Stoneware Fluted Vase | Monsoon Pottery
“Everything potter Danielle Chutinthranond makes is dishwasher- and microwave-safe, which is key, and I love her theory that beautiful doesn’t have to be precious. This vase with a bouquet of flowers is perfect for a gift.”
–Elizabeth Tulipana, Anticipation Events Group

Koval Cranberry Gin Liqueur | Koval Distillery
“My go-to gift has to be from Koval, a local organic whiskey and gin producer. This liqueur is crisp and delicious, mixes well with prosecco and comes in a festive bottle. What more could you ask for?”

Cast Glass Salt Cellars | Facture Goods
“These remind me of sea glass that has had all the sharp edges worn away with time. They’re pretty enough to claim a permanent spot on a kitchen counter or make a special appearance on a holiday dinner table. I also love that they are handmade and no two are alike.”

Deseda Monarchs + Milkweed Silk Scarf |Modern Wing Museum Shop at The Art Institute of Chicago
“I have a thing for butterflies, and I love how this scarf can add a pop of pattern to an otherwise neutral outfit. Scarves are one-size-fits-all, so it’s a great universal item that breaks the mold of a typical hostess gift.”
–Ali Bacon, The Gettys Group
