Gift Guide 2: Thoughtful Finds for the Tough, Boots-Wearing Sister Who Runs Marathons and Takes Care of Everyone Around Her
Comfort for Every Season
A stonewashed cotton sweater costs $148 and comes in four colors. The guide pairs it with a bright red accent, such as socks or a scarf. A Danish umbrella is another practical option, priced at $45. For a softer everyday gift, four pairs of underwear cost $80.
Small Pleasures at Home
A dripless olive oil can costs $85 and is made by a father-and-daughter team. The piece is described as both attractive and practical for a kitchen counter. A $42 sculptural candle could go in the bathroom, alongside a fresh orange for a spa-like shower. A $7 massage ball and yoga toes are suggested for after runs, with a shoulder rub promised on the next visit.
Books, Jewelry and Beauty
Book options include Fallow, Mother Mary Comes to Me, and Land, with prices starting at $15. The guide also suggests a $58 heart bracelet or $32 stud earrings. A $23 mascara is recommended, while Tarte is said to have a sale with beauty favorites starting at $11.
Meaningful Personal Touches
Dolphin Studio’s 2027 calendar costs $92 and is its 56th version. The same family has designed the silkscreened calendar for three generations. A donation in the recipient’s name could support national parks, which she loves enough to have named her daughter after one. The publisher says it may earn affiliate commissions or have sponsored relationships, with no added cost to buyers.
