Gifts for the Host + Stoner Bitch
Plus, shop my closet, a huge High Sport delivery, and a quick + dirty private sale edit.
Night send! Before we dive into separate gift guides for the hosts and stoner bitches among you, here’s something that suits both: custom matchbooks. Y’all really seemed to like ours, which I had made a silly newsletter promo to give to friends at work dinners. Get your own here. Sky’s the limit! Makes a killer gift, too.
She has a guest bedroom with clean sheets and can always throw together a quick dinner for six. Her cutlery is the nicest thing in her kitchen. She’s always ready with a quick introduction and never forgets to follow up with a thank-you note. She’s the matriarch, the host, the centerpiece of the party, and the glue that binds her social circle. She deserves the best… most of all, for never forgetting to include you.

She turned California Sober after a Sober Curious stint in 2020 and rolled into a full quit on booze. She always has a pen on hand but prefers gummies these days — and after the kids go to bed, they come out. Since she always shares, meet her where she’s at with something chic from Weedie Parker, or, better yet, some next-level munchies.

Jenni Kayne is 25% off sitewide. This boucle button pullover combines the ease of a knit with an offbeat marled texture, while this half-zip would make a great gift for just about anyone — and the price is right even without the additional discount. If you want to round out your sweater collection, this luxe oversized crewneck likens itself to The Row’s Sibem sweater for much less (and in more colorways). Finally, this slim-fit cardigan is a beautiful layering piece worn under a hefty coat come winter.
If you’ve ever wanted to shop my closet, my first drop on Basic.Space is live! Basic.Space is a curated resale platform driven by the tastes of your favorite creatives. You can shop the wardrobe of people like Emily Oberg and Jackie Shuya Tan. The app's interface is very cool — I recommend you download it and see for yourself. I’ll add more pieces soon, but for now, shop significant bargains on knits and bags from The Row and Khaite cardigans for $400.
New arrivals from Comme Si include the Studio Shirt, a button-down I’m eyeing for the smart addition of a hidden snap at the placket for styling ease.
HUGE High Sport delivery at Moda, for those anxiously awaiting their turn at the Kick Flare.
Private Sale week typically obfuscates coveted brands and discounts barred from running on traditional aggregators. So you must be logged into your respective account for the discounts to show in your cart. Still, the Net-a-Porter Rewards Private Sale, MyTheresa Private Sale, SSENSE Private Sale, and Moda Operandi Private Sale are all on, with reader-favorite sales from brands like The Row and Khaite to follow suit in the coming days. A quick and dirty edit of sale selects below. If you’re looking for everyday pieces, hit Net and MyT first. But Moda has a beautiful selection of holiday-ready pieces like this Amyra dress, this A.W.A.K.E. Mode masterpiece, and this beautiful red coat from Malene Birger. High sell-out risk!
