Gifts for The Partygoer
For the folks who are always going somewhere and doing something! Their social calendars are always full, and there's NEVER a dull moment when you're with them. These social butterflies love going out on the town, having fun, and being the center of attention.
Our top picks for The Partygoer include The Christmas Celebration, which has a bright, bold color palette and includes tasty treats and Kuju Coffee packets (crucial for keeping them caffeinated for all their holiday parties!) Another excellent choice is The Toast — this is one of our most popular gifts all year round, but ESPECIALLY during the holidays. It's basically a party in box! If you're looking for something with a smaller price point but BIG style, The Happy Hour is the perfect gift for anyone who loves being the life of the party!
Gifts for The Homebody
For the person who only leaves the house if they absolutely have to. These folks love creature comforts, indulging in self care, and are fans of all things cozy. You likely won't see them all winter long because they have gone into hibernation until further notice.
Our top picks for The Homebody include The Warm & Cozy, which speaks for itself! For a WOW-worthy gift, opt for The Retreat — it's beautiful, luxurious, and the perfect way to treat your recipient to a spa day in the comfort of their own home.

Another extra-sweet option is The Holiday, which has some of our favorite treats like Cinnamon Caramel by Fat Toad Farm and Hot Cocoa Mix from Public Goods.

Gifts for The Host
For the folks who are brave enough to welcome us into their homes! On behalf of those of us who could never get our houses in order to host a holiday party, I would like to thank all hosts everywhere for volunteering their homes as tribute.
