Greenwich Point Dermatology - OK, I know this is an aggressive statement but, the CAP Beauty facial that I had a few months ago at GPD is the best facial I’ve ever had. It is not inexpensive but it does not disappoint. You can purchase this gift confident that she will have the best experience and results!
The Drawing Room - Tea lover? Slip into another world at this part cafe, part gallery and boutique in Cos Cob, CT. Give the gift of an afternoon tea complete with their artisanal selection of loose leaf teas, fresh scones served with homemade jam and clotted cream, and finger sandwiches. We used to live around the corner from the spot and it is a gem:)
Stone Barns Center - The Farm. One of our favorite places to visit on the weekends. An annual membership for two adults starts at $90 - the gift that keeps on giving! Don’t forget to throw in a little something from the Farm gift shop.
WELLNESS
countdown fitness - This has been a game changer for me. 30 minutes only once a week. One of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of me and exercise has always been time. Or thats my excuse anyway! But Countdown solves that with their high intensity workouts which also deliver serious results. After a little over a month I’ve already seen a change in my posture and feel stronger all around. Give the gift of strength and wellness…she or he will thank you!
innerlight - Give the gift of zen with one of my favorite spots to relax…an infrared sauna at inner light in Darien, CT. You can use code GIRLGUIDEIL30 for a one time $30 discount on sauna, yoga, membership, CBD products (they also carry my favorite diffuser from Vitruvi)!
SHOPPING
Coco & Lala Watch Hill - With stores in both Watch Hill, RI and Darien, CT, Coco & Lala is one of my favorite local stops for everything from baby gifts to maxi dresses. Stop in to say hi to shannon and peruse some of my favorite brands, loveshackfancy and ba&sh.
Monarch Market - Owner and buyer Haley Kraut has an eye for all things beautiful. She is my go-to for what’s new in the jewelry world and is the one I credit for turning my minimalist style up a notch. Shop my favorite chain necklace and the rest of her site using code BLACKFRIDAY for 30% off.
Browne & Company - My go-to shop for elegant gifts at every price point. A gift card to this half cafe, half boutique would excite any woman on your list. Currently loving: The Jenni Kayne coffee table book and Chef Tracey’s chocolate chip cookies (made with almond flour).
Leallo - I discovered this brand last summer at a tiny (beautiful shop) in Sag Harbor, NY. Their lounge wear has quickly become my favorite and this lightening bolt set is currently on sale! They have the best tees too!
Chappy Wrap - Our family lives in these blankets. We take them to the beach, use them on walks with the stroller, in the car, and of course on movie night. I love this elephant style for a the perfect children’s gift. Use code HOLIDAY10 for free shipping and 10% off your purchase!
Dudley Stephens - everyone’s favorite fleece brand! You can’t go wrong with any of their styles but this one is my favorite! I also have and love these for the boys.
