thoughtful gifting | CHRISTINA'S GIFT GUIDE

Nothing brings me more joy than finding the perfect gift for someone. I love taking into consideration who they are, what our relationship is, and thinking about things that they may not have thought of for themselves. We are kicking off our thoughtful gifting series with holiday gift guides. Each member of the Christina Kober Designs team will be sharing their gift guide for the special people in their lives.

Many of us here at CKD don’t feel right walking into any store around the holidays and picking out a mass produced gift. We love taking the time to select something that supports a small business. All of the gifts you’ll see in our gift guides are something from a small business.

For our first gift guide we are starting with me, Christina! I hope you enjoy my picks.

for my globe trotting bestie
While traveling can open your eyes to things you never imagined - sights, foods, and people - it can wreak havoc on your skin. Giving a gift for her to pamper her skin while traveling would be the ultimate treat! May Lindstrom’s skin care is made from all natural ingredients and feels luxurious on your skin. I love the “chocolate box” that includes sample sizes perfect for travel of May Lindstrom complete skin ritual.

for my husband who wants to look polished and cool
I love my husband dearly, he does so much for me - from cooking dinner to supporting my business - but he struggles with fashion. I love shopping for him and finding pieces that are special and great quality. The Nashville based brand, Nisolo, focuses on sustainably made leather goods that are made to last. The Chelsea Boots are a versatile shoe that he can easily wear with dress pants or jeans - giving him a polished edge to his wardrobe.

for my first-time momma cousin
I don’t have any siblings, but my cousin has always been like a sister to me. She was always meant to be a mom and this year she became one! I really want to give her something that celebrates her as a new momma and the bond she has with her son. The narrow inspiRING is the perfect personalized gift with her son’s birth date in roman numerals stacked with a sweet diamond dusted petite stacker to add a bit of sparkle.
