GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Objects
Our two-part series of gifts by locals, for locals, wraps with a handful of picks from sweet scents to the sweet science. Part I is here.
→ PerfumeHead’s LA LA Love Extrait de Parfum ($395): This small-batch perfume smells like sexy LA: Chateau Marmont, the morning after, a smoke with a lover (respectively: notes of cognac, vanilla absolute, and smoked amber).
→ Band of Flowers’s Happy + Bright Tea ($52): This new LA-based tea brand might actually be too pretty to unpack. But the blend promises a host of wellness benefits that might make your gift recipient tear right through the box.
→ Violet Grey’s Holiday Heroes Box ($275, above): Uber-chic Violet Grey owner Cassandra Grey curates this collection of products from Victoria Beckham Beauty and Westman Atelier, among others. So stunning, it’ll have even non-beauty obsessives looking forward to their morning routine.
→ Sarah Hendler’s Pave Shirley Bezel Set Emerald Cut Ring ($3200): Jewelry maven Sarah Hendler (who also curates vintage baubles) makes pieces you won’t want to take off. This one, in pink topaz and diamonds, is a gift that will look good on its recipient (or you) for years to come.
→ Banwood’s Protective Gear ($59): Year-round sun means more scraped-up knees and elbows for LA kids, whether at the skate park or biking around the neighborhood. Give the gift of protection while ensuring that they look cool while playing.
→ Gallery Dept Boxing Merch Hoodie ($595): Boxing buffs know that the best way to show off their love for the sport is by wearing a hoodie from LA's most cultish brand. –Zoe Schaeffer
