It’s such a lovely, specific feeling, isn’t it, the moment that you decide to treat yourself? And when you treat someone you love to a thoughtful gift that elevates everyday moments, you get double the satisfaction.
Since indulgences needn’t necessarily be investments, we asked The Kit team to share their holiday wish lists.
“This set of side plates from Australian tableware brand In The Roundhouse features iconic Italian phrases and is the definition of joy. They add a merry pop of colour to my tablescape no matter the meal, whether it’s dinner with the family or dessert for one.” —Renée Tse, The Kit shopping editor
“This sleek vegan leather pouch from Canadian stationery brand Acoshia literally keeps every little thing (that’s why it’s called the E.L.T. pouch) in my bag organized in one place. Plus, I love how it’s transparent on both sides of the pouch, so I can easily spot my charging cord, earbuds, lipstick or whatever I need.” —R.T.
“Walking around with a really good lip gloss or balm in my bag always makes me feel put together. This is one of the best I’ve tried: It has the perfect amount of tint for makeup or no-makeup days.” —Briannah Daniel, The Kit art director
“Interesting glassware is such a beautiful addition to a someone’s space, and this set of coloured wine glasses would look perfect on display in any home. I’m also a believer that gorgeous glassware could make even drinking a glass of sparkling water feel like a moment.” —B.D.
“These little wafer cookies flavoured with Sicilian lemon oil are tiny squares of sunshine. They’re great because you can just have a couple…but I never can.” —Eden Boileau, The Kit production director
“We test out a lot of beauty products at The Kit, but only a handful are memorably effective. Advanced Night Repair is a classic that’s worth the splurge.” —E.B.
“Notice Hair Co. is a Canadian woman-owned company that offers the best haircare in minimal plastic-free packaging. I stumbled upon its products while looking for a solution for my postpartum hair loss and never looked back. The citrus-scented Daytona duo is my latest obsession.” —Elena Viltovskaia, The Kit creative director
I’ve grown to love my morning coffee so much that my first cup feels almost sacred. I’m building a rainbow of Le Creuset mugs—elegant yet sturdy, the ceramic retains heat and feels wonderful in the hands and against the mouth. This sage shade is the perfect autumnal addition to my collection.” —Laura deCarufel, The Kit editor-in-chief
“The new fragrance from Aesop is a study in olfactory complexity: fresh yet woody, citrusy yet heady, it combines bergamot, fig and green tea. The result is an intriguing scent that brings joy with every spritz.” —L.DC.
