Layer on their lifestyle boutique- Madison, in Highland Park Village and literally no design-stone goes unturned. Be it cookbooks or crystal, the girls have their bases covered at all times. So who better than these two to help us navigate the art of brilliant bestowal?

What is your favorite thing about the holiday season?

It’s not one particular thing, but the atmosphere it brings with it. It’s the smell of Douglas Fir in the house, the warm fire, the taste of ginger cookies, and the sound of laughter and chatter amongst friends and family. It’s a special time.

Who is the hardest person to shop for each year?

Our husbands! The person you know the best is always the hardest to shop for.

What are your favorite holiday traditions?

Opening up that first box of ornaments. Once the ornaments are up in the house, it’s hard not to feel in the spirit of things.
