Hello Red Clay Soldiers! Jay asked me to share my side of the gift guide this year — the things I’ve loved, used, or have been quietly hinting about for months. I can’t fit them all into one guide, so here’s part one. Some are practical, some are indulgent, and a few are just plain fun. Here are a few of my favorite things that I know your better halves will love:
From Top Left:
1. Tiffany & Co. Bone Cuff: Jay gave me this about ten years ago, and besides my engagement ring, it’s the piece of jewelry I wear the most. Timeless, bold, and beautiful — it goes with everything.
2. Lilysilk Silk/Wool Oversized Shirt: So chic and effortless. It pairs with just about everything — jeans, leather pants, skirts — and always looks elevated.
3. Borsalino Hat: We all have plenty of beige… add some fun, seasonal color to mix things up!
4. The V One Piece Swimsuit: The kid-free trip suit. Pair this with plane tickets to South Beach or St. Barth… trust me.
5. Higurashi Secateurs: I’ve gotten really into gardening over the past year, and I appreciate these more than I can say. Beautifully made and satisfyingly sharp.
6. Cordee Phone Case & Strap: In a fun color so she doesn’t lose it at the bottom of her purse (again).
7. Saint Jane Lip Oil: The perfect stocking stuffer. Go ahead and give her three — one for the car, one for the purse, and one for backup.
8. BKR 22 oz. Water Bottle: I try to drink four of these a day. I swear water tastes better from glass than plastic — and they look great sitting on your desk or nightstand.
9. HigherDose PEMF Mat: Yep. Worth every penny. Recovery, relaxation, and total reset.
10. A Great Fiction Book: Because sometimes the best gift is quiet time and a story that pulls you in.
11. A Greenhouse: This would pair perfectly with #5 — keeps those blooms going all year long.
12. Nili Lotan Beauvais Suide Jacket: Total splurge, but wow… what a superstar piece. It’s one of those jackets you’ll have forever.
13. Balmain Clutch: Another splurge, but OMG — it’s perfect. Elegant, modern, and just the right amount of statement.
Part Two coming tomorrow…
Best list yet- lots of variety and price points. Tell Mrs. RCS thank you from all of us fellas.
Looking forward to part II.
Great iideas for my Xmas list for my better half! Thanks!
