EUPHORIA SPA
• My theory with gifts for spa lovers is that you’re best off with gift certificates, because if you get specific, you could end up offending: “I thought you’d like a massage” might sound more like “Why are you so tense?” Sixty-minute massages start at $120.
• That said, opening a gift certificate can be a little anti-climactical, so pair it with a custom-blend Euphoria candle ($22), Me Time bath salts with pomegranate infusion and seaweed extract ($18), and/or Lip Slippers balm ($15).

CASS LILIEN’S WINDOW 24
• Stacking name rings are a lovely way to remember your children’s names when you’re baked commemorate the ones you love. Silver rings are $150, 14-karat-gold ones are $300, and each name or diamond is $25 more.
• Cass’s Jewelry Making Kits come in two types: The one pictured is for younger girls, while the other is better for teenagers ($38 each). Both have freshwater pearls and semi-precious stones.

CAPUCINE
• A pretty weekender bag by Amy Butler for Kalencom ($240).
• The leaf dangling from this bracelet ($125) is a real leaf that has been dipped in silver (yes, that’s silver—the light is turning it bronze-y).
• Patchwork stuffed animals by Nook-Nook (owl, $46).
• For the child who really wants a pet: Zzzoolight’s cat light ($95).
• This pirate has the best whiskers ever ($25).

TRIBECA BEAUTY SPA
