Â
hey guys & dolls,
Â
just checking in from my little corner of harlem with a hot latte in hand (of course) and all the holiday-mood vibes starting to stir. if youâre anything like me, youâve been quietly scanning the deals, thinking about gifts, and maybe wondering when the best time is to jump in. well â the time is now.
Â
iâve scoured the sale links and picked my favorite finds for you: things i actually use, things that feel meaningful, and must-gift ideas that wonât feel like âjust another deal.â whether youâre shopping for yourself (yes, you deserve it) or for someone you love, iâve got a curated list ready.
Â
also take a look at
my blog post with even more deals for you.

Â
đ my curated Black Friday picks
here are just a few of the finds youâll want to tap:
Â
- a favorite for cozy evenings, perfect for self-care.
- giftable, stylish, and supports a smaller brand youâll love.
- NYC-friendly must-have: compact, chic, and built for city living.
- limited-time deal â be sure to grab it before itâs gone.
Â
(full list of picks is in the link below so you can browse at your own pace.)
Â
Â
đď¸ how to use this e-mail:
- Start with one meaningful piece â luggage or a weekend bag for someone who travels, or the Trio for a host or friend.
- Add one extra small gift â like the lip set â to cover more people on your list without overâspending.
- Check stock early â BF deals are great but items move. These picks are intentionally strong, practical buys you wonât regret.
Â
đď¸ why this matters
holiday shopping doesnât have to mean chaos. for me, itâs about thoughtful choices, finding joy in giving and receiving, and supporting brands that align with the values i carry (quality, authenticity, NYC-grounded). plus, jumping in now means you beat the rush â get gifts on time, treat yourself, and avoid the last-minute stress.
Â
this holiday season allow me to be the one guiding you and if you ever need links for anything let me know! I make pennies but the pennies help me create content for you!Â

Â
â a little city moment before you shop
i took a walk this morning through harlem as the sun rose and the world felt still for a moment. i thought about holiday lights, upcoming vlogs, and how this season always gives me the space to reflect and give back. while youâre browsing deals, maybe take a minute with me â a slow sip, a pause, and a reminder that holiday magic doesnât start with the sale, it starts with noticing.
