Oh, the joys of the holidays.
Each year we spend hours painstakingly searching for clever gifts to ‘surprise and delight’ friends and family while impressing them with our thoughtfulness.

But let’s face it, at the end of the day no one knows you better than you. So, check out this list of self-splurges we put together spanning bath, kitchen, and everything in between, and get the gift of giving and receiving the perfect gift this holiday season.
