FROM THE DESK OF SARAH BROWN:

To our discerning, festive-feeling, suddenly-in-the-spirit customers:

Shopping is an art. It requires strategy, timing, taste, and sometimes a little cunning to get the really good stuff. Fortunately, VIOLET GREY is all about the good stuff--that's the only language we speak--so, worry not; we've got you covered.

Gift-giving is also an art, and among the greatest pleasures. It requires thought, care, creativity and heart. The most wonderful gifts delight and charm, no matter the size. They are memorable.

I am here to work with you on your gifting game plan.

This is the moment to swim in Sturm, lose yourself in La Mer, bathe in a boatload of Bader. Treat your nears-and-dears (and yourself) to a decadent candle, or three. Try a sexy new scent. Scoop up that Instagram-famous device. And remember, a gift doesn't have to be extravagant to be indulgent, it just has to be fabulous. Like a single perfect red lipstick.

So, fellow shoppers, start your engines. Get the good stuff. Be thoughtful, generous and kind–to yourself and to others. And if you need any help, we are VIOLET AT YOUR SERVICE. Drop us a DM, send us a text, pop by the Store (where you can create your very own VIOLET BOX or monogram a La Bouche Rouge compact).

Wishing you happy hunting and a season that is merry and bright.

XO.

Don’t just give any candle. Give one encased in black veined marble and made with hand-poured coconut wax for the cleanest burn. Repurpose the lid later as an incense holder. We especially like the Melrose scent (naturally).

Be your own hero. Or someone else’s. Herein lies one solid pound of the original cult cream. It’s for when, as Mme. Grey likes to say, only the best will do.

Give it as a gift or take a break from a holiday house full of family and pretend you are instead luxuriating in a clawfoot tub-with-a-view in a snowy chalet somewhere in the Alps. I do!

Created in collaboration with founder Yasmin Sewell’s long-time psychic (I’m already sold, how about you?), Vyrao’s newest fragrance is designed to promote mindfulness and wellbeing, and to conjure all the good vibes. The next-best thing to an in-house energy healer (I’ll take one of those, too!)

Instant gratification. Party prep-in-a-jar. There was a seismic freak-out when this little white pot touched down for VIOLET Code testing. If there was an award for everyone at VG’s new favorite product, I think this might win.
