It’s never too late to ask for help when it comes to holiday shopping, especially when you’re trying to nail down something for that friend who has everythingWhatever is stumping you, a recommendation from someone with naturally great taste is always welcome, which is why we went to the coolest people we could think of and asked them what they’ll be gifting to others this season.  

Ahead, EyeSwoon’s Athena Calderone, designer John Derian, Chillhouse founder Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton, and more tastemakers reveal the finds they’re coveting. (Great news: Some of them shared multiple ideas.) Their stylish picks start at $16, so don’t sweat it if you’re on a tight budget.

This year I’ll be supporting local restaurants with my gifting. I’ll be sending a bounty of cookies from Maman NYC. For local deliveries, they come in the prettiest little boxes, but they also ship outside the city. Young Huh, designer

I personally use this bowl every morning to burn palo santo, to encourage the cleansing of negative energy. It also makes a great catchall for jewelry, and the patina finish adds a sense of sophistication to any room’s aesthetic. Athena Calderone
