Gift Guide: Treat Yo Self

As two insightful people Donna and Tom once said, “TREAT YO SELF” and we’re going to add and others too, as it’s the holidays! We saved this guide for last, as it’s whimsical, over the top, and completely out of our budget. Each of these items were chosen as experiences or things we’ve dreamed about owning. And we thought these would make great gifts for ourselves if money were no object. A $2500 wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano to roll your pasta in? Check. A pair of platforms from cool girl Nicole Saldana? Check. A trip to London and high tea at the insanely popular Sketch? Check.  6 Bespoke handbags from Olympia Le-Tan and a personal shopping trip with her atelier? Check and check. This gift guide is a mostly tongue-in-cheek guide of things we’d TREAT ourselves with if money ACTUALLY did grow on trees. Have fun with this list, and let us know would you would treat yourself to if you could, “spend your money like money ain’t shit.” Happy Holidays!
