Dianna Cohen’s Holiday Gift List
Your Approach to Gifting:
My approach to holiday gifting is all about choosing thoughtful presents that spark joy and bring unexpected delight to someone’s life. I love gifting items that people might not think to treat themselves to, but will truly appreciate and enjoy.
What You’d Like to Receive:
A watch is such a timeless piece. I’ve had mine for 15 years, and I recently treated my husband to a beautiful watch for his 40th birthday—and it completely reignited my own desire to invest in a new one for myself. There is something so special about gifting or owning a watch to celebrate a milestone in life.
Something You’re Looking Forward to this Season:
Spending time with my family during the holidays is a top priority for me, so I make it a point to drive to see my parents, sister, and nieces as often as possible. And this time of year, I really take full advantage of living in Miami–Sunday beach days have become a special ritual for my husband and me. It’s the perfect way to unwind and make the most of living in a place that can sometimes feel like vacation.
How You’re Getting into the Holiday Spirit:
Around this time of year, I start making small shifts to welcome in the season. We’ll change up the menu we’re making at home and cook some heartier meals (sweet potatoes are on heavy rotation right now), and I’ve been adding a dash of cinnamon to my coffee. This time of year also makes me crave cozy things, so I’ll bring a cashmere sweater with me wherever I go—like traveling to the cold, or for the AC in South Florida.
