Holiday Gifts Chosen by Yuki Akimoto
BARNEYS NEW YORK
Three People Share Their Thoughts on Gifts
Holiday Gifts Chosen by Yuki Akimoto
“A present,” I believe, is something that creates smiles, with the thrill of anticipation before opening it and the excitement while choosing. It’s also fun to imagine who might suit what. Even if it’s a “mini gift” under a thousand yen, when it’s given to someone who understands your tastes, you both exclaim, “This is it!” (laughs).

Enjoy Choosing the Perfect Gift for Your Loved Ones
At Barneys, you can find items that are perfect for both special gifts for loved ones and smaller tokens of appreciation.
When I visit a friend’s home for a party, I often choose a room fragrance or candle that suits the atmosphere of their home. The Dr. Vranjes room fragrance set looks beautiful just as a decorative piece. I found the perfect scents for my close friends.
I also want to gift my close friends the wool-silk tank top with PETIT LEAVER LACE from Oscalito, which I love myself. It’s comfortable to wear and feels wonderful against the skin. When I truly love something, I want to share it with my friends.
For the senior male I’m indebted to, I’ve selected the Barneys New York shoe care set. Barneys is unique in offering such thoughtful items for stylish individuals. And for my high school son, I want him to gradually learn about “quality items,” so I chose a wool-cashmere stole. I thought a border pattern, which can be used casually, might be something he’d use right away.
