Savvy just adores pop-up shops. The “here today, gone tomorrow— no, we’re not kidding, we don’t really need to pay the rent in January” aspect allows retailers to be truly imaginative and risk-taking in their offerings. Or, well, in the case of West Elm, as throw-caution-to-the-wind as parent company Williams-Sonoma ever gets. But calling out this hipster haven for its corporate roots is being unnecessarily unkind. I mean, come on, where else are you going to find a holiday wreath made of white feathers? Sooo major. Savvy gift pick: Scandinavian tree aprons, slate cheese boards, the dog-printed appetizer plates from Scott Lifshutz. If Savvy had more friends with cool apartments and music collections stocked with house mixes from Stéphane Pompougnac, her holiday shopping would be done, done and done.
