2024 Holiday Gift Guide: Andrea's Favorite Things
It's the holiday season once again! We at TIY love the way we all come together to celebrate. What better way than by sharing Andrea's favorite things?!
Our CEO, Andrea Nucete-Elliott, has amazing taste. We're excited to share her best picks with you. Aside from being great products, they reflect the TIY ethos of creativity, individuality, and thoughtful living.
1) ISDIN Hydrating lightweight daily moisturizer, $65
Andrea swears by ISDIN’s tinted moisturizer, which she customizes by blending two shades to perfectly match her skin tone. It's perfect for her active lifestyle, offering lightweight coverage that holds up during volleyball games. It's the secret to keeping her skin protected, and glowing, all day long.
Powered by hyaluronic acid, this fast-acting face cream is designed to boost softness and radiance. Its unique formula also boasts anti-pollution and smoothing effects, helping reduce the signs of skin aging.
2) Russian Manicures from The Best Nails in Austin, $99
This year, Andrea transitioned to Russian manicures at The Best Nails in Austin—and she’s hooked! Unlike traditional manicures, this technique avoids water and harsh chemicals, relying instead on meticulous hand-filing for precision. Andrea loves the long-lasting results (up to six weeks!) and the attention to detail that makes her nails look flawless.
The Austin nail salon was designed to transport you to the best European nail boutique with no passport required. This boutique nail bar has plush white armchairs for hours of comfort and upscale decor to wow.
3) Lucky Dog Austin Collars, $39.99
Andrea's dog Izzy deserves the best! Something fun, fashionable, and functional just like her. Lucky Dog Austin delivers stylish collars with built-in GPS trackers for safety. Andrea appreciates the blend of pretty and practicality, just like with her TIY hair ties.
These collars are a thoughtful way to show you care about your four-legged family members. All of their collars and leashes are made to order in small batches in Austin, Texas using only the highest quality materials that are durable and long-lasting. Plus, with each purchase, a portion of the proceeds goes towards helping rescue dogs in need.
4) Dulce By Rosie Jane, $80
FEELS LIKE: long kisses, mixtapes & sweet dreams.
Andrea is obsessed with the "Dulce" fragrance from By Rosie Jane. This vegan and cruelty-free perfume aligns with her eco-conscious values while indulging her love for sweet scents. She also admires the brand’s commitment to reducing waste—a philosophy she strives to follow in her daily life.
Fragrance is always a classic holiday gift. Perfect for anyone who loves luxurious yet mindful products, this scent is a lovely way to spread holiday cheer. This one is inspired by the good times with notes of vanilla, hinoki wood, and nude musk.
5) Strawberry Milk Mob Bikinis, $32
Cute Bikinis for cute prices. Andrea can’t get enough of Strawberry Milk Mob’s playful bikinis—and she adores their TikTok content! The brand’s creative names (like “Coconut Milk Mob” and “Blueberry Milk Mob”) and vibrant designs capture her fun-loving spirit.
These bikinis are ideal for anyone who loves bold fashion statements or needs an excuse to dream of sunny days ahead. In Texas, you could probably wear them all year around!
This holiday season, let Andrea’s favorites inspire your gift-giving! Each item on this list reflects thoughtfulness, quality, and a touch of whimsy—values we treasure at TIY.
Happy holidays from all of us at TIY!
