What's On Ryan Dziadul's Holiday Wish List?

by Guest of A Guest · December 20, 2022

    There is simply no funnier, more fabulous person to follow than Ryan Dziadul.

    Like, we're talking stop whatever you're doing and go make sure you follow him levels of funny and fabulous.

    From his hilarious hot takes and downtown street style snaps to his epic beauty product reviews and even his most recent adventure getting back into playing the flute (!), he is everything.

    Curious to see what the PR prince has on tap this holiday season, and most importantly, what he's hoping to get?

    How do you celebrate the holidays?
    A pine-scented candle, and a two foot tall fake tree from Amazon. Voila! The holidays have arrived!

    Where will you be this season?  
    I’ll be between Boston, NYC, and Palm Beach which sounds much more jetsetter than it really is.

    Are you a last-minute or way-in-advance shopper?  
    Like every good gay, I’ve got a gift closet at home that I keep stocked year ‘round. You never know when you’re going to get invited to a last-minute fox hunt, ya know?

    What's the best gift you've ever given (or received)?
    I named a star after my bestie’s dearly departed doggie (in the Canis Major constellation, which was especially thoughtful if you ask me. Which you just did!).

    Who's the toughest to shop for on your list?
    I’d like to say my husband (mostly because I just like to give him a hard time) but I fear the truth is it’s me. I’m cursed with excellent taste. Cursed.

    What's your go-to hostess gift?
    Anything from Jonathan Adler. Everybody knows you can never have enough trinket trays.  My favorite is the Full Dose (it’s edgy and elegant – just like me! Minus the edgy, I mean).  And scratch-off lottery tickets (yes, they’re lowbrow, yes they’re fun-as-hell).

    Favorite spots around town to pick up something in person?
    The Jonathan Adler flagship on West Broadway has everything you need from candles to couture furniture – plus you might even see Jonathan himself potting in the in-house pottery studio. The babka at Breads Bakery is legendary (and they even ship!), and I can’t walk out of the new Ariston Flowers location in Union Square without some exotic frond slash man-eating plant.

    What's on your list to get?  
    I recently dusted off my flute after a 22 year hiatus and joined the Queer Big Apple Corps.  Naturally, I’ve decided I need a new flute – which costs $15k, WHO KNEW? Oh, and a refill of La Prairie’s Skin Caviar Eye Lift would be super appreciated – it’s the only thing that keeps my eyes from looking like a sharpei.

    What's on your list to give?
    Covid turned me into a connoisseur of hand sanitizers, and the best in the world is by Megababe. Spoiler alert: everybody I know is getting the biggest bottle they make.
