Gifted Giver: Fashion Icon Caroline Issa

We’re counting down the crucial pre-Christmas shopping days with a series called Gifted Givers, in which friends old and new share their thoughts on stylishly spirited giving and receiving.



Is it February yet? Okay, okay. One exciting thing at a time, sure. But as soon as the holidays are over, we’re officially living for the release of fashion editor Caroline Issa’s exclusive-to-Nordstrom line . In the meantime, we’ve got her shopping list.



The Thread: What would you love to give your best friend this year?
Issa: I’d give him this new drone —definitely a sophisticated play thing but I know it’ll be hours and hours, perhaps weeks and weeks, of fun and will bring out the hidden director in him!


What would you love to unwrap for yourself?
I wouldn’t be averse to a fun and flirty dress from Jason Wu —no one can ever have enough Little Black Dresses and this one is a great one!


What kinds of things do people tend to give you? Why do you suppose that is? What does no one ever give you or what do you never indulge in for yourself?
People tend to give me stationery , which I’m a bit obsessed with—postcards, note cards, envelopes and sketchbooks. I probably get a lot more than I’m able to consume in a year, but I’ll rifle through them and dream of the letters I’ll write, of the novellas I’ll never actually put down on paper, and the postcards to remind those I love that I’m thinking of them that do, in fact, get written every once in a while.


What’s your go-to host or hostess gift, either for a party or for a weekend or extended stay?
I tend to stock up on candles to give as a gift to my host, you can never have enough!
