Gwyneth Paltrow Shares Her Top Picks for Holiday Gifts

PA Photos /Landov

In this week’s installment of her newsletter Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow muses on the the spirit of the season and shares her favorite gift-giving secrets. “What is holiday spirit? For me, it means helping to create that atmosphere where loved ones feel full of cheer, like some happy secret is about to be revealed,” she says. “Holiday spirit is a feeling of warmth, of togetherness, of connectedness. We get that by giving. We get it by watching cheeks flush with color when something opened and in the hands conveys a message: I know you, I get you, I see you.” Her top gift choices to show she cares include the Flip Ultra Camcorder, ($149) — which is also one of PEOPLE.com’s choices in our Star Favorites: The Chicest Gifts. “This thing is genius,” she says. (We agree!) Gwyneth also loves Chris Bolton Jewelry Tag necklaces ($150) imprinted with a loved one’s name. “I personalized mine and I wear it everyday,” she writes. And while the star has been known for sticking to a macrobiotic diet, she lets us in on one of her favorite indulgences: Bridgewater Chocolates ($110), which are “My absolute favorite chocolate in the entire world. I send these out to special people every year.” Want more of her holiday favorites? Click here to read her full list.

Unbelievable…

Ugh. I don’t like her. She has this look on her face like she’s smelling something slightly unpleasant.

She’s completely clueless as well. Nattering on about $110 chocolates while the news lately has just been filled with layoffs, economic collapse, etc. etc. SHUT UP Gwynnie.

Don’t know how someone as awesome as Blythe Danner has such an icky daughter.

LOL

Is this woman relavant? Has she ever been?

Come on you guys, is only 110 dollars for chocolate or 110 boxes of mac N cheese , or maybe about 50 liters of milk, If i only give my humble advice to Gwyneth is why n ot instead of buying the chocolate just buy a gift or two or three for some prefect stranger?

Why is everybody hating on Gwyneth for buying chocolate that cost $110.00; so what!!! it’s her money and she is rich, that is pocket change to her. When you are a millionare you live and buy differently from average working class people. Get a life and stop criticizing her for offering up her opinion for gift choices.

Regina

These posts are HIGHlarious! I agree with all the Gwyn haters. What a self absorbed moron! She spends $110 on chocolates and her kids look homeless; and her husband has brown teeth! Gross…

$110 chocolate? How insensitive! And shame on People Magazine for even publishing this – what an insult to your readers who are worried about losing their jobs and paying their mortgages right now! Happy Holidays Gwenyth!

Megan

Jealous, jealous, jealous. It’s a gossip mag, people, not a philanthropy digest. GP has earned her money, and she can spend it in any manner she likes. She and her husband do more for charity than most of us will ever dream of. Merry Christmas, grinches!!

JNelson

Jeesh! Give her a break! She is a real person like anyone else and you don’t have to run out and buy what she does…those of you who say you don’t care about what she recommends should check yourselves, why did you click on the link then???
It’s just her opinion…don’t buy $110 chocolates if it isn’t in your budget, but don’t begrude her because she can! Don’t sound so bitter!

Cranky

No. She’s had too many breaks already and it’s made her the self-absorbed twit that she is.
