Gifts Worth Giving: A Client Holiday Roundup

• Updated: September 19, 2025

Skip the guesswork this holiday season—here are a few of my clients whose offerings make excellent gifts. Consider it your shortcut to thoughtful giving.

Wellness and Beauty

• Carolla’s Beeswax Skin Creme: Carolla's creates beeswax-based skincare and wellness essentials—simple, natural gifts that soothe and shine.
• Appalachian Mountain Club: I've only worked with their NY-NJ chapter, but this is a great organization connecting people with nature and their favorite outdoor activities. You can gift a membership to someone who loves the outdoors while supporting conservation throughout the northeastern U.S.!
• Robyn Choi: Need holiday stress relief? Robyn’s acupuncture and holistic approach can help with everything from pain and migraines to women’s health and fatigue. Gift yourself (or someone you love) some deeply soothing self-care. (Based in Brookyn, NY)

Artsy Gifts & Home

• Cheryl's Doodles Studio: If you want something cute, original, and lightweight enough to ship, Cheryl’s canvas totes, illustrated pins, and home-wares are exactly what your gift pile needs.
• Kiki's Art and Travel: Looking for artwork that’s both beautiful and meaningful? Aruna creates original abstract-floral pieces and takes commissions so you can get something made just for the space (or person) you love.
• Amy Mayes Photography: Need a photographer for your office holiday party—or a fresh set of headshots for yourself or a loved one? Amy’s a talented NYC-based pro who can make it happen."
