Editors’ Picks: A Wedding Gift Guide
Couples who are meant for each other almost always have something of a vibe. So the question to ask before any
wedding—long before details about what to wear and what sort of toast to give—is simply: What kind of couple are
they? Are they always out on their tricked-out catamaran or huddled over a table at a romantic restaurant? Are they
throwing epic parties, conquering mountains, or Netflixing and soaking in the tub at home? Know your couple and
setting them up with the perfect gift is easy.
Are They…

Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
goop, $60Give a year’s worth of this next-level olive oil and they’ll think of you every time they cook (or
eat—it’s amazing to drizzle over practically anything). Made with a combination of Nocellara del Belice
olives, an ancient Sicilian variety (dating back to 3000 BCE), and Cerasuola olives, a typical variety
of the region—all pressed within hours of being picked—it is heaven in a bottle.SHOP NOW -
Smithey Ironware Co.
Carbon Steel Farmhouse Skillet
goop, $275Inspired by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American blacksmith designs, this skillet is done in a
preseasoned, hand-forged carbon steel. It’s so beautiful, they’ll never want to put it away (we
recommend a hanging rack). Its performance rivals that of the much-loved cast iron, but unlike
cast iron, it’s extremely lightweight (only about five pounds). And the hammered handle is a gorgeous
finishing touch.SHOP NOW

Business & Pleasure Co.
Hammock
goop, $299They’ll lounge in (and love) this perfect-for-two hammock forever—it’s made of the same canvas as the
company’s amazing beach umbrellas, with added interior padding and quilting. So reclining on it feels
sort of like floating in a plush cocoon. It’s close to three and a half feet wide and just over seven
feet long, with teakwood framing and that signature cotton fringe. It even comes with a carrying case.SHOP NOW -
Everdure

coal.SHOP NOW -
Crow Canyon Home
Vintage 16-Piece Dinnerware Set
goop, $138These vintage-inspired enamel dishes are entirely handmade—by which we mean the steel is actually
hand-dipped in porcelain, then hand-painted after the piece has been fired in the kiln. The enamel is
nonstick and dishwasher-safe (so easy to clean). And in clean white with those chic rims, this
16-piece set is as brilliant for the beach as it is for something fancier—it’s effortless to dress
up for more formal occasions.SHOP NOW -
Business & Pleasure Co.
Premium Beach Umbrella
goop, $299This umbrella spans six feet—meaning six feet of luxurious shade (practically heaven on a hot day)—with
thick cotton fringe trimming the pink-striped canopy. The sturdy seven-foot pole is made of reclaimed
timber, with a marine-grade aluminum handle and hinge (to direct the shade where it’s needed most). And
it all packs up neatly in a matching canvas carrier.SHOP NOW -

Emporio Sirenuse
Sun Dinner Plate
goop, $150The white-and-blue painted swirls on these hefty ceramic plates instantly transport us to the
sun-soaked setting that inspired it: the Amalfi Coast (more specifically, Le Sirenuse, brand founder
Carla Sersale’s iconic, wildly luxurious boutique hotel overlooking the sea). Handmade and hand-painted
by artisans in Italy, the plates are dishwasher-safe, and they make anything—from an incredible pasta to
a few stalks of asparagus—infinitely more appetizing.SHOP NOW -
Lobmeyr
Alhambra Water Pitcher
goop, $731This has to be the prettiest way ever to serve any drink—lemonade, iced tea, signature cocktails, or
just plain water. The whimsical animals and swirling botanical design were inspired by the Jarra vase at
the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, then handcrafted by artisans from mouth-blown glass in Vienna,
Austria. We wouldn’t expect anything less from Lobmeyr, the family-owned brand that’s been creating
exquisite glassware since 1823.SHOP NOW -
The Maker
Spiritus Candle
goop, $75A fleet of these candles will make anyone’s house smell—and feel—absolutely incredible. Airily
sophisticated eucalyptus, frankincense, cannabis, palo santo, vanilla, cedar, and ginger combine in the
enchanting scent, created by the founders of Fresh (The Maker is their new venture, along with their
unbelievably romantic hotel). And the thick, ribbed glass catches the flickering
light in the most flat-out beautiful way. -
Richard Brendon
Star-Cut Coupe Glasses, Set of 2
goop, $225There are flutes, and then there are coupes fashioned from stunning, mouth-blown crystal and etched
with a bevy of twinkling stars strewn all over. Taking inspiration from the Jazz Age, these are a little
bit Gatsby and a whole lot chic. Break them out at dinner, save them for the 10-9-8 countdown, or clink

Pala Ceramics
Carafe & Pour Over Coffee Set
goop, $120It’s hard not to fall in love with this gorgeous hand-thrown, hand-glazed carafe and pour-over cone
set. It turns the undertaking of making coffee into a meditative ritual (there’s something refreshingly
low-tech about the pour-over way), the colorful pattern is a rustic kitchen flourish (the artist,
Oakland-based Chinzalée Sonami, draws on her French Tibetan roots for inspiration), and it’s easy to
tuck into a bag for a long-weekend escape. Bonus points for presenting it with a bag of the best coffee.SHOP NOW -
Zwilling
Glass Drip Coffee Maker
goop, $200This smart drip coffee maker marries an elegant, minimal design (we see you, fluted water reserve) with
Zwilling’s thoughtful engineering and high-performance technology to ensure the perfect brew, every
time. The “blooming” function evenly covers coffee grounds with hot water, which releases carbon dioxide
before steeping begins for a more balanced, less sour taste. Plus, the 12-cup stainless-steel boiler
doesn’t alter flavor the way traditional copper and aluminum boilers can, which we think is just
brew-ti-ful.SHOP NOW -
goop
Fair Trade Specialty Coffee
goop, $28Delicately balanced with floral, peach, and honey notes, this fragrant medium-roast arabica coffee is
one of the most delightful ways to wake up in the morning. The beans are grown in the Planadas, Tolima,
region of Colombia by Astrid Medina—an award-winning, third-generation coffee grower and a leader in a
male-dominated industry (she won the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition in 2015)—then roasted
stateside by our friends at Common Room Roasters in Newport Beach, California. Add a splash of your
favorite alt milk (we prefer oat) or sip it black—either way, it’s straight-up delicious.SHOP NOW -
Zwilling
Milk Frother
goop, $100A frothy, foamy, cloudlike layer of floating oat milk transforms their morning coffee. This frother
whips any type of milk into thick lusciousness (and automatically turns off when it’s done frothing—so
easy) so that an espresso, a matcha, a chai latte, or any cozy drink tastes barista-level incredible. It’s
one of those glorious gifts that are as useful as they are lavish.SHOP NOW -
Fellow
Stagg EKG Electric Kettle
goop, $159Chic and sleek, this electric kettle looks stunning on the counter, but it’s also got adjustable
temperature control, ranging from 135°F to 212°F (with both Fahrenheit and Celsius settings), an LCD
display showing the temperature as the water heats, and a 60-minute temperature-hold mode. And besides
looking good, the graceful gooseneck spout is designed for the smoothest, most precise pour.SHOP NOW -
Roman and Williams Guild
Kaneko Kohyo Rinka Mug
goop, $50From Roman and Williams—the design firm founded by Gwyneth’s favorite
designing couple—these mugs were handmade at Kaneko Kohyo, a 100-year-old ceramics workshop that
originally specialized in Shinto and Buddhist altarpieces. The glazed blush-pink porcelain mimics the
warm, rustic look of hand-formed clay. The curved handle fits comfortably in your hand, and they’re
microwave- and dishwasher-safe. -
Loftie
Loftie Alarm Clock
goop, $149For the best sleep, leaving your phone outside your bedroom is key. Loftie is the no-excuses alarm
clock with (of course) an alarm, night light (the warm kind, not the blue kind), and speaker, but it’s
the extras that make breaking up with your phone before bed easier: Loftie comes with a library of white
noise options, as well as a media center packed with meditations, sound baths, breathwork, and stories.
You can even sync your own content to the clock.SHOP NOW -
Courant
The Catch 2 Wireless Charger
goop, $150The swiftest way to up the remote-work game? This dual wireless charging station, which proves that
function and fashion can coexist. Forget fussing with cords—the best part about The Catch is that you
can rest your iPhone, earbuds, et al. on this bed of butterscotch Italian leather and grab and go as
you please. Suggested use: nightstands, home offices, and kitchen countertops.SHOP NOW

“The Martini” Emotional Detox Bath Soak
goop, $40This body-and-spirit-centering bath soak is how Gwyneth winds down at the end of the day. Infused with
pink Himalayan salt, it helps take the edge off during turbulent times or after a crazy day—and it’s a
great bath to share. Called “The Martini” after the traditional name for the last take of the day in
filmmaking, the soak is made with pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salts, chia-seed oil, passionflower,
valerian root, myrrh, Australian sandalwood, and wild-crafted frankincense. You get three full servings
in one bag; give them a generous supply and we all but guarantee a happy first year.SHOP NOW -
Zadro
Luxury Towel Warmer
goop, $160What’s better than cocooning yourself in a fresh towel when you step out of the shower? Cocooning
yourself in a fresh, warm towel. For that straight-from-the-dryer feel, this warmer has a
single temperature setting that evenly heats your towels (or bathrobes, or blankets, or socks) inside
and out. You can time it to 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes; once it’s done, it turns off automatically. And
when it doesn’t need to be plugged in, the power cord can be stored neatly in the base for safe (read:
trip-free) keeping.SHOP NOW -
Bearaby
Cotton Napper Weighted Blanket, 15 lbs.
goop, $249Naturally weighted with thick organic cotton yarn, the Napper is designed to mimic the calming effects
of deep touch pressure (it feels like being hugged or cuddled). And unlike other weighted blankets,
which are often filled with glass or synthetic beads that make noise when you move around, this soft,
breathable, hand-knit version is totally silent—not to mention totally machine-washable.SHOP NOW -
Baina
Organic Cotton Towel Set
goop, $240Stacks of fresh, new, ultraplush towels make a pretty much foolproof gift; these organic, sage-green
towels are beautifully made in Portugal, with two luxurious towels and a cute checkered bath mat in each
set.SHOP NOW -
Morrow
Organic Matte Sateen Sheet Set
goop, $219The sheer softness of this sheet set belongs in a category all its own. The matte sateen is brilliantly
smooth and shine-free, and the OEKO-TEX- and GOTS-certified organic cotton feels wondrously breathable,
whether you like to burrow in for the night or just want a light cover. Plus, it’s dyed using the CPB
method (an energy-saving technique that eliminates the need for specialty chemicals), so it’s better for
you and for the planet.SHOP NOW -
We-Vibe
Date Night Set
goop, $199This set includes one vibrator for the vulva and one for the penis. First up: Nova 2, a rabbit-shaped
vibrator for the vulva. The long head allows you to shape the angle just right for your G-spot, and the
short head is bendy, letting you keep it in continuous contact with your clitoris as you explore
different levels of penetration. Each head has its own motor that you can control independently, with 10
vibrational patterns and 13 intensity levels. And a partner can join in from across the room (or across
the globe) via the We-Vibe app. Second, Pivot is a penis ring with powerful, rumbly vibrations. It’s
soft, stretchy, and comfortable—just add a bit of lube to slide it on—and it fits snugly between
partners during penetrative sex. There’s one simple button on the device itself to switch between modes,
or you can use the We-Vibe app. Both toys are waterproof and made from body-safe silicone that feels smooth
and gentle on the skin and have rechargeable batteries that last up to two hours on a charge.SHOP NOW

Esther Perel
Where Should We Begin – A Game of Stories
goop, $40Our favorite intimacy-intensifying couples game of all time—it’s called Where Should We Begin?, and
relationship expert Esther Perel dreamed it up during the pandemic as a way to foster connection in a
time, as she says, “of social atrophy”—is easily adapted into a totally PG one that’s incredible for
family and friend gatherings. In either case, the game’s many brilliant questions prompt lots of
