The Holiday Edit — How to Gift, Gather, + Host

Welcome to the Holiday Edit, a curated blueprint for a more intentional holiday season. Let’s celebrate individuality and meaningful connections—one gift or gathering at a time—with the help of some exceptionally talented Friends.

GIFTING

For thoughtful + sustainable gifts that just keep on giving, browse and book handmade pieces by emerging artists or get them a gift card to use on the service they’ve been dreaming about. Either way, you’ll make their day.

GATHERING

Do the best plans always involve an activity?? We haven’t been proven wrong yet—here are a few creative ways to bring your favorite people together this season (and maybe even cross some things off your to-do list).

Book a session with a Photographer Friend for a holiday card that actually feels like you. Your future heirloom family photo awaits!

Get your go-to’s together for a cookie baking and decorating sesh with a Chef Friend to get in the spirit.

Learn how to shake up some of the old school holiday classics with instruction from an expert.

Fry up your own latkes with guidance from a Chef Friend and dig into the toppings bar (did someone say caviar?!).

For your next get together, book a Florist Friend to teach the group how to trim and arrange your own wreaths.

HOSTING

Whether you’re a first-timer organizing an intimate dinner party or a seasoned pro throwing a wild New Year’s bash, hosting is always better with a little help.

Order thoughtful arrangements + centerpieces from a Florist Friend that perfectly match the vibe of your party.

Hire a Photographer Friend to snap shots throughout the night (because how fun will it be to look at them in the weeks, months, and years to come?!).

Whether you need an aesthetically-pleasing grazing table or passed apps, we have some Chef Friends you should meet.

You deserve to have an Event Planner Friend on-call.

Impress your guests—work with a Chef Friend on your very own holiday feast.

Cap the night off with the custom dessert of your dreams.
