Artet
Artet
Artet has become an integral part of my evening routine, as I take a break from alcohol. It’s relaxing effects are just what I need to switch from day to night, rounding out my edges and reminding me to let my shoulders down. Their single strain, live resin batch of their iconic flagship aperitif – ‘Founders’ Blend’ – in collaboration with the sustainable cannabis company Aster Farms, is solidly on my list of the best gifts to give your sister.
The ‘Founders’ Blend’ features Aster Farms’ Honeydew Funk live resin, derived from the cleanest sun-grown cannabis, which possesses a distinct plant flavor and delivers a uniquely euphoric effect.
Want to step your gift up a notch? As the first non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused luxury aperitif, Artet has created a limited edition glassware collaboration with MAMO, a design workshop in NYC run by collaborators and friends Jonathan Mosca and mixologist Arley Marks.The two Artet x MAMO glasses feature green and blue colors reminiscent of Artet’s bottle, inspired by paintings that the founders’ grandmother created. The 2oz side is perfect for a measured pour and the 7oz side is ideal for cocktails encouraging consumers to be creative when it comes to making beverages (no matter what kind they might be) at home.

Pilgrim Soul
Pilgrim Soul’s name is inspired by a William Butler Yeats Poem the founder used to seduce his wife over 25 years ago in his effort to convince her that he loved more than just her beauty:
“How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.”
In the context of their brand, your “Pilgrim Soul” is the Creative Explorer that is born inside all of us.
Pilgrim Soul is a mission-driven brand focused on optimizing human creative performance to gain a competitive edge in business and life, collaborating with experts in diverse industries to create products and content to facilitate enhanced creative thinking. Items from Pilgrim soul will be some of the most creative best gifts to give your sister this Christmas!

Superette
Superette is a retail brand that makes buying cannabis as enjoyable as consuming it.

Every thoughtful detail of their brand, whether in-store or online, is all about creating moments of delight at every step of the way. All about community, this is a brand you can feel good about supporting this Christmas.

“In an effort to amply and fund their causes, we have an on-going partnership with both Cannabis Amnesty and Last Prisoners Project. Beyond fundraising, Superette uses our platform to spark conversations around inequity in the cannabis space. From stories of legacy individuals who made the jump into the legal market, to edutainment on our social channels, our goal is to remove the stigma associated with cannabis in all its forms.”
Superette’s shop is full of the cutest and most unique items, which is why, when coupled with their advocacy work, they are some of the best gifts to give your sister.
Bougie Bakes

Los Arango Tequila
Los Arango Tequila
Created to honor José Doroteo Arango’s efforts during the Mexican Revolution, Los Arango Tequila is made with 100% blue agave with a maturation of at least 8 years. It is cooked in adobe ovens for up to 36 hours, allowing for sugar caramelization and a smooth finish, and fermented using a specially formulated yeast that helps enhance its fruity and herbal notes. Los Arango is double column distilled, which allows for exceptional retention of aroma and flavor, and aged in American oak barrels. This artisanal, premium tequila is still handcrafted and bottled by hand. To this day, we celebrate Los Arango as a true symbol of Mexico – A Revolutionary Spirit. Los Arango Tequila Blanco won a Double Gold Medal at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. An award-winning tequila is certainly one of the best gifts to give your sister this Christmas.
“Tequila is one of Mexico’s biggest assets — culturally and beyond,” says Ray Ramos, Director of Hacienda Corralejo. “Los Arango is produced at Hacienda Corralejo where for nearly 250 years, the distillation methods have been preserved, refined, and developed by our local community into a tradition of tequila. Los Arango was initially created to honor Jose Doroteo Arango, better known as Pancho Villa, for defending his people against the tyrants in the Mexican Revolution. Los Arango was born in his family name. Today, we continue to honor this triumphant moment in Mexican history with each glass of Los Arango – whether blanco for a specialty margarita, reposado over ice, or añejo sipped neat, we raise a glass to the moments in life that are worth savoring. In addition to the celebratory nature and cultural significance of Los Arango, it’s beautiful bottling makes it an excellent gift. Each is made of blown glass and hand finished with premium leather, metal, and wood accents, all onsite at the hacienda.”
