Welcome to the most wonderful time of the year! Filled with baking, music, merriment...and existential dread trying to figure out what the heck you're going to buy for the people you love!


If you also find yourself sweating bullets come holiday time because you just CAN NOT find the perfect gift for everyone on your list, or have no idea what you want for yourself, allow me to take some pressure off of your plate, because…


As an Interior Designer, I spend all day picking out pretty things for people: tile, lighting, decor, paint, furniture, accessories, the whole shabang. It's the dream. I get to know our clients, figure out all of their favorite things and what makes their heart sing (even if they don't know what their favorite things are), and then get to present it to them in a pretty, curated package.


Now, you'd think, then, that I would be amazing at giving gifts to the people closest to me, what with all of my aesthetic magic and curated shopping talents.

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

That's a bit trickier. Sometimes (always) it's hardest to find gifts for the people you're closest to. Why? Two reasons:

  1. You don't have perspective. You're too close to it. And you know what they already have, so second guess yourself on buying anything that might be too close to something they own.

  2. The pressure. The longer you've known someone, the more you feel the pressure to get them the perfect thing of all things. Maybe this is just me as a perfectionist, but it's a struggle.

TL;DR: Specific people are difficult to shop for. But general people are not.

This year, our Christmas gift to YOU is to take the pressure off. These gift guides have been pre-approved by all of our loved ones (and our designers) filled to the brim with things everyone would be excited to receive. Things you didn't know you always wanted. That your husband wouldn't think to ask for. Gifts for your favorite homebody, chef, father in law, or BFF.

No more over-thinking!

So grab a cup of cocoa (or whisky), cozy up on the couch, and get ready to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.


Happy Shopping, friends!

Crypto .com login issues often occur due to incorrect credentials, server errors, or missing verification codes. Users may face trouble accessing their accounts on web or app platforms. Clearing cache, updating the app, verifying device settings, or resetting the password usually resolves the problem. Persistent issues require contacting Crypto .com support.

Revisé la sección de Fortnite en https://e-sports-chile.cl/fortnite/ y me pareció muy completa. Tiene explicación de cómo funcionan los torneos, los mercados de apuestas y los factores clave para seguir el juego competitivo. Si eres fan de los e‑sports o quieres empezar a apostar en Fortnite, este recurso te ayuda mucho para hacerlo con más conocimiento.

Holiday gift guides are always so inspiring - it’s fun to see creative and meaningful ideas for everyone on your list. This year, LEGO fans are in luck because there are so many unique options, from collectibles to decorative pieces. I especially love gifting a flower LEGO set - it’s elegant, long-lasting, and adds a playful touch to home decor while still feeling thoughtful and festive.
