For The Homebody

Like many people during the pandemic, expectant parents Luis and Nicole Quinones finally found the time to pursue their passion for making things by hand and started their own business Hickory Grove Co. in 2020. You can support the Hispanic-owned, Marietta-based business by purchasing their handcrafted soy candles, cold-processed bars of soap and more. Stocking stuffers anyone?

For The Happy Holiday Host

Atlanta resident Rachel Katz is breaking down wine-buying barriers. At her new online wine shop Starbright Wine, you can take a short quiz to find wines suited to your special someone’s taste or ones that will expand his or her palate. You can even text with a real wine aficionado. The best part? You can have the wine delivered right to your happy hostess’ door complete with gorgeous gift wrap. Details: www.starbrightwine.com

For The One In Need of A Spa Day

Whether your special someone is a spa regular or a mom in need of pampering the latest craze is Dermafiling! At Institut’ DERMed Spa, the new procedure functions as a gentle alternative to microdermabrasion by using a small skin-polishing and resurfacing tool made of stainless steel and finely crushed cosmetic diamonds. Unlike microdermabrasion, which can be tough on sensitive skin types, Dermafiling can be a good alternative for those with rosacea or mature skin. Details: www.idermed.com

For The Hard-To-Gift Brew Bud

We all know sometimes men can be hard to shop for! Go beyond a physical gift and get your dad, brother, or significant other an experience to remember with Southern Beer Tours. Departing out of Buckhead, you’ll hop and off the beer bus along this 4.5-hour Atlanta Brewery Tour which features three stops at top craft breweries and complimentary pints.

For The Mid-Life Lover

Midlife is often a time of self-reflection, and there are few better ways to look inward than to read. “50 Questions to Answer When You Reach 50,” a new book from Best Self Atlanta 2019 Over 40 & Fabulous! Fab 5 winner Kwavi Agbeyegbe, features thoughtful questions to help your favorite friend over 40 live each day with intention. Details: www.kwavi.com
