Jaslyn and Andrew met during college when they both were studying abroad. Jaslyn remembers, “On the second night of our program, a group of us headed out for a tapas crawl. I immediately noticed Andrew – he has a voice that carries across the room and makes everyone feel like a good friend.” Andrew was struck by Jaslyn’s warm smile and contagious laugh. Over cocktails, they each felt a spark. For the next six weeks, they were inseparable, traveling to different countries, going on date after date, and getting to know each other.

When it comes to shopping for girlfriends this holiday season, it’s the thought and intention behind the gift that matters most, not the amount of money you spend. This sentiment is especially true for the friend who is busy planning for her upcoming nuptials in 2024. To get inside her head and figure out what she really wants, start by asking yourself what you would appreciate if in her same position. New home goods such as coasters and luxury sheets, or a wardrobe refresher such as a winter poncho all spark joy in the life of someone who is eye-ball deep in wedding spreadsheets. To help you nail the perfect present for the bride-to-be on your list, we put together this guide outlining the best holiday gift ideas for her in 2023.

As the season turns and a crisp chill takes to the air, nothing feels more comforting than coming home and lighting a few candles.
