  • Gift for Her 
    • Carrie:Our custom collection of J. Stark luggage pieces. They are great looking and really functional. I love how they wear in, and the canvas weathers over time.The Carryall Tote Bag goes from groceries to the beach and I useThe Weekender all the time for travel.
    • Louise:OurBarrel Stave Bowl. It’s the perfect piece that can travel from the kitchen as a fruit bowl, to the sideboard in the dining room with seasonal decorations, or as a platter for appetizers when you’re entertaining.  
    • Chenault:OurBourbon Barrel Hoop Sculpture. It won’t break the bank, and who couldn’t use an art piece with a great story behind it?

  • Gift for Myself
    • Carrie:The entireClayton & Crume leather line, because it’s all the things I would use, but never buy for myself.
    • Louise: I’d takethe entireCorkcicle line of custom Pappy & Company walnut wood glassware including the tumblers, canteens, and the new coffee mug. 
    • Chenault:Our customAsa Pewter Barrel Beaker. It's beautiful as a drinking vessel, displayed on a bookcase, or holding a floral arrangement.

  • Most Unique Gift
    • Carrie:Definitely for this season, our newCustom Handmade Humidor. You can’t find anything like it.
    • Louise: OurBourbon Barrel-Aged PureMaple Syrup. It's so over the top delicious and unlike anything else available. I put it on everything!
    • Chenault:Our cigars! Not many people realize what goes into the making of our barrel fermented cigars. It’s a process that originates with tobacco grown and fire-cured in Kentucky, then fermented in bourbon barrels in St. James Parrish, Louisiana, and then goes on to Nicaragua, where they are hand-rolled and aged before arriving at our headquarters in Louisville, KY.
