Sur la Table Soft White Wine Glasses
Give your best friend something to say cheers with by gifting these gorgeous and elegant wine glasses by Schott Zwiesel. (Better yet, pair them with a nice bottle of wine.) We love that these glasses are dishwasher-safe—after a night of fun, no one is left at the sink doing dishes.
The Sill Hoya Heart Duo
What makes these little succulents so sweet? They’re shaped like hearts! They’re also easy to take care of, making them a great gift for both the green and black thumbs in your life.

These beautifully decorated coconut and soy candles make the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates a lovely scent. Whether they prefer something fresh, warm, musky, floral, or pleasantly spicy, there’s something to suit any taste. What’s more: Each gift box comes with a set of matches that you can customize to the occasion—like “thank you.”
YETI Customized Tumbler
For the giftee who is always on the go, these stainless-steel tumblers make a perfect companion. With double-wall insulation, they’re great for keeping hot coffee hot and cold water cold. They also come in a wide array of colors and can be customized with monograms or inside jokes. Perhaps the best feature is that they’re dishwasher-safe. No one wants a gift that they have to hand-wash.
Vice Secrets Canister
If you want to send a thank-you gift with a little wink, look to Jonathan Adler, renowned purveyor of fun, fantastical home decor. We love this little canister that’s labeled “secrets,” as the recipient can use it for everything from cotton swabs to, well, something secret.
Maison Boissier Parisian Candy Gift Tin
This sweet little thank-you gift is packed with tiny treats straight from Paris. With fruit-filled dragées, sucre d’orge, hard candies, and pâtes de fruit all boxed up in a delightfully cheery tin, it’s so festive that it doesn’t even need to be wrapped.
Oakdene Designs Personalized Coordinates Key Ring
Whether you’re commemorating an engagement, a new job, or a new home, these customizable key chains are a lovely way to celebrate a location you cherish. Simply send over the coordinates and they’ll be engraved into a key chain in the metal of your choice. (We love the rose gold, but the stainless steel is lovely, too.)

These playful cement planters from Etsy will bring a pop of color to any room. Send over a few succulents as well for a thoughtful gift for new homeowners.
The Met Wildflowers Napkin Ring Set
These beautiful enamel napkin rings will deliver elegance to any dinner table. While they’ll certainly dazzle any host or museum buff, they’ll also delight the history lovers in your life: They’re based off of four blooms from the Field Book of Western Wild Flowers, which was written by designer Margaret Neilson Armstrong in 1915.
Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser and Body Balm Duet
Deliver a spa day to a friend or coworker you love with this rich and luxurious Aesop body cleanser and lotion. Infused with geranium leaf, mandarin rind, and bergamot rind, its scent is the perfect mix of fresh, citrusy, and floral that just about anyone will adore.
Mouth Chocolate-Covered Deliciousness
How do you show a chocolate lover you care? Give them a massive gift basket of chocolate, of course. This one from Mouth is packed with chocolate-y treats, like chocolate-covered animal crackers, dark chocolate-covered sea-salt caramels, and chocolate-covered Cheerios made by Jacques Torres.
Goldbelly Gift Card
While a thank-you card is nice, a thank-you gift card is even better, especially if it’s toward some really good food. This gift card from Goldbelly will treat the foodie in your life to everything from New York bagels to Southern barbecue and even Peking duck.
Sur la Table Fellow Stagg Pour-Over Kettle
This kettle from Fellow is a vision. Not only does it look good, but it has a comfy, ergonomic handle, a built-in thermometer, and a precision spout to make pour-over coffee a cinch. There are three colors available, but we love the modern-looking matte black and the vibrant copper. They’ll be an instant upgrade for any coffee lover in your life.

Fringe Studio Ceramic Trinket Box
For the friend who is always discussing their horoscope, these sweet little trinket boxes are just the thing. Delicate and colorful, they’d make a lovely ring dish or accent on a vanity.
