December 2009
Every season it’s a fun, yet sometimes difficult, task to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list. But over the years I’ve figured out some fail-safe gifts that are sure to please. Take a look at some ideas for this holiday season:
Krug Champagne
My personal favorite champagne is always a welcome gift in anyone’s home for the holidays!
Massage Session
Who can resist a luxurious massage? Especially after the rush of the holidays, the recipient is sure to appreciate some much needed relaxation.
Natori Dragon Beach towel
For the person on your list who you don’t know what to buy, a plush oversized beach towel is the way to go- it’s perfect for any gender and any age.
Beluga Caviar
For the gourmet in your life, or the person who has everything, caviar is the gift to give.
Natori Dynasty PJ
You can never go wrong with a classic PJ set, especially the Natori Dynasty set. This set features an iconic Natori print; it’s so unique you can be sure they’ll have nothing else like it.
Hermes Leather Notebook
Hermes makes pieces that will last a lifetime. With supple leather, this notebook isn’t just a gift, it’s one that they can personalize and make their own.
Natori Candle
Housed in a sleek black case with a scent to match the Natori fragrance, this makes for a unique candle and a beautiful gift.

“My biggest assets are being a woman and being Asian-American. Both of those facts make Natori what it is today. What’s really important is doing something you relate to, something that’s personal.”
-Interview by Charlotte Druckman in Elle Decor
Dear Ms. Josie Natori,
I’m a fourth-year student at The University of Arizona. After two and a half years of studying Microbiology, I had realized that working in the field of science as a pharmacy tech./intern wasn’t what I felt passionate about. I changed majors to journalism, which I’m still a little anxious about with the job market and all. I love fashion and home decorating! Maybe it was because I grew up with a sister who works in fashion. I wish I were as curageous as her to embark in a field where money wasn’t the issue, and “doing something (she) related to” was. And although I’ve changed majors… Like I said, I’m still a bit anxious.
Today, I am studying for my last final of this Fall semester. I just went to buy some index cards after I had run out and stopped by my mailbox. I was excited to see that I had received my new issue of Elle Decor and although I still have a final to study for, I decided to flip through to the section on “Women in Design”.
After reading your interview, I felt inspired. You see, I’m 21 years old, Asian-American and I’m about to graduate and head off into a world where competition for jobs in my field are limited. I’ve been worried about what I’ve gotten myself into. Your passion for what you do makes me feel optimistic about my future. You’ve done things in the past that have helped shape the woman you are today. I can only hope that I will be as successful in what I do in the future. And so I must say, thank you for inspiring me!
Sincerely,
Tiffany Jen
