    Buying a gift for the ultimate minimalist, someone whose editing instincts are both admirable and ruthless, has its challenges. There are exacting aesthetics to consider in terms of packaging and design, along with spot-on colors and formulas when it comes to makeup and skincare. The aspiring minimalist\u2014desperate to chip away at piles of the underused, the unloved, and the unnecessary in pursuit of a more streamlined existence\u2014isn\u2019t exactly any easier. \u201cToo much stuff!\u201d goes the exasperated refrain.<\/p>\n

    Sure, you can go the experience<\/em> route: a serene bathing ritual at the Greenwich Hotel\u2019s Shibui Spa, or\u2014in the spirit of decluttering\u2014a house call with a certified KonMari consultant (eminently practical if lacking in holiday flair). But for something more tangible, consider this collection of understated, covetable presents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    For the unconventional nose more interested in creative backstory than department-store spritz, there is Woman, a new, limited-edition fragrance by Apiece Apart in collaboration with perfumer Emily L\u2019Ami. An oil-based scent that layers Buddha wood with smoky rose, it\u2019s designed to inject a pause into the everyday; a time to anoint and tune in. Firing up a stick of incense in Cinnamon Projects\u2019s brass burner\u2014using a chic tortoise lighter instead of a ragtag assortment of restaurant matchbooks\u2014is another way to ground the moment. A Workaday Handmade mug (familiar to fans of the downtown caf\u00e9 De Maria) elevates a morning tea or evening golden milk; Areaware\u2019s geometric drink rocks make even SodaStream water fancy.<\/p>\n

    Design purists will swoon for Binu Binu\u2019s Donald Judd\u2013influenced soaps, which draw on founder Karen Kim\u2019s Korean roots; the Haenyeo Sea Woman, formulated with black sea salt and seaweed, nods to the remarkable female divers on Jeju Island. Kindred Black\u2019s just-launched rosewater, housed in a wax-sealed, hand-blown bottle, has a talismanic appeal, as does Preview\u2019s zigzag clip, best viewed in the hair using Hay\u2019s handheld mirror. And Casa Bosques\u2019s dark chocolate bar (an antioxidant-rich beauty food in this writer\u2019s book) leaves a cacao-nib trail back to the creative studio\u2019s home base in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

    Of course, minimalism also applies to makeup, which is where Kos\u00e5s\u2019s cream blush-and-highlighter duo comes in, delivering a warm flush in a sleek compact. And nails stay groomed with a stone file (which could double as an archaeology find) and a sophisticated neutral polish by J. Hannah. An acrylic cuff in coordinating peach is icing on the proverbial cake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
