Bobbi Brown is effortlessly cool. So, it’ll come as no surprise that her gifting ideas are too. The legendary makeup artist and founder of Jones Road has perfected the art of giving (and receiving) thoughtful, timeless presents — from luxe scarves to her favorite cashmere socks.
She recently shared her go-to gifts with E! so you can spread her luxe everyday pieces, plus some really great beauty buys to everyone on your list this year.
When it comes to gifting, the makeup icon believes in personalization over price. “Think of something people truly love,” she said. “My assistants at work know how much I love caviar; it’s one of my favorite gifts. I also appreciate a really good olive oil, a pair of soft cashmere socks. Those are definitely on my list this year, both to give and to get.”
“I love simple things — the basics with a little bit of luxury,” she continues. “For me, one of my favorite gifts to both give and receive is a Louis Vuitton scarf. It’s so simple and elegant. There are a few colors I have my eye on, and it’s the kind of gift that always works.”
Her most meaningful gifts, though, are deeply personal. “My favorite gifts, which are so easy, are pictures of my grandchildren in frames. I look at them every day,” she said. “One of my other favorite photos is of my three boys at one of my son’s weddings. They must have had a lovely cocktail because they all look so happy and have their arms around each other…but it’s one of my favorite photos.”
