Give the Gift of Fashion Treat your better half to f lowing Champagne, sparkling stones and undivided attention at Provident Jewelry’s Dream Factory.
The holidays are all about sparkle, and what better way to amp up the glitz than by securing your significant other a doted-upon afternoon at a gem-lover’s paradise? Picture this: She waltzes into Naples’ Provident Jewelry, and the team whisks her through the showroom to a private nook with plush leather chairs. Flutes of Armand de Brignac’s Ace of Spades Champagne and a platter of oysters tempt atop the marble-clad, full-service bar. The team delivers four pieces: a limited-edition Cartier watch, a 24-carat ruby and 30-carat diamond necklace with matching earrings,

and a Graff 12-carat fancy yellow diamond ring. The jewels— selected just for her—twinkle under the studio’s lighting. This is the Dream Factory experience. The 6,000-square-foot space is the latest for the Naples Fifth Avenue South location of Provident, the 30-year-industry veterans with six Florida boutiques.

Give the Gift of Nature Deliver adventure to the outdoor enthusiast in your life with seaside picnics, yachting, glamping and seaplane jaunts —no gift wrap needed.
When luxurious alfresco afternoons and awe-inspiring excursions are what your loved ones want, we’ve got the lowdown on where to make their wishes come true. While cross-country and international voyages are always à la mode, you don’t have to leave Southwest Florida to create experiences with wow factor. Pick one or all of these ventures and win this year’s gift swap.
Picnic Chic Lounging en plein air never looks as good as a dreamy outdoor spread by Picnic Culture. Gift one to your #couplesgoals parents or any other lovebirds you know in need of quality time.

and sip specialty drinks at low-slung picnic tables with stylized tablescapes, sun coverage and decor themed to guests’ specifications. Bar set-ups, bocce ball and other beach-friendly games—as well as an on-site concierge tending to their needs and desires—customize the experience. Package periods range from two to three hours, but for in-home picnics, Natasha says your loved ones can linger a little longer. Add styled shoot packages with backdrops, balloon garlands and a professional photographer to capture the day. A decadent picnic at your loved one’s favorite location, whether by the beach, in a park or in your (or their) backyard takes thoughtfulness to the next level.
Cruise Control Almost everything is more magical aboard a yacht.

Give the Gift of Tradition Gifting a handmade ornament is thoughtful; gifting an ornament-making workshop adds another layer of seasonal sweetness. Your friends and family will love learning the art of shaping molten glass from Naples native and glassblower Conrad Williams. His resume includes an internship with renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly and more than 20 years of experience. Gift a private date night for two or a workshop for up to four at Conrad’s lush, outdoor garden studio. Each year, your loved ones can relive memories of the experience—and your expert gifting—when the handmade ornament is placed on their holiday tree. glassblowinginthegarden.com
