I’m always looking to see what appears on the TasteMaker’s holiday wish lists. Honestly, if my friends desire it, I likely do too. As an employee at InStyle, I have the privilege of knowing many fashionable editors, including Editor-in-Chief Sally Holmes.
If you’re uncertain about gift ideas this season, Holmes has shared her holiday wish list as well as gift suggestions for others. Check out the six items that made it to her 2024 wish list below.
Current Body LED Face Mask
Amazon
Many people have mentioned wanting LED face masks this year, and Holmes is included in that group. “As someone who’s often tired—thanks to work and life!—I admit I can neglect my skincare, but I’m starting to see the effects,” Holmes remarked. “While I know there’s no miracle solution, currently available LED face masks may be among the best options for tackling fine lines and dullness.”
Ring Concierge Engraved Signet Ring
Ring Concierge
In my opinion, customized gifts are among the best. Holmes has her eye on an engraved signet ring from Ring Concierge. The personalization is a major plus, but it’s also a beautiful and versatile piece. “I like the sleekness of the design and how the two small diamonds catch the light.”
Byredo Le Corps Mojave Ghost Body Wash and Lotion Gift Set
Nordstrom
One of the gifts Holmes is planning to give is the Byredo gift set. She remarked, “It’s always a standout to present someone with an indulgent beauty gift set they wouldn’t usually purchase for themselves.” She specifically highlighted the limited edition set featuring body wash and lotion in the well-known Mojave Ghost scent.
Petite Plume Kids Twill Pajama Set
Petite Plume
Inspired by gifts received by her twin daughters, Holmes stated, “There’s nothing cuter than kids in adult-style button-up pajamas.” Furthermore, the brand offers matching pajamas for adults, leading her to purchase sets for both herself and her daughters. “These pajamas are delightful, and even my husband would love to wear them.”
Bouqs Flower Subscription
Bouqs
A gift that Holmes highly recommends is the Bouqs Flower Subscription. “Giving my stepmother a three-month flower delivery subscription has been one of my most successful gift choices ever,” she shared. Not only does it provide ongoing beauty throughout the holiday season, but receiving fresh blooms in the winter is an absolute mood booster.
Jenni Kayne Cashmere Socks
Jenni Kayne
Holmes noted how her mother continues the tradition of gifting fun socks for Christmas stockings. This is a “practical gift” that also allows for personalization, ensuring each pair stands out. For luxurious options, she suggests cashmere socks from Jenni Kayne, while a fun tartan pack is perfect for those looking for something quirky. If you prefer something in between, she recommends these unique and subtle designs from J.Crew.
