Gift ideas for yourself.

Desserts, downtime, and doing less.

New Shop Recipes Sale Welcome to Sunday Reset, where we share how we're unwinding and what we have planned for the week ahead. This time, our editors are thinking about end-of-year treats.   Good morning!  Our favorite week of the year is officially here, and we are packing up our suitcases to head home. We can practically smell the freshly baked cinnamon rolls and white peppermint hot chocolate already. We are mentally popping champagne corks and shaking up pomegranate martinis—and generally leaning hard into anything that tastes like coffee, spice, or chocolate.   It feels like the unofficial start of the slow-down season: baking a little extra, seeing people you love, and letting yourself log off, at least a bit.   This week, we're thinking about what it really means to show up at the end of the year:   "I'm making my friends hot chocolate and spending time with my family—plus seeing Wicked with my dad at a nice theater."   "I'm showing up on my couch with Stranger Things on Christmas Day."   "Reading on the beach and taking long walks with my sisters in Florida."   "Slowing down and putting my phone away." Here's What We're Making   "I'm tackling a Yule log this year."   "It's the perfect time of year for congee."   "A big pot of lemon chicken orzo soup."   "Cocktails for the family—classic spiced eggnog and winter gin & tonics."   To no one's surprise, Ina Garten's iconic brownie pudding is having yet another internet renaissance—which feels exactly right. If ever there were a season for warm, chocolatey, spoon-able desserts, this is it. Double-Chocolate Pudding Cake Triple-Chocolate Olive Oil Brownies Sheet-Pan Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake Chewy Sumac Brownie Cookies This week, we finally wrapped up holiday gifting—and, naturally, picked up a few things for ourselves (a butter warmer from me to me). We're running one of our best sales right now, so if Dansk has been on your wishlist, now's the time. We also just launched a new chocolate-brown colorway I'm deeply obsessed with.   With temperatures dropping, we've also been layering up at home: new tawny plaid sheets, a beautiful green coverlet and quilt from Schoolhouse, and a lambswool blanket that might magically become gifts. —Food52 Editors View in browser | Unsubscribe | Preferences © 2025 Food52.

Amanda Hesser Dec 19 ∙ Preview   READ IN APP   I hope you’ve all been enjoying Homeward’s houseguests as much as I have—we’ve learned thoughtful tips from Christine Muhlke on compromise and stretching modest budgets in style, and have been introduced to great vintage sources and innovative small space living from Christene Barberich. This month, I’m pausing on my C-streak so that I can introduce you to Kelsey Keith, a longtime design and architecture journalist and editor, who is now the creative director at MillerKnoll—the parent company of Herman Miller, Knoll, DWR, Hay, and a bunch of other amazing brands with towering legacies. It’s a dream job for anyone who’s into home design. And her Substack Ground Condition is a must-read for insightful dispatches on design. Kelsey’s and my career have put us in shared spheres, and yet the Venn diagram overlap has never been quite enough for us to become good friends, which has been my secret wish. That wish has only grown since reading what she shared with Homeward—including a compelling take on coveting versus appreciating, a passion for green tile (spoiler alert for our bathroom design; so do I), and wise words about tech in the home.
