The C.O. Bigelow Holiday Gift Guide 2025: Wrapped in Wellness Since 1838
Before the wrapping paper, the holiday parties, and the shipping cutoffs come the question that returns every year: What do I get everyone?
This season, we’ve curated a list that makes everyday rituals feel special, just like all great gifts should. Whether you’re shopping for the friend who’s already planning their next facial, the minimalist who appreciates the perfect candle, or the nostalgic New Yorker who collects stories as much as souvenirs, consider this your apothecary-approved cheat sheet.
For the 'It' Girl
Her bathroom counter looks like a mood board, and her nightstand holds just enough ritual to seem effortless. She’s the friend who is never caught without lip tint or a good hair day.
- Brushed Gold Shower Head, Jolie
- 1.5 Inch Headband - Tokyo, Charles Wahba
- Mentha Lip Tint Plum Mint No. 1642, C.O. Bigelow
- Large Boar Bristle Hairbrush, C.O. Bigelow
- Royal Pine Candle, Vacation
For the New Yorker at Heart
They might live downtown or halfway across the country, but they still think of 6th Avenue when they smell coffee and cold air. They’re nostalgic for neon signs and pharmacy counters, but they also know the best new lunch spots before anyone else.

- Monogram Notebook, C.O. Bigelow
- Joy To The World - The Apothecary Cat Ornament, C.O. Bigelow
For the Energy Alchemist
Their apartment smells like eucalyptus, they talk about energy shifts, and they always know which moon phase it is. They’re calm, grounding, and always have the right playlist for a Sunday morning.

For the Modern Gentleman
He’s modern in values, old-school in taste. Appreciates craftsmanship, clean lines, and anything that feels like it belongs on a well-kept vanity. He’s the type who prefers one great thing to five mediocre ones, and he can spot quality from a mile away. Give him tools that last, scents that stay, and details that never try too hard.

For the Cozy Seeker
They’ve mastered the art of slowing down (or at least, they’re trying). Her evenings are slow, scented, and phone-free. They’ll light a candle before answering a text, and their bathwater runs hot enough to fog the mirror. They love textures, soft light, and products that invite you to slow down.

- RUB Solid Balm, MIRRORWATER
