Our Highly Selective
Storefront
David Zwirner Books
$60
“One of our favorite artists. Also an easy gift when you want to feel more creative than just buying a candle.” —A.A.
Playing Cards
$35
“We always travel with playing cards. These are so cute and leave a cool mark if you leave them behind.” —A.A.
Smythson
$265
“What says ‘I’m an architect’ more than sketching on your beautiful leatherbound notebook? Also a lot nicer than taking notes on your iPhone.” —R.L.
Matouk

“Our favorite towels. They bring a touch of whimsy to any bathroom. And now they match Charmin’s toilet paper that also comes with scalloped edges!” —R.L.
The Row
$1,550
“This skirt is so architecturally crisp it’s hard not to feel like a Greek sculpture. But in a young way.” —A.A.
Il Buco Vita
$62
“Yes, this could be used as a salt dish. But if you are middle aged, it is also the perfect little vessel to carry all of your morning pills, vitamins, and supplements.” —R.L.
Aesop
$126
“Their body and hand wash are the best. That their graphic design and packaging is so on point is icing on the cake.” —R.L.
Donsje Amsterdam
From $94.00
“We love everything Maisonette. This dress says ‘Yes, my mom chose it. But I love it!’” —A.A.
Tory Burch

“This is fun, especially in the current moment. A perfect way to scare off men who hate cat ladies.” —A.A.
Polaroid
$149.99
“Just own one. Bring it out at dinner parties, at cocktails, at installs (if you also happen to be an interior designer), and create beautiful memories.” —R.L.
Coming Soon
$145
“Even if the owners of Coming Soon weren’t our friends, we would 100 percent be fans of their shop. With this pill-shaped carrier you can be the fun host wherever, whenever.” —R.L.
Ariel Ashe and Reinaldo Leandro
$65
“If you can’t buy our book in your local bookstore (where you should demand they order it!), it’s okay to go to Amazon. A great gift for design-oriented friends.” —A.A.
