FOR SELF-CARE CHIC
CANDACE’S PICK: Kida House

IN HER WORDS
If you have a self-care & wellness loving person in your life, we can guarantee they will enjoy a gift card to Kida House. Kida House is Columbus’ newest elevated nail studio!
From the use of Aesop products to beverage offerings upon your arrival – and the beautiful interior along with the incredible service menu – your giftee is bound to love their time at Kida House… it’s the epitome of nail care luxury!
FOR DECKING THE ‘WALLS’
ELIZABETH’S PICK: “Growing Hope,” available at Crimson Design Group’s Showroom

IN HER WORDS
Art is so personal… but for the person who is looking for an intimate gift for someone they love… Why not gift art?
I have found art, whether it’s digital, impressionism, paintings, or sculpture, to show character and start conversations in a time when perhaps some find it to be challenging! A beautiful (or complete abstract mess!) can invoke feelings and conversation in an instant.
If you need a showroom to find some gems, check out Crimson Design Group. You can walk through a beautifully curated showroom to find your fav piece! This piece called “Growing Hope” could be a beauty for that special someone!
FOR HAPPY HAIR
BRITT’S PICK: Innersense Organic Beauty True Enlightenment Scalp Scrub

IN HER WORDS
A beauty product perfect for anyone on your list is this scalp scrub from Innersense. It works well for those with sensitive skin, has clean ingredients, and the peppermint scent feels festive, though it can be used year-round.
The scrub removes buildup and allows for the ideal environment for healthy hair growth. If you like to go a while in between washes like me, or if you have an oily scalp, my hairstylist approved it for the full gamut, making it the perfect holiday self care treat… I mean “gift.”
FOR SIPS & SPAGHETTI
MCKENNA’S PICK: Forno/The Marmont

IN HER WORDS
With so many reaching for physical items during this season, why not sprinkle in something different with an experience?
As a newer resident of our lovely city, I’ve spent much of the past six months exploring the food scene in Columbus. Forno has stood out as one of my favorite dining destinations!
Gifting a planned evening at Forno means the perfect, relaxing night of delicious Italian bites (like my personal favorite, the Pasta Forno). Plus, enjoy a savory, sip-worthy cocktail after your meal in their speakeasy, The Marmont – conveniently tucked away just steps downstairs in a vibey, lounge-style location.
FOR HIM THIS HOLIDAY

BEN’S ‘FIT PICK: Taylor Stitch Shaw Collar Sweater from Samson Men’s Emporium
IN HIS WORDS
This holiday season, I am loving this shawl collar sweater from Taylor Stitch. It has a great texture and versatile color. I always try to shop local for gifts, and you can find this one at Samson Men’s Emporium in the Short North!
SKIN CARE FOR HIM PICK: Youth Still Got It Set by Kiehl’s Since 1851
IN HIS WORDS
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention skin care for men. It’s never too late to start taking care of your skin, guys! This kit has all the basic essentials: a facial cleanser, a moisturizer, and an eye cream. You can find this gift set at our local Nordstrom store. The gift sets are a great way to try new things and I personally love this eye cream and moisturizer!
FOR A CBUS EXPERIENCE
WHITNEY’S PICK: Columbus Aeronauts

IN HER WORDS
Looking for a gift that’s anything but ordinary? A hot air balloon ride is pure magic — part adventure, part serenity, and completely unforgettable.
It’s the perfect way to give someone not just a present, but a breathtaking experience they’ll talk about for years.
Bonus: it’s hard to top the romance of floating above the world at sunrise.
FOR THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORIES
CHRISTINE’S PICK: Jewelry from Truluck

IN HER WORDS
Whether you get a jump start on your holiday shopping or are a last-minute shopper (like myself), buying accessories offers a simple solution! We are so fortunate here in Columbus that we have such amazing boutiques that offer a variety of items, both big and small.
Jewelry is a great stocking stuffer and an easy way to add effortless style. I love the jewelry, earrings in particular, at Truluck Boutique in New Albany – the vibe is laid back, West Coast chic and perfect for any fashionista in your life.
FOR FILLING THEIR CUP (LITERALLY)
WHIT’S PICK: Kittie’s Cakes coffee shop

IN HER WORDS
Kittie’s Cakes is a neighborhood favorite for grabbing a quick coffee or sweet treat. My go-to beverage is their matcha latte with mint, or a Snickerdoodle Latte if I’m feeling festive!
Their gift cards make perfect stocking stuffers, and I love picking up mini cupcakes or cookies to bring as housewarming gifts.
They have multiple locations, and the Bexley location shares a space with Gramercy Books, so twice the gift-giving inspiration in one stop!
FOR SCENT ESSENTIALISTS

KULI’S WOMEN’S PICK: Cartier La Panthère Eau de Parfum Set
IN HER WORDS
This is my pick for women – this is the perfect time to buy it as a gift!
PLUS, HER MEN’S PICK: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Fragrance Miniatures Set
IN HER WORDS
This fragrance collection for men features a great discovery set of small fragrances.
