Kyle Anderson, Accessories Director
To get: "I'd like to receive this classic Saint Laurent leather biker jacket. I have a lot of leather coats, but at the end of the day, I always buy one that's too trendy. This one looks like the classic, and I wish I had it in my wardrobe."

Marisa Carroll, Editorial Assistant
To give: "Having this Tivoli Model One radio in my kitchen has changed the way I do weekend mornings. My iPhone and iPad are my lifelines, but putting them down and turning up the dial—whether it's to NPR, top 40, or, soon enough, 24/7 Christmas music—makes Sundays extra sweet. Just add coffee."

Marisa Carroll, Editorial Assistant
To get: "I'm already dying for winter to be over, and it hasn't even started yet. I'm counting down the days until spring so I can jump back into my vegetable garden, which would be oh-so-grateful for this awesome composter. Plus, composting cuts down on waste to make the whole earth (not just my tomatoes) happy."

Julia Felsenthal, Senior Editor
To give: "I love the idea of finding one perfect object and buying it in bulk to dole out to every person you owe a present to. My 2014 uni-gift might just be these gorgeous block-printed scarves from LA/India-based textile company Block Shop. As a bonus gift, my friends and family will enjoy matching all year long."

Julia Felsenthal, Senior Editor
To get: "If someone very, very nice were to buy me these funky Mociun sun moon earrings, I might finally get up the courage to have my ears pierced like an adult human."

17 of 26
Hallie Gould, Social Editor
To give: "I'm constantly searching for gifts that are both personal and practical with a hint of whimsey. These tiny earrings are just that. You can spell out anything: a name, a set of initials, or a playful inside joke. Plus, they're affordable and small enough to wear every day."
18 of 26
Hallie Gould, Social Editor
To get: "In anticipation of the release of Joan Didion’s documentary, I’ve been rereading my favorites of her work. The White Album, a tall order record of Didion’s life in the late 1960s and early '70s—including Black Panther Party meetings, a Doors recording session, and ever-present spiritual confusion—is next on my list."

Tara Lamont-Djité, Contributer
To give: "In an ideal world, I would love to give sets of these stunning sheets from Frette to all my friends and family. The thread count is amazing, making them some of the softest sheets I've ever slept in. And you can't put a price on a great night's sleep."

Carolina O'Neill, Fashion Writer
To give: "ThisIsGround makes the coolest leather travel accessories in a good assortment of colors.

Packing things like cords is always annoying, and this is a chic and organized way to do it. And how can you not laugh at the clever names?"
