With its hand-picked collection of chic and stylish brands, NewlyWish is one of our favorite places on the web. You can go there to create a wedding registry, find unique gifts, or just shop for yourself. Check out what our friend Amanda Allen and her team put together as their picks for my birthday wish list (naturally, each item is available at NewlyWish.com).
Birthday Wish List for Ceci Johnson by Amanda Allen and her team, NewlyWish
-
Ibride Ming Tableware (Interieurs, $195)
This “vase” by Ibride beautifully captures the idea of modern versatility – it’s a chic decorative piece one minute and beautiful, durable tableware the next. Truly the perfect gift. -
Open Block Writing Desk by Global Views (Bobby Berk Home, $2500)
Who said writing a weekly style magazine was easy? It’s a bit of a splurge, but we know Ceci will get endless mileage with this stylish writing desk. -
Charley Harper Fish Plates (Fishs Eddy, $14.95 each)
With little Mason in the house, these Charley Harper plates give a playful and colorful touch to Ceci’s breakfast bar (and we know that Mason already has a full collection of Charley Harper stories so it’s just too perfect). -
The Original Flea by Fleabags in Pebble ($440)
Handbags and shoes – is there such a thing as having enough? We didn’t think so. This chic bag by Brooklyn-based Fleabags is ideal for Ceci – it’s not only stylish but designed with the sophisticated urban shopper in mind. -
Noble Organic Fragrance by MCMC Fragrances ($95)
Every fashionable woman about town like Ceci needs a signature fragrance, and these – handmade of all natural ingredients right here in NYC – have intoxicating and unique scents that are sure to be a hit. -
Blue Pinstripe Tea Set by Jasper Conran for Wedgwood ($49-$200)
Originally inspired by finely tailored clothing, this fresh and clean design captures Ceci’s love of fashion with a refined, contemporary design that seems perfect for city entertaining. -
Angel Feet Reflexology (one-hour treatment, $95)
Everyone, even Ceci, needs a break every once in a while and Angel Feet Reflexology in the West Village provides an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation that Ceci occasionally craves to help keep her going in her fast-paced life. -
Tickets for Two to the New York City Ballet ($450)
We know there’s a ballerina deep down inside Ceci, so here are two tickets for her and her hubby to go and enjoy the NYC Ballet at Lincoln Center. -
Audrey Hepburn Print by Gregory Kirschenbaum (nAscent Art, $500, 20″x24″)
Style icon. Tireless humanitarian. Timeless beauty. We think this print of Audrey Hepburn by NY artist Gregory Kirschenbaum is the perfect inspiration for Ceci’s office. -
Voya Flutes by John Rocha for Waterford ($150)
We thought that these flutes, which combine a modern design with Waterford’s world famous hand-crafted crystal, fit perfectly with Ceci’s aesthetic, merging cutting edge style with a traditional feel. Plus, they blend seamlessly with any dinnerware. -
Elizabeth Necklace by Loren Hope ($265)
Perfect with a t-shirt and jeans or a little black dress, we think this chic and stylish handcrafted necklace from Loren Hope will fit any occasion Ceci chooses. -
Maya Boucle Throw by Sefte (B Moore Home, $495)
After a long day at work, we think Ceci will enjoy bundling up with this super-soft and luxe throw. It’s perfect for snuggling up with little Mason.
AMANDA ALLEN, NEWLYWISH
Amanda Allen created NewlyWish after her own wedding registry experience, during which she found that her favorite local shops didn’t offer gift registries. She then asked herself the question, “Since no bride is the same, why shouldn’t her registry be as unique and special as every other part of her wedding?” And with that, NewlyWish was born, built with the goal of providing couples access to the city’s finest shops and offering chic, stylish, and modern gift options for the kitchen, table, bed, bath and home, plus “experience gifts” such as cooking classes and dancing lessons, tickets to the theater, concerts, and sporting events, and even spa and fitness packages. Since launching, Amanda and her team have taken the gift giving beyond the registry to include a range of unique ideas for wedding party gifts, favors and welcome bags, stationery, and more…
“Amanda always inspires me with her drive for success. I love her business and how she thinks. She knows what it takes and will not stop until she gets there! I always admire that in people. But best of all, she is a wonderful, kind woman. Thanks to her, chic couples can now have unique registries that they actually love! Thank you, Amanda!” - CECI JOHNSON
