Aerin Lauder & Mayflower Inn: A Holiday Gift Guide for the Home‑Loving Crowd

The holiday season is the perfect time to treat the people who matter most with something that celebrates both comfort and style. In this year’s edition, Travel + Leisure has teamed up with designer Aerin Lauder and premium bedding house Mayflower Inn to curate a gift guide that balances luxury, practicality, and that unmistakable “home‑first” aesthetic that Aerin is known for. Whether you’re shopping for a romantic partner, a close friend who loves to entertain, or a family member who just bought a new apartment, the guide offers a range of options from plush bedding to chic décor that will fit any budget and taste.

1. The Aerin Lauder–Mayflower Inn Signature Collection

Aerin Lauder’s collaboration with Mayflower Inn launched a new line of linens and accessories that embodies her signature airy, minimalist design language. The collection is available exclusively through Mayflower Inn’s online shop and in select luxury department stores. It features a pastel palette—soft sage, muted blush, and gentle taupe—paired with crisp, high‑thread‑count cotton. The result is a line that feels both fresh and timeless.

2. Bedding: The Core of Comfort

a. The “Serenity” 100% Cotton Bedding Set

• Pieces: Duvet cover, fitted sheet, flat sheet, two pillowcases
• Features: 480‑thread‑count cotton, moisture‑wicking finish, machine‑washable
• Price: $299

Aerin’s touch shows in the subtle scalloped edges of the duvet cover, giving it a soft, hand‑stitched look that feels luxurious without being ostentatious. For couples who enjoy a light, airy duvet, this set is an ideal choice.

b. The “Haven” Luxury Throw Pillow Collection

• Pieces: 2‑piece set of rectangular pillows
• Features: 100% Egyptian cotton, goose‑down alternative filling, removable silk cover
• Price: $159

The throw pillows’ pastel hue and silky cover make them a perfect accent for any bedroom or living room. They are especially well‑suited for guests who appreciate an extra layer of comfort when staying in a rented home or a boutique hotel.

3. Home Fragrance & Aromatherapy

a. Mayflower Inn “Eau de Maison” Luxury Candles

• Varieties: “Lavender Field,” “Citrus Grove,” “Sandalwood Retreat”
• Features: Hand‑poured, soy‑based wax, 50‑hour burn time, designer label
• Price: $49 each

These candles are a staple in the holiday gift guide. They provide a sophisticated scent experience while also serving as decorative accents. Aerin’s input is visible in the minimalist glass jars and understated scent profile—ideal for those who prefer clean, subtle fragrance.

b. Herbal Sachets

• Varieties: “Chamomile,” “Rosemary,” “Peppermint”
• Features: Organic dried herbs, sewn in a linen pouch, refillable
• Price: $29

Herbal sachets add a touch of wellness to any home. They’re perfect for gifting to a friend who loves the idea of a little aromatherapy in the bedroom or a touch of nature in a small apartment.

4. Kitchen & Tableware

a. The “Eau de Table” Ceramic Dinnerware Set

• Pieces: 12‑piece dinner set (plates, bowls, mugs)
• Features: Hand‑glazed porcelain, white with subtle pastel accents, dishwasher safe
• Price: $179

The ceramic set pairs seamlessly with Aerin’s aesthetic: simple, functional, and slightly whimsical. Ideal for holiday dinners, the set’s pastel glaze can brighten any table setting without overpowering the décor.

b. The “Culinary Palette” Wooden Cutting Board

• Features: 12‑inch bamboo board, hand‑finished, reversible
• Price: $69

A practical yet stylish addition for any kitchen, the cutting board is a great gift for the foodie friend who loves sustainable materials.

5. Bath & Wellness

a. The “Hydration” Plush Bathrobe

• Features: 100% Turkish cotton, deep‑pile, reinforced cuffs, two pastel color options
• Price: $139

A cozy, absorbent bathrobe is a classic gift, but the bathrobe’s minimalist design and high‑quality material make it stand out.

b. The “Scented Silk” Eye Mask

• Features: Silk‑lined, infused with lavender oil, adjustable strap
• Price: $24

A small but thoughtful addition, perfect for anyone who likes to travel or simply enjoys a peaceful night's sleep.

6. Décor & Accent Pieces

These vases add a decorative touch while offering a personalization option that’s always a hit.

b. The “Aerin Lauder” Wall Art Prints

• Price: $199

A decorative statement piece for any living room or office, the wall art’s clean lines and botanical motifs fit well into contemporary interiors.

7. Bundle Offers and Seasonal Discounts

A key part of the Travel + Leisure guide is the presentation of bundle deals that combine several pieces for a holiday-ready package. For example:

• The “Holiday Home” Bundle: Serenity bedding set + Haven pillows + Eau de Maison candle (20% off) – $520
• The “Kitchen & Dining” Bundle: Culinary Palette board + Eau de Table dinnerware + Monogram vase (15% off) – $337

The article highlights that these bundles come with a 10% off coupon code, “HOLIDAY10,” that can be applied at checkout on Mayflower Inn’s site. The bundles are positioned as convenient gift options for last‑minute shoppers or those who want to give a complete package rather than a single item.

8. Practical Tips for Holiday Gifting

The guide includes a handful of practical advice to help readers navigate the selection:

• Consider the Recipient’s Style: Aerin’s line is elegant but understated; it’s ideal for people who appreciate a “less is more” aesthetic.
• Check Return Policies: Mayflower Inn offers a 30‑day return window, which is useful for gifts that may not fit the recipient’s taste.
• Read Product Reviews: Several items are accompanied by customer reviews on the site, giving insight into durability and fit.
• Track Shipping: The article advises ordering at least a week before Christmas to ensure delivery in time for the holidays.

9. Why the Collaboration Works

Aerin Lauder’s brand is built on the philosophy of “design for the everyday.” By teaming up with Mayflower Inn, she expands that ethos into the physical world of bedding, décor, and accessories. The collaboration is a natural fit: both brands prioritize quality, minimalism, and the idea that a well‑chosen piece can transform a space. For shoppers looking for a gift that combines luxury and practicality, the partnership delivers an array of options that can be tailored to a variety of budgets.
