women everywhere, you're my people. #internationalwomensday
