A gifting list curated by Friends of the Pie
Holiday gifting can be a minefield—too safe, too last-minute, too predictable. So this year, we turned to the people whose taste we trust the most: our Friends of the Pie. Creative, stylish, and particular in all the right ways, each one has curated a trio of gifts that reflect their personality and the things they truly love.
Consider this your guide to treats you can give, receive, or quietly add to cart for yourself.
Rosalyn lee
Rozz’s edit is all about elevated essentials—quiet luxury without trying too hard, but absolutely doing the work.
1. Chanel Sublimage La Protection UV
A protective veil that feels like skincare, not sunscreen. Sublimage is Chanel’s gold standard: regenerative, glow-giving, and perfect for someone who understands the value of good skin more than good filters.
2. Service Projects Aluminum Pepper Mill
A minimalist sculpture that also grinds pepper like a dream. Industrial, solid, beautifully machined—a kitchen tool for people who appreciate craftsmanship as much as seasoning.
3. Ask & Embla Starseed Lip Cuff 2.0
Statement, but subtle. Sculptural, cosmic, and unmistakably Rozz. A small piece of jewellery that instantly changes a whole look.
PATRA B
Patra’s picks are pure nostalgia-meets-DJ-energy. If she could give the gift of a soundtrack, this would be it.
1. GPX Transparent Portable Cassette Player (Retrospekt)
A throwback in the best possible way. Clear casing, analog charm, and a legit working cassette deck. For the friend who still believes music should be held, not streamed.
2. Olivia Deano Accessories
Chunky, playful, and unapologetically bold—pieces that turn any outfit into a moment. Perfect for someone who dresses with attitude, not algorithms.
3. Numark PT01 Scratch Portable Turntable
A portable deck built for actual scratching. Compact, rugged, and begging to be brought out at gatherings. Music lovers will lose their minds.
nat cheung
Natalie’s list is quietly architectural—beautiful objects with craft and structure at their core.
1. Tanchen Studio “Jujube” Bag
A soft, sculptural everyday bag handwoven with technique and intent. It looks simple, but the construction is pure art—very Natalie.
2. To-Tetsu Cylindrical Tissue Case
This is what happens when Japanese precision meets an object everyone owns but no one upgrades. Clean lines, perfect proportions, and a small daily joy.
3. To-Tetsu Square Incense Stand
Minimal, weighty, and almost meditative. A tiny altar for your favourite incense—architecture in miniature form.
charmaine seah
Charmaine’s picks go beyond gifting; they’re little worlds and experiences wrapped up as objects.
1. Tanchen x Morning Machine Lite (Lilac)
A compact, design-led coffee partner in a dreamy lilac shell. For the friend who takes their morning ritual seriously—and aesthetically.
2. Belmond Andean Explorer (Peru)
A once-in-a-lifetime journey on one of the world’s highest luxury trains. Plush cabins, Peruvian landscapes, and the ultimate soft-adventurer experience.
3. Gohar World Lace Appliqué Apron
A kitchen apron—but couture. Whimsical hands, metallic appliqué, and that signature Gohar surrealism. Perfect for hosting, baking, or simply looking fabulous at home.
