Happy holidays. Wow…that sounds so strange to hear that so soon. It seems just like yesterday, we were here in the year 2020. The year that changed all of our lives, and taught us to navigate a new world, and find new ways to be. Well, we are. No matter how tough the struggles are you will get thru it. We will get thru it. Truly, we’re all in this together. So, let our list inspire you this season to spread kindness and love above all else, but also enjoy the gift suggestions…some will be lifesavers, and some will be laughable, but all come from a good place.

This year we’ve added new favorites from our growing team of agents. They keep us on our toes about it all. So, it is with great pride that we add their ideas to our favorite things 2021. With love and gratitude in our hearts Mode Real Estate wishes you a beautiful holiday season, and of course a very happy 2022. We know that good times are ahead for everyone. 

Michael’s Favorite Things:

 

Moser Sweet Bowl

Who wouldn’t want a stunning piece of crystal to showcase your holiday table setting or perhaps nestle some scented pinecones in on your coffee table. For those afraid of color, remember purple is a neutral. You heard it here first!

All Day Every Day Pant

I’m a sucker for Instagram ads, and comfortable clothes…essentially the perennial fall favorite grey sweat pants masquerading as slacks!

Bugatti Chiron

For the Billionaire in your life who has everything – this Bugatti is perfect. Can’t you just smell the stunning hand stitched leather???

Zeno Stainless Steel Ice Bucket

The perfect addition to your or your loved ones bar. An ice bucket is such a sensible tradition that no one bothers with anymore. Well they should. Keep those cocktails iced cold.

The Personal Librarian

I’m really into historical fiction, but this is more historically accurate than I had ever imagined, and one of my favorite reads of 2021. A real page turner, it concerns the story of J.P. Morgan’s personal librarian, a now infamous woman, who’s light African American skin allowed for her to pass as a white woman building the world renowned library for the Morgans.

Sparkling Orange Candle

A candle is always a great gift during the holidays, especially if you need to bring a hostess gift to a party. This memorable, long lasting candle is sure to please the intended recipient.

Ray Ban Aviators

Aviators are classic for a reason. They never go out of style, and they look great on most everyone!

TOM FORD: Fucking Fabulous

The name pretty much says it, and no one knows cologne better than Tom Ford!

The Village Pie Maker

I love to bake, but not everyone can handle the challenge, so buy one, bake it off, and bring it to dinner. Or send to a loved one you can’t be with! It will remind you of what Grandma used to fix.

 

DeWaal’s Favorite Things

Comfort and ease and a little touch of luxury

Men’s Thermoball™ Traction Booties

 

 

These are one of my favorite finds this year. They are warm and snugly. They are also waterproof so they are great to slip on and run the kids to school on a freezing morning. During the winter, I wear them almost constantly.  What a great and practical gift for family members.

 

Cashmere Throw Blanket

 

Who doesn’t love the luxury of cashmere? And although this is an expensive luxury to add to your comfort collection it will last for years and you will use it over and over! Definitely an impressive purchase for someone you care for.

 

Oversized Crystal Whiskey Glasses

For the special colleague that you missed buying a gift for last year. Or for your boss. Drinking out of these will make whatever you put to your lips taste extra special!

 

Good Quality Cast Iron Skillet

 

Who doesn’t love a wonderful meal cooked in a skillet. Cooking is simple again, a few ingredients at most but made with love and ease.

 

Graham Beck Brut Rose

 

One of my favorite native South African sparkling wines. Fit for every festive occasion. Take a few of these with as a gift for a host or serve this during your holiday parties…:-)

 

Salt and Pepper Shakers

 

Gift a colleague or friend with a few of these. Nothing more fabulous than scattering these great designed shakers all over your table. Beautiful and functional.

 

Jodi’s Favorite Things:

 

I am so excited to share this list with you!

 

EltaMD UV Restore Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 40

Protecting your skin with sunscreen is an absolute must with the high altitude and Colorado sun. Whether hitting the slopes or heading out to the beach on holiday, this Elta MD tinted sunscreen is my favorite.

Nike Space Hippie 04

These sustainable kicks are not only incredibly fashionable but they are very comfy. You will love feeling good about gifting these to your favorite fitness junky.

 

Johnny Was Masks

Stay safe in style with these fabulous Johnny Was masks. I love them because they are quite comfortable to wear and they wash well too!

Drink Petal Rose Drink

Looking for something new to sip on this holiday season? Check out this delish sparkling Rose beverage. I promise, trust me.

Aromatic Candle-Red Currant

This lovely candle will not disappoint. It is a great gift to have on hand for your last minute Holiday gathering.

Tennis Table

Not sure what to get your teenager? This is it. Bring everyone together during a winter storm and have a little fun.

Tom Ford: Rose Prick

This fragrance is EVERYTHING.

Travelpro Luggage Set

Travel in style with this lightweight luggage duo.

MagSafe Battery Pack

This external MagSafe battery pack made by Apple makes business AND travel far less stressful.

Holiday Boxwood and Red Berry Wreath

Searching for a last minute gift idea? Send this gorgeous wreath to your loved one. It would look lovely on your front door as well.

Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream

Does winter skin have you under the weather? Add a warm glow with this beautiful holy grail bronzer.

Ricky’s Favorite Thing:

One of my favorite things is Martha Stewart and Marley Spoon boxed meal delivery. Just enough to prep and clean up to bring the family together with the added bonus of narrowing that almost daily question, “What should we make for dinner tonight?”

 

Dylan’s Favorite Things:

Teva ReEMBER Shoes

Are they slippers? Are they shoes? Nobody knows… but what we do know,  they make the perfect gift to anyone wanting to live in comfort and style.

OneBlade Razor

Why shave with 5 blades on your razor when all you need is one? This single blade razor is classy, affordable, and will leave any frequent shaver with a smile on their face.

Nintendo Switch

Quiet any rambunctious kid down at the touch of a button! One of these and the whole family will be entertained for months on end.

Epic/Ikon Ski Pass

The best gifts are those that lead to experiences. So dust off that old pair of skis in the garage and get out there on the slopes this ski season.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

From start to finish this book is truly amazing. The author details her upbringing as a Native American and how she has learned to embrace every organism in the land that surrounds her. 10/10 read for anyone who loves non-fiction.

2022 Toyota Tacoma

Go for broke and buy the newest model of Tacoma right off the lot (but save some $$ for that new house we are about to find for you).

Cirrus Ice Ball Press Kit

Wow your guests at every occasion with any classic cocktail that is best served on the rocks. Is circular ice necessary? Absolutely not. Is it reasonably priced? Some would beg to differ. But it’s the best damn ice machine in town.
