Holiday Gift Guide: What We Are Loving This Holiday Season

Happy November! We can’t believe how quickly this holiday season is approaching. Here at LHS, we love sharing our favorite items when it comes to curating the perfect gift for someone in your life (or if you want to do a little holiday shopping for yourself!)

We’ve compiled some of our favorite items from Domain, as well as some of our favorite online and local Maryland shops. Keep reading for a little gift-giving inspiration…

 

For Those Who Love Tea

If you know a tea lover in your life, we’ve got you covered! There is nothing like cozying up with a cup of tea during the holiday season.

Tea Diffuser with Dual Use Coaster

We love looseleaf tea and this diffuser makes brewing a cup or pot even easier. Simply fill the strainer with your favorite looseleaf tea, attach the lid, place inside your cup, and add boiling water. The included lid doubles as a coaster to hold the diffuser and prevent drips after steeping.

Chai Me Up Loose Tea

One of our favorite blends, this chai looseleaf tea is the perfect fall-winter holiday blend. Paired with the diffuser above, this set is the perfect gift!

Breville Tea Maker

This Breville Tea Maker is perfect for brewing all of your favorite loose leaf teas. Simply press a button and watch as the basket descends gracefully into the water. Set the timer and wake up to your favorite brew.

Milk Frother

We love our milk frother for upgrading our at-home lattes! Adding a little foamed milk to our tea = increased coziness.

For Those Who Just Want to be Cozy…Because Who Doesn’t?

Gray Organic Cotton Comfy Knit Throw

The coziest and comfiest cotton knit throw, comes in a soft gray and  a beautiful stone hue. Made from 100% organic cotton, it’s a favorite for a reason.

DOMAIN Ceramic Small Sweet Orange + Moroccan Spice Candle

One of our favorite classic scents, our sweet orange and Moroccan spice candle will warm your home and create the coziest feel.

Nootkas Women's Astoria Wool House Slippers

Staying cozy at home in the cooler months almost always requires slippers. We love these soft and cozy hand felted slippers made from responsibly sourced New Zealand wool. They are the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one!

Anthropologie Harvest Plaid Blanket Scarf

Oversized for maximum coziness, this autumn toned plaid scarf is the perfect fall-winter companion for chilly days.


For Those Who Love Skincare

We love curating our face and body care selections at Domain. It is something we value in our daily routine, and we love being intentional with the products we use on our skin.

Little Seed Farm Elasticity Serum

Tried and true, we love the LSF Elasticity Serum all year, but especially in the chillier fall and winter months. A skin supportive blend of organic essential oils including rosemary, mint, geranium, and lavender offers a refreshing aromatherapeutic experience.

Rose Quartz Facial Roller

Paired with your favorite serum (or the Elasticity Serum!) this roller is the perfect addition to your AM/PM skincare routine. After applying your favorite serum, the facial roller glides over your skin and helps your skin absorb the product. We also love placing our roller in the fridge or freezer to create a cooling effect.

Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum

It has remained a forever favorite for a reason! The Vintner’s Daughter Botanical Serum may be one of our most favorite skincare products. (Laura has convinced us all to try it in our own skincare routines!)

Wildling Empress Tool Duo

These two tools create the ideal at-home facial – the empress stone is designed to sculpt and reinvigorate the skin while the empress wand is designed to relieve tension in the face and jaw. We love using these with our favorite serum to unwind and relax.

For Those Who Want a Spa Night (All the Time)

We believe that taking the time to pamper yourself is essential to self care, so we compiled some of our favorite products for unwinding…

Peppermint Body Scrub by Earth Elements

Our all-natural peppermint body scrub is the perfect way to unwind. The soothing and refreshing properties of peppermint oil help relieve stress and relax muscles while providing gentle exfoliation to brighten dull skin.

Sage Essential Mist

We love that this sage mist is made locally from our friends at Star Bright Farm. For centuries, sage has been used to cleanse the air in a space, purify toxins and elevate your mood.

Kate McLeod Stone

Another forever favorite, the Kate McLeod body stones are the perfect addition to your post bath / shower routine. Body Stones soften on contact with warm, dry skin. Gliding on like silk, they melt and absorb, leaving skin soft, supple, and glowing. We especially love the warm chocolate scent of their naked stone!

Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Honey Mask

We love unwinding with a face mask, especially this Origins mask. It is both gentle and purifying, leaving our skin feeling nourished, clean and clear.


For Those Who Love Handmade Jewelry

We love supporting local artisans whenever possible, so it is even more important to us during the holiday shopping season.

Citrine Mood Boosting Drops

One of our favorites, the Citrine Mood Boosting Drops by Wild Sol are sure to brighten your mood. Citrine is known to be an uplifting stone, reminiscent of sunshine!

Curve Threader Earrings

Simple and a staple to your earring collection, these Curve Threader Earrings are handmade in America and will elevate any look.

In Watermelon Sugar’s Jewelry Selection

Another local favorite, we love In Watermelon Sugar’s selection of handmade jewelry. Located in the heart of Hampden, they always have beautiful handmade jewelry selects.

Lava Rock & Wood Hoop Earrings

We love supporting our local friends at Poppy and Stella. Handcrafted in NJ, these lava rock wood hoop earrings are the perfect unique twist.


For Those Who Love Sweets

Everyone has a bit of a sweet tooth, especially when it comes to the holiday season. We find ourselves snacking on lots of sweets at Domain, but especially our MAST chocolate…

MAST Sea Salt Chocolate

Simple and sweet, any of our MAST chocolate bars will be the perfect stocking stuffer or little gift for a co-worker or friend.

MAST Mini Mint Chocolate

We also love our mini bars which create the perfect addition to any gift.

The Chai Box Sweet Monsoon Gift Set

The perfect curated bundle and made with freshly picked spices from small scale farmers in Kerala, India, this set is the perfect fall blend.

Charlsie’s Bakehouse

If you’re local to Maryland, we love supporting our neighbors! Check out Charlsie’s Bakehouse for a few sweet treats. They are always rolling out new sweets and are offering pre-order this season for special orders!


For Candle Lovers

We love candles and enjoy taking care of them just as much! Curate a candle lover bundle with some of our favs…

DOMAIN Ceramic Small Cedar Vanilla Candle

Another signature scent, our DOMAIN ceramic cedar vanilla candle will warm any space it is in.

Antique Brass Wick Trimmer

When we say that we love taking care of our candles, we are usually referring to this tool. We love our antique brass wick trimmer, but we also have it in a sleek black matte color way as well.

Siblings Candles

We absolutely love Siblings for their new approach to candles - they are a radically different DIY candle with luxury-level scents, clean ingredients and 100% compostable packaging. Simply microwave the bag for 2 minutes, pour the liquid wax into your favorite vessel and then let it sit + enjoy!

Etched Fern Candle Holder

We love styling with candle holders like this one, and we can contest that it looks beautiful and cozy in a dimmed space!


For Those Who Love Lavender

Known for its calming effects and relaxation inducing qualities, lavender is the perfect cozy fall + winter season scent.  

Lavender Essential Oil by Vitruvi

We recently introduced Vitruvi products to our shop and we cannot get enough of them! The lavender essential oil is the perfect addition to your diffuser line-up.

Lavender Body Butter by Earth Elements

Crafted with all natural and quality ingredients, our lavender body butter will calm and hydrate your skin. We love applying this at night before bed to help us relax and unwind.

French Lavender Bundle from Walter Pine Floral Studio

One of our favorite shops in Philly, Walter Pine Floral Studio is the perfect gift destination if you’re in the city! Luckily, they have many of their gifts online, and this bundle is the perfect gift for anyone who adores lavender.

Linnea Lavender Rosemary Candle

Light and herbal with scents of chamomile, lavender, and rosemary, this candle is the perfect addition to any lavender lover’s candle collection.


For Those Who Are Hard to Shop For…We all have someone

We all have someone in our life that is hard to shop for, whether it seems like they have everything, or you are just not sure what to get them. We hand-selected some of our favorites that will be perfect for anyone in your life.

The perfect experiential gift, we love treating our friends and family to classes at the Culinary Craft Workshop.

The Little Market Sugar Scrub Flight

The perfect self-care treat, this collection of sugar scrubs is the perfect way to treat someone who deserves an at-home spa day. We also love that The Little Market also supports artisans and producers in underserved communities globally.


For Those Who Love a Tranquil Space

Creating a calming space that you can feel comfortable in became so important to us, especially during quarantine when we had to be at home. One of our favorite ways to create a calm vibe is through essential oil diffusers.

Stone Diffuser by Vitruvi

Our stone Vitruvi diffuser has quickly become one of our favorites – it is simple and modern in design and even has a light feature for an ambient candle-like glow. We love running this during the daytime with the sweet orange or bergamot scents for an uplifting, fall inspired scent, or with lavender at night for a relaxing effect.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil by Vitruvi

The sweet orange essential oil is one of our favorites, especially in the AM or before a big meeting / special event. Its uplifting and bright scent brings us joy and excitement.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil by Vitruvi

The eucalyptus essential oil is another one of our favorite scents, especially in the AM, before or after a shower, or during the cold + flu season. Eucalyptus is known to help alleviate sinus pressure and allergies.  

Grove Co Essential Oil Burner

Made of sustainable bamboo and ceramic, this little essential oil burner combines the power of candlelight and essential oils to transform your room into a spa.

We’ve curated the perfect mix for your farmer’s market lovers, including baskets and essentials that they will appreciate for market day (and post market.)
