Who doesn’t love a gift guide flush with luxury? Well, look no further, ’cause here are the budget-busting must-haves you’ve been waiting for! Half-joking aside, I really want to share with you what I’ve absolutely LOVED over the past year. This guide isn’t brought to you by a letter, number or a vowel. It’s a totally independent, unsponsored list of fabulous finds curated entirely by me that ranges from the affordable to the aspirational. So here goes — my five true favorites of 2019, along with a GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY at the bottom of this post!
5. Tata Harper
We all know that skincare is every girl’s best friend, so when I started using Tata Harper earlier this Fall, it became my newest beauty obsession and it’s the perfect way to start off this luxury gift guide. Using this line over the past three months has left my skin feeling softer than a baby’s bottom, and I’ve never received so many compliments on my glow. And my skin doesn’t just look better, it’s also healthier: Tata Harper is 100% vegan and free of GMOs, toxins, fillers, artificial and synthetic crap. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what your skin needs but you can’t go wrong with Tata Harper. A great place to start is with the daily essentials or a gift package.
4. Otto Grill
Who says a girl can’t grill? Well let me tell you, my Otto Grill makes me feel like a Grill Gone Wild. I gave this to Jason for Fathers Day, but I secretly bought this cool tool so I could have fun replicating the perfect B&B Butcher’s and Restaurant steaks. With its incredible searing ability (yes, this machine heats up to 1500 degrees in 3 minutes flat!) this portable steak-maker creates steakhouse steak that have a decadent, crusty outside and a tender, juicy inside. But wait, I know what you’re thinking … isn’t Christy Smith a vegan? I am! But a girl can at least dream of sinking her canines into a perfectly cooked carcass, right?
3. Marky’s Caviar
If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know I have a weakness for caviar. It’s actually the only time I break from my strict vegan protocol. But not just ANY caviar. I’ll only throw my dietary restrictions out the window for the best, and to me, that’s Marky’s. Not everyone is familiar with caviar so this little tasting gift set is the perfect place to start if you need a little guidance. Marky’s has been my go-to source of luxurious caviar for several years. This independent, family-owned company has been in business since 1983. Each order is hand packed and its commitment to caviar quality is legendary. Don’t be intimidated when you see caviar service at an exclusive event or private party, just know you have arrived.
2. Ylang23
Not sure what to buy for your bae? It’s time to bring on the bling! A go to for luxury gifts. I promise you, women love jewelry, and they ESPECIALLY love getting to pick out their own jewels! Ylang23 makes the process fun, exciting and meaningful, whether you’re shopping solo or making it a couple’s outing (Jason always goes jewelry shopping with me — best date night ever!). Even better, Ylang23’s selection of unique designs by independent jewelry designers is unparalleled, and you’re guaranteed to find a gorgeous bauble for every budget. A few pieces that I have been admiring this year are HERE, HERE, and HERE.
1. Park Place Mercedes
What girl hasn’t had the dream of waking up on Christmas morning and finding a brand new shiny car in the driveway, topped with a big red bow? I know I have, and it still hasn’t happened (hint, hint Santa Jason!). I’ve had the chance to get up close and personal with many of the top new models such as a GLE SUV, E-Class Sedan or Maybach S560– so many, in fact, that I would have a hard time deciding which Mercedes I want most. But trust me, I’d figure it out! No matter your budget, Park Place Motorcars has the perfect car to fulfill your Christmas wish!
