2020 Luxury Gift Guide by Jessica Nabongo
diptyque scented candles
One of my favorite scented candles, the diptyque Baies and Roses are a classic, yet unexpected pairing that not only complement each other but simultaneously create a third scent. Diptyque candles make for a unique gift for anyone in your life as they not only smell heavenly, but are also a chic addition to any interior. The glass jar can be reused even after the candle burns down as a vase, brush pot, tea light holder, etc. Click here to shop!

the catch signature rings
This year I launched two exclusive ring designs for my brand, The Catch, in partnership with a woman-led, people-first ethical jewelry manufacturing platform built to connect artisans in Kenya with the global market.
The Lamu Ring: The Lamu Ring features two round discs cast from brass that are lightly hammered for a beautiful, light-reflecting finish. Named after one of my favorite places in Kenya, it symbolises the rising and setting sun over Lamu Island. It is the perfect accessory to add a little extra sparkle to the holidays.

The Taurus Ring: Bold and timeless, The Taurus Ring features a bar cast from brass that is lightly hammered for a beautiful, light-reflecting finish. It is an ode to my zodiac sign. The striking design embodies the main characteristics of the Earth sign of beauty, artistry, hedonism and a love of luxury and comfort. This statement piece makes the perfect gift for all genders. Buy now on The Catch!
Shiseido Skincare & Makeup
During my road trip in July I started using the Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion and fell in love with the product. Typically, I don’t use sunscreen, but I love this formulation and that it doesn’t leave any streaks on my dark skin. It is light enough that on the hottest and sunniest of days, I use it as a face moisturizer. Some of my other favorite Shiseido products are the Vital Perfection Cream, Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate and their Controlled Chaos Mascara in Sapphire Spark and Emerald Energy.

Tern Folding Bicycle
My Great American Road Trip this past summer would not have been complete without my Tern BYB S11 folding bicycle. Thanks to its smart design it is the perfect companion for road trips as it fits in the trunk with no need for a bike rack and it rides incredibly well and allowed me to bike a few miles in every state I visited. It also comes with handy accessories such as a luggage designed specifically for the BYB S11 so it can also be taken on overseas adventures in the future. It is one of those gifts that keeps on giving by keeping the rider in shape, but I don’t blame you if you want to treat yourself with this one! 😉 Click here to buy!
