Chloé Paddington Bag

Standard delivery within five business days

We deemed Chloé’s Paddington one of the hottest handbags of fall 2025 for a reason. The reissued satchel is back after first debuting on the fashion house’s spring 2005 runway, and, dare we say, it’s better than ever (as well as fresh off a long waitlist). Benefitting from an east-west silhouette, the most exquisite leather composition, and Chloé’s instantly identifiable padlock, this is the purse your wife is missing. You’re welcome in advance.

Alexandra Llewellyn Cigar Travel Backgammon Set

Estimated delivery December 19 – December 29, 2025

Abask is an e-commerce marketplace dealing in only the most exquisite of items across tableware, home textiles, and even ready-to-wear clothing — which can be sorted by the four core Abask aesthetics (Bohemian, Modernist, Minimalist, and Classic). As part of a recently unveiled holiday partnership, the platform has teamed up with Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection on an edit of hand-selected Abask offerings that can not only be shopped online but are also appearing as part of the upstate New York property’s programming for a limited time. This travel-sized Cigar Travel Backgammon Set from premium board game brand Alexandra Llewellyn is just one of such products; being crafted out of precious materials like calf leather, tiger’s eye, and marble, it’s not only a sight to behold (peep those Cuban cigar illustrations) but will also come in handy for many late-night backgammon rituals.

“Don’t miss the weighted doubling cube,” Abask says in marketing copy, “a detail that ensures cheating is a no-go.”

Shani Darden by Déesse Pro LED Light Mask

Delivery by December 19, 2025

Yes, celebrity esthetician Shani Darden, who’s treated the likes of Jessica Alba, Shay Mitchell, and Chrissy Teigen, has her own skin care line. And yes, shopping from it for a loved one — particularly this leading LED face mask — is practically a mandate at this point. The gadget stands out from the light therapy crowd based on the fact that it comes with a special neck piece, making sure the user’s décolletage area is also treated to benefits like firming, fine-line smoothing, and an uptick in collagen production. It’s comfortable, it’s lightweight, and it features over 200 LED lights for targeted, cellular-level skin improvements without ever leaving home (and the couch specifically).

Bottega Veneta Small Intrecciato Dog Leash

Next business day delivery for orders placed by 12:30 p.m. EST

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and the way to a dog lover’s heart is through a gift that has nothing to do with them and everything to do with Fido. We suggest leaving holiday-themed Lamb Chops in the past, though, and sticking to something both unique and opulent this holiday season. Enter: Bottega Veneta’s very own dog leash, made from the same kind of Intrecciato calfskin leather that bedecks the label’s most famous tote bags, duffels, and other catchalls. Its Parakeet coloring will also ensure the beloved canine is easier to spot, all while, obviously, making him the neighborhood’s chicest dresser.

Ferragamo Oversize Asymmetrical Coat

Expected to ship within three to five business days (standard delivery = four to six business days after order has shipped)

Staying warm becomes a universal objective once December rolls around, and there’s no better way to attain the feeling than by wrapping oneself in the (elevated) embrace of a Ferragamo virgin wool coat. This one fuses softness with structure, flaunting a cape-like collar that will spare its wearer from the need to haul around a separate scarf — while infusing their ensemble with utter drama. Other components of the outerwear bestseller to get excited for? Its chevron patterning, waist-cinching powers, and kimono sleeves for making a true sartorial statement.

Venus et Fleur x Ginori 1735 Eternity Roses in Ming Porcelain Vase

Expected to ship no later than December 17, 2025

To seal things off with some fragrant florals, there’s the collaboration Venus et Fleur x Ginori 1735 Eternity Roses set for the taking, which consists of 16 long-stemmed, preserved roses that smell like the real deal and will look fresh for over a year. But the marquee event here is undoubtedly the elegant vase the blooms are housed inside, marked by an Oriente Italiano print from Ginori 1735: a porcelain master that has been producing objets d’art for close to, you guessed it, 300 years.
