Say hello to our annual Holiday Gift Guide, where every week we turn to our favorite tastemakers for inspiration on what—and how—to give this season. And who better to kick off this series than with Jenni herself? Her signature style and ease extend to gifting like every other lane in her life—with intention at the forefront. Here, she shares her favorite holiday traditions, wrapping details, and the pieces she’s loving for everyone on her list.

Rip & Tan: What’s your approach to gifting this year?

Jenni Kayne: Gifting for me is always about finding thoughtful, meaningful gifts for those I love. I always add something I am loving, like our Sun Valley Candle or Aspen Candle, that I can prewrap and have at the ready as a gift to give to everyone or bring as a hostess gift throughout the holiday season.

Rip & Tan: How do you find the right gift for different people in your life?

Jenni Kayne: I love to curate gifts in a meaningful way, thinking about what I am loving and who I am giving something to, to ensure they will love it.

Rip & Tan: Do you have a signature way of wrapping gifts?

Jenni Kayne: I try to do something different every year–this year, I am using black or chocolate matte paper with black or chocolate chiffon ribbon and a natural topper.
