Ella Rose, founder of Skin by Ella Rose, shares her top holiday gifting tips—from the perfect gift for the person who has everything to the most unique finds, and the best last-minute ideas.
What’s a go-to gift for someone who has everything?
BonBon Candy is the best. It was the first thing my boyfriend got me before we were dating.
Best housewarming gift?
A Staub Dutch Oven—they just look so chic in everyone’s kitchen.
Favorite homemade gift to get?
I once got a hand-knitted matching scarf and beanie, which was just the sweetest thing.
Best stocking stuffer?
Skin by Ella blush crème.
Best last-minute gift idea?
An experience, anything that you can book online because you can just hop on your computer and book it. I always love receiving an experience with someone over a tangible gift.
Best store for unique gifts?
Etsy. I love shopping on Etsy for gifts. I once got a custom ice cube mold with funny sayings on the bottom that were inside jokes and I use it all the time when making drinks at home.
Best gift for a co-worker?
I think it’s really nice to do something you’ve talked about before. Maybe there was a product they asked you about or something you recommended. I always like to get that so they finally get to try it!
Most memorable gift received?
My good friend got me a custom dog collar for my pup. She wears it every single day and loves it.
What is the best gift card to give?
I love giving a gift card to a restaurant that I’ve recommended they try, and then they finally get to go try it!
Secret Santa or White Elephant?
White Elephant.
Bringing a candle or a bottle of wine?
It totally depends on the person.
Bring a dessert or an app?
A dessert!
When in doubt, everyone loves…
A handmade custom mug from a custom Brooklyn artist. Stay tuned! Or a Skin by Ella lip oil.
Happy Holidays!
