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.
A day in the life of Astro babe Tali Edut— one-half of the AstroTwins team? Well, it might include pressing ‘send’ on an upcoming month of horoscopes for Refinery29 or Elle, it probably includes doing something with the just-published 300-page, all-inclusive guide to 2015 and it could involve follow-up for the on-air readings they did for The Real Housewives of New Jersey (yeah, really). Of course, it might entail a little shopping too …
The Thread: What would you love to give your husband this year?
Edut: My husband is reopening his Polaroid store, Rare Medium, on 21st and Union in Seattle and he just painted the floor this amazing, vibrant white with a Polaroid rainbow strip down the center. I’ve got my eye out for a great pair of slippers for him to wear while he’s at work so he can keep that floor as pristine as possible in between customer visits.
What would you love to unwrap for yourself?
I adore funky, eclectic or tribal-inspired jewelry in brass or gold.
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?
I have an ever-expanding library of great titles that have been gifted to me from friends. I’m always recommending books in the horoscopes I write and in conversations I have with people. Friends know bound-and-published wisdom will go over well with me. I also get a lot of beautiful crystals and candles—always appreciated by this “woo woo” girl.
What would secretly “light my menorah” would be massages and spa treatments of any variety. Or even a session with a private Pilates instructor, oooooh. (Pricey, I know, but a girl can dream.) As a writer, I’m often scrunched up in my chair, ignoring the rules of good posture. Relaxation with a side of musculoskeletal therapy would be the most useful gift of all.
What’s your go-to host or hostess gift, either for a party or for a weekend or extended stay?
Stardust and a great bottle of wine—which we uncork and enjoy while doing the host’s astrology reading. Everyone I visit likes a little preview of what the cosmos holds. It’s a great way to catch up and talk about the things that really matter in their lives.
