The beauty of a sibling is that if you were to give them a slightly passive aggressive gift, they’ll still love you. Case in point: Hermès’s Plein Air Blotting Papers. They’re undeniably stylish—they’re watermarked with Hermès’s signature “H” for crying out loud—but your sibling will still probably ask what you’re trying to say. You’re on your own there.
For the sibling who spent a large chunk of time scrolling through #SkinTok this year, you can’t lose with Sofie Pavitt’s Nice Ice. These toner pods, created by New York City’s It facialist, are formulated with glycerin, niacinamide, green tea extract, and ashwagandha to soothe skin, whether it was irritated by a long day in the sun or a run-of-the-mill breakout. If #BookTok was more their speed, pick up Clare Daverly’s debut novel Talking At Night for them. It’s especially perfect for those with a Normal People-shaped hole in their hearts. And for the #FilmTok girlies, look to Sofia Coppola’s Archive, a 488-page look at the making of her eight films, 2023’s “Priscilla” included.
When all else fails, there’s always Sonny Angels—you know, the delightfully weird, pocket-sized dolls adorned with wings and headgear resembling all sorts of things, from vegetables to fruit to flowers. Bella Hadid shared her collection of cherubs—who you might be surprised to hear were created specifically for stressed out 20-somethings—on Instagram earlier this year, and they’ve also gotten so popular that groups keep popping up to swap the collectibles. Cute, supermodel-approved emotional support that hovers around $10? Do we need to say more?
