HSC 2016 Holiday Gift Guide!
The holidays are here again and the pressure is on to find the perfect gift for those ever-deserving loved ones in your life. But between juggling work, dating, family life, workouts, errands, and actually finding time to sleep; who has time to shop!? Am I right!? Well take a breath, HSC has rounded up all of our favorite must-haves that’ll make gift giving a breeze this year.
1. EGG SHOP The Cookbook
That’s right folks! Egg Shop, everyone’s go-to spot for the best egg dishes in NYC, has created a killer hardcover cookbook! Can’t even boil an egg? Not to worry. Chef Nick Korbee breaks down proper egg cooking techniques and even includes infamous Egg Shop recipes like the B.E.C., making this the perfect foodie gift.
2. Angel Shave Club Subscription
For all of the boss babes in your life; a subscription to Angel Shave Club is the ultimate beauty gift that keeps on giving...literally! This is the first mail order shave club by women, for women, that delivers high quality razors right to your door! It’s also a gift you can feel good about giving since ASC donates a portion of their proceeds to helping underprivileged girls around the world receive 12 years of education through the Malala Fund!
3. Cafe Integral Coffee Beans
Everyone can always use more coffee in their lives and Café Integral has some of the best around! Owner César Vega takes extra special care to personally source their beans from Nicaragua and bring them right to your cup. Whether you need the perfect present for the coffee connoisseur in your life or you’re bringing a hostess gift along to a holiday party, you can’t go wrong with a classic.
4. Eco-Friendly Candles from Lux & Eco
We want these in every room in our houses! Makana Studios candles from LUX & ECO are vegan, cruelty-free, non-toxic, and handmade from 100% soy wax. Not to mention they smell amazing!
5. Coffee Mug from Salt & Vine
Salt & Vine’s Rise & Wine Mug is perfect for your wine-obsessed bestie who still needs to have her morning cup. Or else...
6. Alexandra Scarlett
Give a one of a kind gift! We are obsessed with Alexandra Scarlett’s line! Minimalistic, elegant, and timeless; each limited production piece in the collection is unique and handmade by Alexandra herself. Plus, what woman doesn’t love to get jewelry!? You can’t go wrong!
7. Raw Spice Bar
Buying jars of quality exotic spices can cost a pretty penny! Why buy a whole jar when all you need is a dash here and a dash there? Raw Spice Bar’s mail order spices are an ingenious solution for all of you experimental cooks out there! Every month they’ll deliver 3 new spice packs from different regions around the world along with recipes cards to inspire you! They even make it super easy to give as a gift! Voila! Dinner is served.

This pencil set from Cool Collective on Etsy is to die for! We love the minimalist white and gold design and super cute sayings to keep you hustlin’ all day long!

9. Faucet Face Water Bottles
Give a green gift this holiday! Aside from saving your loved ones from drinking water tainted by chemical-packed plastic bottles (they can thank you for saving their lives later), you’re also reducing landfill waste and contributing to a good cause! For every bottle you buy with their Classic designs, you help provide a minimum of 100 liters of clean drinking water to families in India through the charity Third Millennium Awakening.
10. You Got This Print From Pretty Collected
We all need our own personal cheerleader, so give the gift of daily encouragement with this print from Pretty Collected on Etsy! It’s affordable and it’s a digital download so you can have it printed for all of the girl bosses in your posse!
