Today we are welcoming in December in the best way we know how… bringing you our annual gift guide for 2023! 

The season of giving is upon us and there’s no denying that finding that perfect gift for all family members & friends is no easy feat.  So, to spark some inspiration we asked the DJI for a sneak peak of what was on their wish list for this year.

Whether you’re in the hunt for something to treat somebody special, or simply shopping for yourself (it’s all about balance right?!?) then be sure to keep reading our perfectly curated gift guide for this holiday season!

CDW Incense Ashtray

“Nothing lifts my spirits quicker then the first trail of smoke coming from a freshly lit incense stick. Perhaps it’s the California hippie in me, but truly there is nothing better. The perfect gift this year is this steel incense ashtray paired with some Kuumba incense sticks. Even better are these incense sticks from Candy Design & Works collab with Kuumba, with 30 minutes of burn time you have the perfect end of work day de-stress. Pair it with a little meditation for an ever better experience.” – Kari, Senior Interior Designer
