Little luxuries: Lauria’s gifts to give and get

Hi, GALs!

I’m Lauria, Beauty & Wellness Editor at The Midst. When I’m not researching and writing for you, I love to spend my time with my incredible 12-year-old son Henry, my partner Bryan, our rescue pup Bella, and our adopted kitty Mittens.

My favorite presents to give (and get!) are little pieces of luxury that add beauty to your life. These are a few of my favorite things to wrap up for the holidays…

Just Kids by Patti Smith ($11)

One of my all-time favorite books — a beautifully written memoir of Patti Smith’s relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in NYC in the late ’60s and early ’70s.

Dearfoams Furry Foldover Boot Slipper ($22)

Looooove these warm, soft, sock-like slippers for GALs that look super cute, too.

Kiehl's Creme De Corps ($49)

This decadent hydrating body cream with cocoa butter and beta-carotene will make your recipient feel like a spoiled queen — and last all winter.

Waxed Amaryllis Bulb ($16–20)

Amaryllis bulbs create a unique and festive gift that family and friends can watch grow easily and without water.

Jonathan Adler Safari Square Porcelain Tray ($48)

Obsessed with Jonathan Adler’s decor (but not his price tags), this more affordable, high-fired porcelain tray adds a bit of glam and fierceness to any diva’s home.
