For Martha Stewart, holiday hosting is a tradition near and deer to the heart.
And when she’s not doling out great gifts to loved ones, the domestic doyenne’s splurging on exquisite decor of her own — most recently “an antique stone deer, which was made around 1900 in Belgium,” as she tells Page Six Style.
“Every year I buy myself something extraordinary for my property,” explains the lifestyle mogul, who recently partnered on a collection with photo brand Mixbook.
Not all of her top present picks involve sourcing centuries-old rocks, however; some of her must-haves are just a stone’s throw (er, Amazon order) away.
“A gift set from Mario Badescu and a facial at their New York City spa is one of my go-to gifts,” she says. “I think my friends would be really sad if that green bag was not under their tree!”
While Stewart’s favorite Luxe Gift Set is currently out of stock, you can’t go wrong with the Essentials 5-Piece Kit ($38).

Clé de Peau Beuté Precious Gold Vitality Mask
In addition to self-care, she’s also fueling her loved one’s caffeine routines this season with luxe kitchen gadgets like the Breville Barista Express Machine ($690).
“Everybody loves the cappuccino from my Breville,” she says of the gadget, which she’ll be giving “to a few lucky friends.”
And while her gift picks also include Clé de Peau Beauté’s La Crème ($560 $476) and Precious Gold Vitality Mask ($310 $264) — the latter of which is infused with 24-karat gold — the best presents she’s unwrapped over the years are (more figuratively) worth their weight in gold.

“To me, the most cherished gifts are sentimental,” she says of personalized presents like a Mixbook calendar or photo book. “It’s a tangible representation of shared moments, experiences and what connects us to our loved ones.”
As for Stewart’s beloved pets? While her pampered pooches wear diamond-encrusted collars, they’ll be getting something straight from the heart this year, according to the mogul: “Love, love and more love.”
