Holiday Gift Guide 2022
Luxeicon’s resident cool girl, Mosha Lundström Halbert, a multi-disciplinary fashion director, journalist, and entrepreneur, is a literal expert in all things cool. She helped us find the perfect gifts last year – and we’ve decided to make it a tradition.
By Mosha Lundström Halbert
“This candle’s concrete vessel is apropos for someone whose style skews wabi sabi. Love that it’s from a local DC grooming hub and apothecary Manifest, plus it doubles as a planter or catch-all once burnt out. And with notes of cedar leaf, olive, fir needle, and cypress, I can’t think of a better scent to flicker all holiday season.”
“There is something rather regal and kiss-the-ring about signet styles that everyone finds irresistible. Even more so when iced out with diamond insignia. This new jeweler will help you find your size and make it to measure out of recycled gold.”
“For runway fashion aficionados, acquiring a piece from new designer Maxmillian Davis’s debut collection for Ferragamo is a must. I can’t think of anything more emblematic of the house’s new groove than these Elina sandals featuring the Gancio logo as a heel in festive ruby red. Added bonus: the soles are padded for added party-hopping ease.”
“For the Queen of hearts in your life, might I suggest this lovely bag from the brilliant Irish designer Simone Rocha? It’s a charming conversation-piece and outfit emoticon all in one.”
Agent Nateur skincare essentials, limited edition holiday set
“My glowy and glamorous friend Jena Covello is the mastermind behind this cult-favorite clean beauty line, which I cannot rave about enough. Gift this ultimate holiday set to your most overworked friend in need of some self-care.”
Silk dressing gown from Zizi Donohoe
“We all have that girlfriend who is a little bit extra, blasting Lana Del Rey while they apply their red lipstick. They’ll be over the moon to receive the be-all-end-all of dressing gowns, done in rosy silk by none other than Beverly Hills retro swan herself Zizi Donohoe.”
“For the consummate host who always can be counted on for a well-stocked bar, this stunning decanter will ensure you’re always invited back. The confetti stopper adds a chic touch and certainly dresses-up the bar cart.”
“Minimalism doesn’t have to be drab and neutral. A decor-lover will adore this personality-packed vase, in an unconventional vivid two tone. I’d gift it with coordinating blooms.”
“Our family’s Icelandic holiday tradition is Jolabokaflod: a Christmas-eve holiday book exchange. I’d select this book for someone whose equal parts romanticist, maximalist, and escapist. This textured tome is the next best thing to a dreamy Italian sojourn.”
“Certain occasions (and people) require extra-celebratory glassware. I’d give these divine emerald cocktail tumblers to a couple embarking on a new chapter worth toasting.”
“My rule is if you’re going to splurge on a milestone gift for a loved one, let it be on a true statement piece they’ll wear often and think of you. This timepiece has vintage élan and would look absolutely killer with a glossy red manicure.”
Isabel marant crystal earrings
“All my single ladies need these flirtatious neck-grazing earrings. There is something so come-hither and fetching about strands of sparkling crystal dripping down the ear and framing the face.”
“For the new homeowner (or anyone who has endured a kitchen reno) this powerful blender takes top design marks. Its Nordic lines and small footprint blend in seamlessly on the countertop. Smoothie-making has never been so sleek.”
Goodee x Ezcaray Matisse throw
“This joyful mohair Matisse throw is a cozy option for the person in your life who is always chilly. They’ll happily curl up in this multicolored striped blanket, which is painstakingly hand-crafted in Spain’s Rioja region using traditional looming methods. ”
