About this column
Our carefully curated showcase of the superb. Lavish praise for the people, products, and places we love to love. With our notes on their Voice Values, bien sûr.
This holiday season, The Voice Bureau is offering up a list of our favorite gifts, organized by the Voice Values who will most appreciate them. Join us in a bit of festive cheer as we count down the 16 Days of Voice Values!
When you walk into the home of a friend with a high Clarity value, you’ll probably notice how clean and uncluttered it is. She’s not the type to pick up a tchotchke from every vacation stop or decorate with heavy fabrics and competing patterns.
A high Clarity value shows itself in a love of simplicity and lack of artifice. When shopping for a gift, look for clean lines, classic shapes, and practical things they’ll use over and over. And no tchotchkes, please.
Curve Sterling Silver Earrings
Your high-Clarity friend’s passion for clean lines extends to her appearance, and we love how these classic earrings easily bridge the gap from jeans to a nice dress. A great pair of everyday earrings means less clutter in the jewelry box, which is a gift she’ll definitely appreciate.
Z-Light Portable Desk Lamp
Ultra-modern home design plays so nicely with a high-Clarity home, and this portable task lamp fits the aesthetic perfectly. With a rechargeable battery, you can even avoid the clutter of a cord, and the lamp folds flat for storage or transport, so you — or the high-Clarity recipient on your list — can take a little oasis of clean simplicity wherever you go. (Plus, the on-board USB port lets you charge your phone right on the lamp base, and that’s just cool.)
Bodum Pour-Over Coffee Maker with Permanent Filter
This classic coffee maker makes an excellent high-Clarity gift, with its clean lines and crystal clear glass. The stainless steel filter eliminates the need for paper filters, which absorb the flavorful oil of the coffee — and no paper filters means no waste. While the coffee maker comes in a huge range of colors, you can’t go wrong with a classic white or cork option.
Quartz Point IX
It may sound obvious, but this is one high-Clarity gift that’s as clear than crystal. [Groan.] Natural quartz is said to be a powerful healing tool and energy amplifier, and its colorless hue embodies the natural quality of clarity. The vendor says that when used in meditation, this quartz point “attunes you to your spiritual purpose and filters out distraction,” properties your high-Clarity friend will jibe with.
Hello, you.
