We churn through ideas, products, and original concepts like tomorrow’s a rumor. To kick off November, we decided to start cataloging…cue the music… ”a few of our favorite things.” Some of the products and experiences making our holiday wish lists…so far. More to come.
If you like to cultivate original style…you’ll want…
A piece from Sonia Boyajian Jewelry
Interesting and unique. The clean, clear offering and presentation make it simple to find a piece that fits your personality. All falling into the category of subtle statement-maker, the rings and "statement necklaces" are perfect stocking stuffers. Honorable mention to the homeware.
Lady Lancaster Vintage Textile Statement Jacket
This maker takes vintage goods and makes them into “wearable art.” The pieces have a certain can’t-take-your-eyes-off-it quality. So, if you like to stand out or have a your look start the conversation, this is for you.
An Eva Joan Repair Gift Card
We’ve been obsessed with Eva Joan for a while now. Yes, because it prioritizes mindful consumption. But also the personal connection and expression it encourages, especially for that well-loved pair of khakis or denim. A thoughtful way to celebrate both style and longevity.
If you’re into the arts…ask for…
XGIMI Home Cinema
Easily integrated into the design of the home, this super sleek home cinema system will delight family and friends on movie night. A multifunctional compact projector that enhances the visual and audio experience of watching movies.
AirBnB Icons Experience
Airbnb’s Icons Experience creates an immersive experience into the worlds of cultural legends, from music icons to iconic film sets, for a one-of-a-kind Superman gift. It’s the ultimate pop culture moment for anyone dreaming of stepping into the spotlight.
Blipbox myTRACKS
Meant to be an educational toy for young music enthusiasts, but just as fun for anyone. Blipblox is a beat-making machine that introduces the fundamentals of music production through play. Perfect for screen-free entertainment.
If you enjoy interior design…pop ‘em on the list…
Wrensilva Record Consoles
This one checks all the boxes. Hand-built modern record consoles that switch between vinyl and Bluetooth seamlessly, and even pair with a Sonos system to stream lossless vinyl audio to your home. Functional furniture. Right up our alley.
Cat Haus Cat Trees
For the pet parents on our team, Cat Haus’s cat trees are their obsession. Also in the category of functional furniture, the vibrant, stylish twist on scratching posts are perfect if average is not your objective.
Fatboy Attackle Bench
Check off three boxes: outdoor furniture, art installation, and, for our non-pet-parent team members, a no-fuss pet. The whimsy of this balloon animal bench is delightful, but still sophisticated. Works indoor or out, and comes in the only two colors you might need - black and white.
If you have a sense of adventure…drop a hint for…
Leather Travel Slippers from Aime Leon Dore
If you’re going, go in style. We all want these buttery-soft, easy-to-pack, cooler-than-hell travel slippers. We want to be lounging on a long-haul flight or padding around our hotel rooms in these. Not totally against wearing them outside either.
The Pheonix Service from Eton
For the traveling businessman…or woman…Eton’s Phoenix Service offers lifetime travel insurance for their signature twill shirt. So if you ever lose your luggage, they’ll replace your shirts at no cost. Luxurious yet practical for the frequent flyer.
Louis Vuitton Passport Cover
This seems cliche and bougie, but we think it’s sentimental. LV has a program where you can have your Vuitton passport cover foil-stamped in all the LV’s in major cities worldwide. With everything going digital, it's a lovely keepsake to mark the moments in a person's life and travels.
If you have a healthy appetite… add to wishlist…
Resident Culinary Journey
A Resident meal is the ultimate gift for foodies. The idea: exclusive, speakeasy-style dinners crafted by world-class talent in intimate settings. From multi-course tasting menus to inventive seasonal pairings, each creates a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Kitchen Aid Artisan Series
This classic kitchen appliance, upgraded with a gorgeous matte green finish and a wooden bowl, is the perfect combination of art and science. The attachments allow you to mill your own flour, grind meat, shave ice, and make pasta in all kinds of shapes. The aesthete's equipment for homesteading.
Toast Rack
We’re into it. The chic reappearance of an old-time staple, the toast rack, subtly popping up in tablescapes and homeware collections. We like two in particular. Gohar World (CD&Co. fav) has a selection of these little lovelies; we would take any of them. And Henry Holland Studio (other CD&Co. fav) puts a twist on it with a ceramic version.
If beauty & wellness is your thing…mention…
Tusol Wellness Smoothies
Crafted by a Michelin-star chef, the smoothies promise all the benefits you'd expect - superfoods, metabolic health, immunity, energy, and organic - with elevated flavors and modern aesthetics. Worth a shot. And, aesthetically, they track.
The Lipzi Straw
This is just absurd enough that we’re on board. The Lipzi Straw is designed to help prevent lines around the mouth and is ideal for anyone who’s had recent lip work. Comfortable, wrinkle-free sipping, in multipacks, and compatible with popular reusable tumblers like the Stanley Cup. Don’t wait, run.
Violette_FR and Dieux
Two beauty/skincare brands the team is buying up! Violette_FR offers gorgeous washes of color for your lips and cheeks, and Dieux has amazing eye masks and a skincare collection that is clean, easy, and transparent about production and costs.

Leica Instant Camera
Analog x Digital x Nostalgic. The perfect gift to give or get for camera lovers and picture-takers. The quality actually comes through in these printed images, and why would it not from such an esteemed brand? You can select photos taken on the camera or upload from your phone, before printing. Our resident camera nerd is obsessed with hers.
Primegeg Video Motion Picture Frame
Framed pictures and digital picture frames are always a hit. This is the best of both worlds and the obvious next step. But we also like the looks of this one. A sleek Lucite frame with a video running inside.
Susan Alexandra x Bose
Playing into the clarification of accessories—and we are all for it—this may be the gift of the season: a personalized set of Bose headphones in a limited-edition collaboration from yet another CD&Co favorite, Susan Alexandra. This accessory is the subtle flex, in our humble opinions.
