‘Tis the season for a gift guide! As I say every year, the Slow Morning Diaries gift guide is not like the hundreds of other guides you’ve been seeing EVERYWHERE these past few weeks. This gift guide is short, because it only includes items that I personally have, used, and can recommend with my whole heart. They are worthy of gifting loved ones and yourself, and can last far beyond the hype of the holiday season.

Ceramic Pourover - I cannot get over how cute the egg design is.
Museum Membership - This is such a special gift because it’s lasts an entire year and gives someone access to so much local gems.
Pizza Hair Claw - I get compliments on this constantly. Maybe it’s a NYC/NJ thing… but it’s so much fun.
rhode Peptide Lip Treatment - Hands down, my favorite lip balm. It’s especially perfect for the colder seasons.
Campsnap Camera - Think disposable camera, minus any developing. The photos come out in an incredible, nostalgic film style.
Trade Coffee Subscription - My absolute favorite place to get coffee, especially because the selections are curated just for the person. *link has a free bag of coffee included!
Iced Beverage Sleeve - This will come in handy for iced beverage lovers, trust.
Nowadays Drink - For people seeking an alternative to alcohol, this one is my favorite.
Homes is Where the Eggs Are by Molly Yeh - Not just any cookbook! This feels like a love letter to each and every recipe included.
Custom Corded Sweater - I particularly love the slouchy fit and knitted wording.
Portable Thermal Printer - I’m so done with traditional printers. This has yet to give me a headache and does exactly what I need it to!

Beis Luggage - I never thought I’d care much about luggage, but these made me realize how easy life can be if you have a great bag.
Kindle Paperwhite - I don’t get why the new ones are so expensive, this one works great!
Calpak Luka Duffel - Another reminder that your bag choice can actually make life more convenient! This is THE perfect weekender.
Paper Republic Journal - One heck of a special gift to give, as it will last a lifetime.
Epomaker RT 100 - For the fellow ASMR office workers, this is the perfect intro to mechanical keyboards. I have the Wisteria switches.
$200+
Steam Deck - This is for the gamers and those seeking to play computer games on a portable device! This thing is a powerhouse, worth every penny if you frequently (or want to frequently) play.
Oura Ring - These can get pricey, but some are on the more affordable side! I personally think it’s worth the hype, especially because there are constant updates to improve/bring new features to the experience.
