Gifts for Your Crew (and You!) Under $100

With all the joy of the holidays, shopping for gifts can be very overwhelming. The pressure of getting the perfect thing swirls around your head and there are so many options! My favorite gifts are the stocking stuffers that put a smile on my face ?. And the best thing about those is that they cost less than $100. You can shop for a single person or for your whole crew at a very good price point. To help bring you and your loved ones these little joys, I’ve pulled out some of my favorite KULE gifts under $100 with some extra special items (tea set! cabbage bowls! slippers!), that will win you the award of Santa Claus 2021 ?.

Let’s start with the fool-proof, no-brainers because those will surely get you the extra turkey at dinner. Your loved one will adore the bestselling Take Out sock so much, you’ll want to get yourself a pair to match. They come in both men’s and women’s sizing, too! A great couples gift. Speaking of group gifts, there is nothing more classic than a striped tee (we are the brand of striped tees!), and keeping it classic is always a score. We have this navy/cream stripe for women, men, kids, and babies too! Talk about a great holiday card…. Then there are these unisex slippers that I slip on the second I’m out of bed. I love that they actually have a sole incase my dog needs to go for a walk, which is an urgency some of you may relate to. This $50 silk sleep mask is one of the most unexpectedly luxurious and frequently used gifts I’ve ever personally received. Because it has been such a score for me, I got one for my partner who also uses it every night. If the person you are gifting lives in a city, trust me, whoever they are, they need this. The city never sleeps!

If you’re gifting someone that loves to host (truly some of the best kind of friends for obvious reasons), I am here to present the O JOY tee for holiday (Ed note: looks very chic with a two-piece suit!). Its purpose is to keep everyone around you full of joy and holiday cheer which makes for the best kind of party. Another favorite gift for a host is this chic little pouch. Every host needs a secret stash to make a party great (matches, Tide To Go, and a spritz of perfume all ready to go) and this little guy makes the perfect catch-all. I have been eyeing these cabbage bowls for some time now, and if you want to give a unique and special gift, which will be a conversation starter at parties for sure, go for green! They’re the perfect vessels to hold jelly beans, olives, or crudités, depending on palette. I know you’ve been waiting for the aforementioned tea set, and this tasting assortment will expose your loved one to more delightful flavors of teas and is also a great robust assortment for them to use to wind down guests at a party. And talk about a winning stocking stuffer! This whimsical corkscrew will be the star at any party, and is an adorable and special little guy for the person you gift to have around for some wine after a long day. But what really takes the cake is… this gorgeous hand-crafted cake stand! I love the color and love the baked goods that will sit atop even more ?.

And now for the person you want to WOW with your Santa skills so much that they exclaim, “where’d you get this!?” I direct you to some of my favorites. The kulest headgear! As a reader, you’re certainly familiar with our iconic ski masks which win winter year after year. But have you met our hoodie dickey? It’s the joy of a hoodie on a cold day, but it can pair with any tee, sweater, or other crewneck sweatshirt. It makes for a very fun gift. Another great idea to impress your loved one is a silk scarf for $78 (they don’t have to know!) and comes in navy stripe, cream stripe and leopard. It’s a classy and luxurious addition to a wardrobe. Onto other items… I know it says soap dish, but this striped (!!) ceramic piece would make the perfect catch-all for keys, headphones, etc., or of course, to hold soap. Another favorite little thing that will put a smile on your loved one’s face — and yours when they open their gift! — is this metallic ceramic vase from Anissa Kermiche. It’s special, fun, and something they’ll think of you when every time they see it. He he he. I mean, ho ho ho!

Gift Giving 101: Nikki’s Picks for the Holidays

You know it’s holiday season when we launch our gift guide, full of color, playfulness, and of course, stripes. As always, our gift guide is broken down by category so you can easily shop for the kulest people in your life. From luxe gifts, to stocking stuffers, to gifts for menkids, and furry friends, to special holiday looks, we are here to make gift giving and holiday dressing fun, easy, and successful. For our first O BOY installation, Nikki takes us on a tour of her personal picks and even gives us a few extra recommendations (including the best candle ever). We will pretty much be the best gift givers around.

To be confident that your recipient will love their gift, you can never go wrong with a KULE staple like our bestselling striped long sleeve or the playful and iconic Take Out tee. Nikki also loves the solid white Hutton shirt which would look quite good wrapped in a bow. It’s the perfect button down, tucked in or left out. Pair any of these with her favorite jeans from B Sides — the Plein — in one of their newest seasonal colorways, which Nikki herself is eying. Each is a gift that keeps giving with a million wears.

If you want to go a little bit luxe, Nikki says the Sinclair cardigan is a no brainer. We can barely keep it in stock, but replenished it for the holidays in camel, black, cream, and heather grey cozy cashmere. She says go with the camel colorway if you can’t decide. Plus, you can make it a superb Christmas morning outfit too with the matching cropped tank and joggers. Gift the cashmere a little lip color duo, like Nikki’s favorite liquid balms, which she says are thick but super nourishing (the jojoba, almond, and argan oils give it a great texture).

Nikki’s favorite sweater for the season is one of those novel luxury knits KULE is known for. In 100% cashmere and a mix of stripes (of course) it’s a staple and you may wind up keeping it for yourself. Worn over your cozy PJ’s would be a really perfect outfit for a cozy fireplace warm beverage of choice. Or if there is no fireplace, light this candle which Nikki says is the most amazing candle of all time. And on the note of luxury, she is personally eyeing this Repossi ring which happens to look really good with the aforementioned sweater….

For the really classic-dressing loved one in your life, Nikki says go for the Verne cream cable knit, the Banks striped chunky knit sweaters, or the silk McGraw button-down shirt. (Ed note: she wears each often). Each are really classic styles with a KULE twist. If you’re going for classics, a staple scent from this selection of perfumes Nikki loves from Frederic Malle.

For someone who knows how to have fun, Nikki suggests a playful sock from The Sock Bar to wear cross legged while playing a game of backgammon! She loves the boards from Sabah. Or take a page out of Edith Young’s book Color Scheme, a collection of color palettes spanning art history and pop culture that Nikki loves (and which is a beautiful coffee table book) and color palette with the multicolor Cole sweater. It’s a chunky oversized knit that’s relaxed but sophisticated.

To tie Nikki’s picks up with a bow, here are some really good stocking stuffers. Check out this crochet bandana which happens to double as a chic neck scarf. Or this cool and casual hooded dickey, in the same material as our extremely soft sweatshirts, which happens to look great paired with a crewneck sweater or tee. By the way, it’s a great accessory for flights. Hood up means do not disturb, right? Speaking of long flights… Nikki has confirmed that this natural deodorant works extremely well on a long flight and has hints of bergamot, pink lemon, orange blossom, and cardamom. Thank us later!

The Dog Days May be Over, but the Dog Collab of the Year is Here

Do you recall these extremely fun and almost painfully adorable dog hats that went pretty dog-owner viral last year? Well, KULE x Max-Bone brought them back for another spin, but this time with more pet-owner matching gear. KULE x Max-Bone has officially introduced the family outfit of the season: the reversible Simon Vest.

Sophia and Otis in their matching vests.

While one side is the KULE colors of cream/poppy/navy the other is solid navy so you and your furry friend can fit your style, but always match.

Of course we brought back the dog balaclava and now also have one for kids, too! So kids, pups, and adults can all be ski-mask chic together. Which, by the way, would make an exceptional holiday card.
