The Byline

Holiday Gift Guide

In a sea of gift guides, this one stands out. Or at least we think it does.

Apparently, gifts are a love language. But that’s only if it’s a good gift. Otherwise it doesn’t count for anything. That’s why we put together the first-ever, carefully made, tirelessly curated, thorough as heck, Byline Gift Guide. That’s right. We stayed up late and worked on weekends just to make sure we were delivering a list of the actually good gifts that will put you in good graces with your loved ones. It’s the stuff we want for ourselves, the stuff we keep in our saved folders and bookmarked tabs. Whether your giftee is all about getting a ‘fit off or whipping up something special in the kitchen or nesting at home, our guide has something for them. We went deep. We hope you enjoy it. And tell us what you get!

Cloud 9

Cotton undies. Ceramic spongeware. A cloud-printed kite! In honor of our Cloud 9 issue, we dedicated a section of our gift guide to those soft, cozy, and uplifting items that inspire… well, cloud 9 bliss. We also threw our very own hat in there, because we remade them just for you.

Home + Leisure

Design meets delight in this edit, an ode to living beautifully and definitely a little eccentrically. Add silver swan whimsy to your lemon squeezing habits with Gohar World’s Lemon Squeezer, but add the necessary structure with the equally stackable/stashable and stylish Storage Case Set by Penco. Scent your space with Santa Maria Novella Burning Papers, an aroma best described as vintage apothecary meets campfire dream. All goods for the home, but make it poetic.
