Asian Lifestyle Design Holiday Zen Wish List

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We are in the holiday season and thoughts of family and friends come into focus. Here is my Holiday Zen Wish List.
This is centered on lots of comfort, warmth, and a bit of extravagance.

I put this list together so it creates a whole evening experience from enjoying tea to relaxing and finally to the comforts of your bed.  Go and get some Zen gifts for your loved ones!  They’ll thank you for it!  Click the image to get to the site.

Zen Inspired Gifts

Beautiful Cast Iron Tea Pot:

A  cast iron teapot, or tetsubin teapot keeps the tea at the proper serving temperature.  This is a beautifully shaped pot with just the right dimensions to serve hot tea.  Just make sure you heat the pot too, as pouring hot water into a cold pot won’t keep the tea hot!  I’ve seen this happen.

Now after you have some nice tea, you can relax with a hot bath…
Bath Salts:

AHAVA Dead Sea Bath Salts

Wrap yourself in a luxurious hotel bath towel from Milan.

Bath Towels:

Bath sheet towels from FRETTE 1860, a world renowned shop for linens and home furnishings of unparalleled quality.  Who doesn’t love a Hotel Classic bath sheet!

Light a candle and set the mood for festivities

Candle:

Gold Toscana Scented Candle with Holder – go ahead and add some sparkle to your holiday!

Grab a great book, that puts you in another world.

Book:

The Elephant Company by Vicki Constantine Croke was my book club recommendation.   I found the story about the relationship between William and the elephants to be inspiring.  There is so much we can learn from animals and nature.

Enjoy your book and unwind with some smooth authentic hot premium Japanese sake in simple beautiful sake cups from Japan!

Sake and Sake Cups:

Daijinjo Premium Sake -Soga no Maru  and Sake Coinoisseur Tasting Cup Set, 4 pc.  from Nihon Ichiban

And lastly once you are totally relaxed, slip into the comforts of your bed with top of line sheets from Italy.

Bed Sheets:

FRETTE’s Tripoli Bouron sheets:  a classic three line embellishment on a crisp cotton poplin.

Now that’s the way to enjoy a Zen holiday spirit.  Send a gift to a loved one or why no even splurge on yourself.  You deserve it!  Just click on the image.
