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!
It’s only the best for those who value Excellence — and well deserved. They’ll never offer less than their best, and they genuinely appreciate when others reciprocate. They know quality when they see it, so keep your gift selections top shelf.
Of course, just because you have a high-Excellence friend on your holiday shopping list doesn’t mean you need to break the bank. Think little luxuries — gorgeous but small gifts that are hand-made, high-end, and totally luxe. This is a friend who would rather have one really fabulous small item than a huge gift that’s just so-so, and quality over quantity is always the name of the game.
Monogrammed Cashmere Scarf
When you’re looking for luxe, cashmere tends to top the list. There’s a reason for that — the blend of comfort and class exemplifies Excellence. Cashmere can get pricey quickly, but this scarf allows you to give a taste of luxury without draining your bank account. We love that the monogram is available in such a huge range of colors and styles, which means your gift is truly one of a kind.
Tatcha Gold Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm
When I’m craving a little luxury in my life, I love picking up some fancy makeup — it’s an easy way to feel special every morning without investing in pricey jewelry or a whole new wardrobe. A great everyday lip balm goes a long way, and adding a touch of shimmer to your lips with 24-karat gold leaf is high-Excellence all the way.
Agate Cheese Board
When you’re a high-Excellence hostess, there’s no way you’re serving your guests a slab of brie on a plate or — gasp — a regular, old cutting board. This gold-rimmed agate cheese board is so gorgeous, it’s not just worth bringing out for a party, it’s worth throwing a party just to bring it out.
Tom Bihn Bags
Your high-Excellence friend would definitely appreciate appointing himself all the way to the outermost layer of his outfit — the messenger bag, laptop bag, or backpack. Seattle-based bag designer Tom Bihn and team make bags of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Each one is lifetime guaranteed. To ensure a focus on quality and value, this company has chosen to stay small (and extraordinary) rather than outsource to meet demand.
