Holiday Gift Guide 2025

Welcome to my 2025 Holiday Gift Guide — a collection for those who find meaning in the details.

As the weather starts to turn and wedding season winds down, I find myself drawn back to the quiet details — the way a scent lingers, how candlelight softens a room, or how a gift can feel like a reflection of the giver.

I’m Averi, founder and creative director of Jasper & Lane Events, and my world revolves around moments — the ones that feel deeply considered and alive with texture. This time of year, I wanted to gather pieces that speak to that same sense of intention: gifts that engage the senses, honor rest, and elevate the simple act of giving.

Holiday Gift Guide 2025

For the Senses — Fragrance, Ritual & Repose

Scent anchors memory — it becomes the quiet signature of a moment, the invisible design element that lingers long after.

Henry Rose Perfume — Dave, Torn, Sheep’s Clothing, and Char are endlessly wearable. Genderless and layered, they feel more like a mood than a fragrance.

Flamingo Estate  — Roma Heirloom Tomato and Climbing Tuscan Rosemary are earthy and nostalgic — the scent equivalent of a California garden at golden hour. They just dropped their holiday scents, snag some before they’re gone.

Printfresh Pajamas — hand-drawn prints, organic cotton, and a silhouette that fits every body. A joyful blend of comfort and craft — the kind of piece that turns rest into ritual.

🖤 Black-Owned Business: Brown Girl Jane Fragrances — soulful, grounded, and designed to meet you wherever you are in your day.

💫 Signature Scent Moment: One of my favorite indulgences for a wedding weekend (or any celebration, really) is creating a signature fragrance that carries through the experience — the welcome boxes, the bridal suite, the candlelit dinner. It’s such a powerful sensory cue for memory. My personal favorite? Le Labo Verveine 32 — a clean, herbal scent that’s been quietly living on my desk for months.

For the Table: Gather & Glow

Design doesn’t end with a wedding — it’s the rhythm of how we live and host. The table, especially during the holidays, becomes its own kind of stage: layered with story, light, and belonging.

Our Place Dishware — soft tones, curved edges, and an ease that makes every meal feel intentional.

Jungalow by Justina Blakeney — a joyful celebration of color, pattern, and home — pieces that remind you design can still feel like play.

💫 Splurge Spotlight: Mrs. Alice —I’ve seen Mrs. Alice pieces used in weddings by talented vendor friends, and every time, the result is unforgettable. Her collections bring that signature mix of romance and refinement — from pastel stemware to rattan placemats and scalloped napkins. They’re perfect for elevating your design or becoming keepsakes in your home long after the celebration ends.

For the Traveler — Escape, Rest, Return

For the one who finds home in motion. These are for early flights, long weekends, and moments of quiet between itineraries.

Béis Travel Luggage — structured, beautiful, and functional. I’ve fallen for the new tones: warm, modern, and effortlessly chic. They feel like a continuation of your personal aesthetic, not a departure from it. My favorite color swatches? Maple and Burgundy

Aesop Jet Set Kit — travel-sized indulgence for skincare minimalists.

The Jet Lag Routine — Travel can take as much out of your skin as your schedule. The Jet Lag Routine from Summer Fridays is a simple, hydrating reset — the kind of skincare ritual that brings you back to center after long flights or wedding weekends. Their Jet Lag Mask is an instant refresh, leaving skin calm, dewy, and rested.

✈️ For gifting or travel, try the Jet Lag Essentials Kit — a mini trio of their bestsellers that fits perfectly in your carry-on and feels like a moment of care on the go.

👗 Size-Inclusive Addition: Girlfriend Collective — comfortable, well-cut travel wear that feels good on every body and in every setting.

For the Romantic — Keepsakes & Meaning

At Jasper & Lane, romance is never performative — it’s layered, grounded, and personal. These are the keepsakes and artisans that hold that same energy: meaning stitched into every detail.

Artifact Uprising Layflat Album — the art of turning photographs into tactile stories.

💍 Southern California Romantic Finds:

• Zepplin the Label — effortlessly elegant pieces that blend ease and polish, handmade in Southern California for those who value timeless over trend.

• Chouette Designs — a favorite of mine for their inclusive sizing, custom creations, and the way every design feels quietly confident.

Both designers create pieces that remind me why I love working with artists who see romance as a lived experience — something soft, strong, and deeply personal.

For the Soul — Self-Care, Slow Days, Stillness

The most generous gift we can give ourselves is presence. These pieces are an invitation to pause — to exhale before the next beginning.

Ranavat Royal Skin Discovery Set — an Ayurvedic-inspired pairing for moments when your skin needs more than just repair — it needs ritual.

The Qi Blooming Teas — tea blossoms that unfold in the cup — a visual reminder to slow down and take it in.

💫 Southern California Small-Maker Spotlight:
Bathorium — elevated bathing rituals made with clean ingredients and designed for sensory escape. Their CRUSH Bath Soak is a personal favorite for winding down after long design weekends.

Closing Reflection:Holiday Gift Guide 2025 — On Gifting & Gathering

This collection isn’t about extravagance. It’s about awareness — of what feels good, what lasts, and what connects us to one another.

Whether you’re wrapping a present, setting a table, or simply creating space for stillness, may these ideas bring a little more beauty into your season.
