SIMPLE LUXURIES

Simple luxuries; small, everyday pleasures that elevate normal experiences. Most of these items aren't break-the-bank expensive, but feel overly extravagant to buy for yourself. Make anyone's day with one of these simple indulgences.

ALEX'S FAVES

Tip top of my list, a towel warmer. Mark gave me one for my birthday last year and once you have warm towels post-shower, you can't believe you ever went without. I love this small, sleek one for under $100. 

It took me awhile to try the Donna Karen Cashmere Mist deodorant stick that everyone posts about, but it lives up to the hype. I get compliments on how I smell even when I forget to wear perfume.

Go beyond gifting a coffee table book and also gift this chic acrylic book stand for the book to be displayed on. 

GIFT A SUBSCRIPTION

Print isn't dead (yet). I love my subscriptions to Architectural Digest and Vogue. You can gift a year's worth for as low as $15. Also fun because they'll keep receiving all year.

Mark is obsessed with Cometeer coffee pods. Flash frozen gourmet coffee pods that make instant lattes, nearly the same if not better than what you get at the coffee shop. We gifted to both of our siblings last year.
