2017BCXP HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

2. MOMS & WOMEN
WE LOVE

3. PLANT FRIEND FROM THE DANDY FARMER
We love these classy creatures curated by The Dandy Farmer. An elegant gift for Mom
when it’s hard to find something fabulous she doesn’t already have.
DE MAMIEL ALTITUDE OIL
We sampled this potion at the Goop Pop-Up with both feet on the ground and were
absolutely mesmerized. Whatever is in this vile is intoxicating, relaxing and luxurious. It’s
claims are true. Pro-tip: buy one for yourself too, you can thank us later.
SLIP BEAUTY COLLECTION
Beauty sleep is a real thing and this set delivers. What’s more, it comes in the mask +
pillow case combo and is packaged for gifting perfection.
CUYANA TRAVEL COLLECTION
Bags and travel pouches as gifts can fall flat, but this collection comes in chic colors
(pebbled leather in Ecru is our favorite) and it can be monogrammed, which we always
recommend. Another thing mom may never think to buy for herself. Pro-tip: fill it with hand-
picked goodies to pamper her for added impact.
GRAVITAS GC
For the powerhouse woman on your list who looks for a garment that works as hard as
she does, these pieces are designed with passion and with the professional woman in
mind. Use MOMSGIVING for a cool 15% off.
INA GARTEN COOKBOOK
Cookbooks have dropped on gift lists year over year but this one is worth a second look.
Buy it for mom and cook some recipes with her when you are at home for the holidays.
How easy is that?

4. DADS & MEN
THAT MEAN SO MUCH

5. NORTH FACE THERMOBALL JACKET
A proper fit close to the body is critical so this jacket will keep your dad warm in freezing
weather but also won’t make him sweat when he wants to pop-out in mild temps this
spring. TNF Black is always a great bet.
BARBOUR CRUSHABLE BUSHMAN HAT
Perfect for rain, snow and especially traveling; this hat can be rolled, folded, crushed and
packed for trips, then always returns to its original shape.
BEST MADE CO. AXE
Claimed by the company; ‘the axe is the most invaluable tool known to mankind’ and we
can’t get over how slick these are. The definition of a gift in our opinion; an item dads
would never buy for themselves with the ability to personalize and make memories. Buy
it, monogram it, then go cut fire wood and spend time with your dad. You’ll be glad you
did and he will never forget it.
WINE SPECTATOR SUBSCRIPTION
The magazine arrives monthly and is packed with knowledge, a solid gift for the
connoisseur and amateur alike. Pro-tip: Pair it with a bottle of wine to physically unwrap
or even a monthly wine subscription.
REVERSE CHARADES GAME
Dads love to gather for the holidays and games are a fun way to connect as a family.
This one is SFF (Safe For Family) and definitely fun. Dad will love it and it’s the type of
gift he’s looking for when you are all finally together after being apart for most of the year.

they’re perfect for festivals and daylong adventures when guys don’t want to be weighed
down. These wallets last forever and are a low(er) cost gift for the holidays. Pro-tip:
purchase multiples at a discount so a few in your crew can receive them without breaking

LEMON BALL
This may be a tough sell on a gift guide but we promise you – Lemon Balls are

the park (sans gloves) and they look great on a shelf too. A Lemon Ball feels important
and when gifted by someone special, can really mean a lot.

Capital One’s Kids Savings Account. Open one for your child, make the first deposit,
and gift them their very first account statement this season.
GIRLUP DONATION
The holidays are a perfect time to give back and what better way to do that than gift
a donation to GirlUp. This United Foundation’s mission is to give girls the chance to
change the world, something we can certainly get on board with.

13. BABIES & NEW PARENTS

14. JANIE + JACK
This site will make you happy that you know someone with a baby.
Everything is adorable and too expensive to buy on the daily as a
parent but perfectly priced for friends and family to spoil little loved
ones at the holidays.

make the most amazing quilts (amongst other things) and offer super

plush and full of personality. Get them embroidered with the child’s
initials and make this cuddly friend a lifelong keepsake.

15. EVERYONE

16. APPLE AIRPODS
We get it, Airpods look a little weird. The thing you don’t know if you don’t have them is how
much they literally change your life. Living and listening cord free is impossible to describe.
Pro-tip: check delivery dates ASAP from various sites – we’ve found Best Buy delivers free
the fastest, and definitely order before they sell out. . . we have a feeling they will.

We’ve been watching this since it’s Kickstarter almost two years ago. Since then, they’ve
perfected the hard goods, created an app and become one of Oprah’s favorite things. Check
this out if you know someone serious about being healthy, eating well and saving money by
packing their lunch on the daily.
NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION DONATION
The holidays are about giving and while it is a topic a bit foreign until it comes close to home,
thousands of people give the gift of health and life via kidney donation each year. Let’s send
them support and provide research and resources this season with a donation to NKF.
