Naomi Watts has reached peak chill state of mind, even with the holidays around the corner. Not only is her company, Stripes Beauty, centered on soothing menopause products, from cooling face milks to hydrating gel for down there, but Coyuchi, the brand behind our favorite hand-stitched quilts and down pillows, recently named her as its first-ever ambassador. Before we panic-buy another bottle of wine as a last-minute gift, we asked the actor for her stress-free shopping list. Here, she shares what she’s buying this season, in her own words.
The Gift I Buy in Bulk
Chocolates—everyone loves them! They’re easy to buy in bulk and always a crowd-pleaser.
The Gift for the Pal Who Is Redecorating
This blanket is incredibly soft and luxurious. Made from 100% baby alpaca, it’s not only lightweight but so cozy.
The Gift for the Cook in the Family
These are the chicest servers. I love giving useful gifts, plus these would look fab on any dining table and come in so many different colors.
The Gift for the Friend Who Is Super Into Their Skin-Care Routine
I love this LED face mask. A quick 10-minute session helps to plump, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin.
The Gift That’ll Really Impress an S.O.
Oh My Glide is my go-to play oil. It’s sure to earn you extra points, and it’s a gift that’s a win-win (for them and for you).
The Gift That’s Under $20 (But They’ll Never Know It)
Never underestimate the power of a good old-fashioned game. Bananagrams and a glass of wine sounds like a perfect night to me.
The Gift for the Family Member You Only Get to See Once a Year
This robe is supercozy, thick, and plush—perfect to lounge around in.
The Gift for the Teens in My Life
Digital cameras are all the rage right now. I can’t believe kids are calling these “vintage”! Teens love capturing the perfect shot, and anything that gets them off their phones is a win in my book.
The Gift for the Loved One Who Is Constantly on the Go
I actually got this phone case recently and I love it. You can wear the strap and move hands-free without the stress of “Where the hell did I put my phone?!” You can even personalize it with their initials, which is a cute addition for a gift.
The Gift for the Parent Who Claims They Have Everything
These are my favorite pans. They’re not only easy to use and clean, but they also look fantastic in my kitchen. Plus there are so many colors to choose from. I’m definitely the parent who claims to have everything, but I’d absolutely love to receive these as a gift.
The Gift I Secretly Want for Myself
Vag of Honor is the gift you never knew you needed. It’s perfect for any woman in perimenopause or menopause who could use a little extra hydration (don’t forget to hydrate down there too, ladies!). Trust me, once you honor the vag, there’s no going back. Treat yourself and your friend for the holidays.
