Holiday Gift Guide: Our GofG Staff Picks For 2013

Andrea Uku, Managing Editor

Personal wish list:   After all of the indulging I plan to do over the holidays, I'm going to need something to jumpstart my fitness routine in 2014. Kickboxing is the best way to get moving without the boredom of a treadmill, and Gotham is a great place for beginners or experts. Membership to Gotham NYC, $100/month Although I've been obsessed with this Le Labo scent for years, I find it hard to spend my own money on fragrances. That's why, with a little guidance, perfume is one of my favorite presents to ask for. Le Labo Jasmin 17 Perfume, $160/50ml This is definitely a "wish" list pick, because the chances of me getting it are slim to none. When I find a bag I love, I literally wear it out, so it's time for me to retire my Theory bag that I used and abused all season. This Chloe number would be the perfect replacement for spring.  Chloe Bridget mini textured-leather shoulder bag, $1495 [Photo via, via] Gift for my fellow food-loving friends and family: Yumi Matsuo, our managing director, turned me on to Graeter's ice cream, and I can't thank her enough. Their classic flavors are amazing, but they also do special holiday flavors that will blow your friends away. Egg nog is my favorite! Graeter's Ice Cream Holiday Pack (6 pints), $60 Gift for my BFF: My best friend is a huge candle person, so these Blend Collective Unwindng Candles are a must for her! I can just see her getting cozy and relaxing with her candle, a good book and big glass of red wine! Blend Collective Unwinding Candle, $40
