Oftentimes, the best gifts come in small packages. These diminutive, luxurious goodies are sure to warm any recipient’s heart in a big way!
KAENON POLARIZED SUNGLASSES
Designed in California, with lenses and frames made in Japan, Kaenon creates the most beautiful high-performance eyewear in the world. No other polarized lens can match SR-91’s glass-like clarity, featherweight construction and fierce impact resistance. We’re admirers of the adventurous new Ojai Polarized Sunglasses whether it’s in translucent Stone with blue lenses, matte Tortoise with brown lenses, or the mysterious matte Black with deep gray lenses. $100
LAOLAO CASHMERE BEANIES
Tackle winter weather with a soft, warm beanie hand made with love by someone’s grandma. Each of LaoLao Studios’ gorgeous cashmere beanies are made with premium cashmere yarns. Those used for the Milk, Oatmeal and Taupe shades are undyed and free from chemicals throughout the Upper-Mongolian-farm-to-yarn process. The result is pure, indulgent comfort in five colors and five sizes from newborn to adult. The fur pom-pom on top is removable, with colors ranging from white to purple. Choose from Cable and Braided styles. $189
ENSO HYBRID RINGS
The industry leader in premium silicone jewelry now introduces the concept of hybrid jewelry. Enso’s have a brushed metal outer ring over a comfortable silicone inner ring. Fusing style with function, the metal outer ring can be easily removed when desired, revealing the flexible silicone ring below. Available in black zirconium with a black pearl silicone inner ring, or titanium with platinum silicone. Includes free exchanges for a different size. $270
SHISEDO FUTURE SOLUTION LX EYE CREME
Shiseido’s latest beauty solution is Future Solution LX Legendary Enmei Ultimate Brilliance Eye Cream packed with the goodness of Enmei herb extract and Green Treasured Silk. Elegant to the touch, the cream boosts your skin’s resilience while tackling fine lines and wrinkles for a brighter glow. $330
TUMI ACCESSORY POUCH
One of our very favorite luxury luggage makers is TUMI, of course, but did you know they also make small bags? Their 4.5” x 6.8” Small Accessory Pouch zips tight to hold all your tech with internal elastic loops to secure your chargers, battery packs, and extra cords. A must-have whether you’re jet-setting or day-tripping. (If you’re feeling extra generous, pop a Tumi Accessory Pouch inside TUMI’s coveted $1,495 Extended Trip Packing Case in silver aluminum instead of a stocking.) $95
