Kay’s List
Products from Ramona Cline Skincare
The woman behind the line is more obsessed with
her clients’ skin than they are. Her Vitamin C + Eye
serum are my must-have secret weapons, but if I
could afford it, I’d own every one of her products
at all times. I RAMONASKINCARE.COM
Chet Atkins’ Hollow Body Electric Guitar
I cannot leave this mortal coil until I own one
of these. I GRETSCH G6120, $2,100, MR. MUSIC,

UGG Boots
I try to replace my UGGs every year. I don't care
what anyone thinks about their (supposed) yucky
trendiness. I cannot live without footwear that
makes my little feet so happy. I UGG SUEDE

A Gift Certificate of Any Size to
Sur La Table
I cook almost every day, often for everyone in
the neighborhood, but my cookware and knives
are still pretty punk rock. And not in a good way.

Subscription to The Economist Magazine
Every time I get on an airplane (which is a lot),
I need three things: super fluffy socks, a Bloody
Mary, and The Economist. The reporting is
so unemotional and apolitical, it makes me a
little sad that more publications don’t adopt a
similar tone. I ECONOMIST.COM
