25 Days of Great Gifting* Day 23

Tony Bradfield and Kevin Black are the partner proprietors behind Tenenbaum & Co., the tony Galleria-area estate jewelry boutique that stocks the best of the best – think Asprey, Dior, David Webb and Harry Winston. With just a few days until Christmas, Bradfield and Black give us their top picks for a supreme season of gift giving.

What is your favorite thing about the holiday season?

Kevin: How things seem to transform into the most beautiful versions of themselves … lights, flowers, desserts, candy, champagne …. all make things so beautiful. Now if all of us could just transform ourselves into the most beautiful versions of ourselves during this time … that would be a holiday to remember.

Tony: That everyone makes a greater effort to get together, share and make time for one another.

What is the worst gift someone has given you?

Kevin: White tube socks with white Fruit of the Loom briefs …. my grandmother … every year for 20 years.

Tony: Every year between ages 10 – 12, my aunt & uncle gave me a fire extinguisher. Why? Tell me why?!

Who is the hardest person to shop for each year? 

Kevin: Tony Bradfield … actually he is the hardest and the easiest all at once. He has everything he would ever need … but I know him so well that I could pick a hundred things I know he would love.

Tony: Kevin, I try to give him everything he wants, when he wants it…. LOL!
