Let’s cut to it – it’s a short holiday season and we know you’re busy! What better way to give this year than by supporting the portfolio companies you are already invested in? 

Here are 10 easy gifts for the VIPs in your holiday orbit, straight from the companies you have a stake in at The Cashmere Fund …

‍1) Your boss

Let’s start with the hardest one first …

If your boss is the type that’s into plant-based protein and healthier-for-you food, coffee, and coffee alternatives, take a look at the offerings from IQBar. A variety pack of protein bars or a box of single-serve electrolyte drink mix can be the perfect go-to snack for their office drawer.

2) Your Mom

OK, so maybe this one is the hardest to shop for. 🙂

For the woman who cares about quality, try the Super Gift Set for the Holidays from Graza Olive Oil. The Set includes the “Sizzle” and “Drizzle” Duo, plus 2x refill cans and a kitchen funnel for easy refilling.

3) Your Bae

Forget the traditional route. Time to show your significant other that you’re going the extra mile for their health and well-bring … and the longevity of your relationship.

Does your special someone have allergies they keep talking about or dealing with? Schedule them a virtual visit with Wyndly so that they can get a personalized treatment plan for their allergies.

Or, gift a subscription to Parallel Health - a revolutionary new tele-dermatology platform that offers personalized skincare therapy based on your skin’s unique needs.

4) Your Secret Santa at the office holiday party

Keep it casual but cute for this one with a variety collection of non-alcoholic, craft mocktails from DeSoi.

‍5) The white elephant gift exchange

Now you need something a little bit out of the ordinary–but still nice enough to be stolen over and over. Build-your-own-box of wine from Nomadica, offering collections of zero sugar, low calorie wines.

‍6) Your best friend from college

They get you and you get them. ‘Nuff said. Why not plan an experience rather than have to pick another gift? Try planning an outdoor adventure with the help of The Dyrt, a user-generated consumer subscription software for camping and the largest source of information for campgrounds throughout the United States.

7) Your dog sitter

This may actually be the most important gift you give this season! Keep them happy with a splurge gift they’d never get for themselves. Try a special accessory or handbag from Frances Valentine as a starting point.

8) For that niece or nephew who adores you

Here you have a choice. You can be the practical, upstanding influence and write a check into their 529 … or create a from scratch digital memory that they can enjoy right away. Early Bird is a digital time capsule for families to create memories, share stories, celebrate milestones, and invest in the children they love.

‍9) For your brother

Yes, you have to get him something. No, it can’t be a six-pack. Why not go the wellness route and help him get started with a personalized health plan he can implement from home? Hone Health offers personalized tele-health to help relieve symptoms quickly, reach long-term health goals, and thrive while aging.

10) For YOU

Are YOU one of the 32% of American adults who have a tattoo? Treat yourself to unique and practical tattoo skincare from Mad Rabbit. The simple, universal skincare products focus on the highest-quality, clean ingredients.
