Despite being a native New Yorker (I grew up in the suburbs) and having lived in NYC for six years before moving to England, this was my first Christmas in New York City. Being nearly nine months pregnant travel was out of the question and I am so thankful my parents made the trip up to spend the holidays with us. Family near and far were incredibly generous this holiday season with gifts – both giving and receiving – and I have put together a round up of the 2024 Christmas gifts I received, Lily received, and that I gave my family.
1 | J. Crew striped wide button-collar pullover sweatshirt
2 | John Hardy Love Knot Y Necklace, Sterling Silver, 1.8MM
3 | Gel Polish Pedicure – Similar to the Gucci bag, I did not actually get a bottle of gel nail polish but a gift certificate to my favorite local spa to get a gel pedicure and foot massage before the baby comes!
4 | Pottery Barn Beautyrest® Heated Faux Fur Throw Blanket
5 | Red Gucci Disco Soho Bag (not actually this bag) I bought it in 2018 in Paris and have used it frequently sense so one of the gifts Mark got me is a trip to the leather spa for it!

8 | Framebridge Large Custom Framed Print
1 | Fajiabao Wooden Montessori Play Food Set

Hey you. Happy new year to you and your family. I can see you had a terrific Christmas. Back from Florida. Yesterday I was at Tavern on the Green for a friend’s birthday party. It was a great party.
