Like many of us, this blended family has been forced to embrace a more grounded lifestyle in 2020. For the Machados, that meant fostering a greater appreciation for their Cardiff-by-the-Sea home—which naturally led them to another new venture: House of Machado (HØM). Still in its infancy, HØM will be a collection of the iconic surfer family’s favorite things.
As Sophie explains: “After traveling across the globe for decades and immersing ourselves in other cultures, we have found there truly is no place like home. We believe that the most important work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own home.” That includes memories made during the holidays. Draw inspiration from each family member’s holiday wish list to find that perfect present for the mom, dad, daughter, or son on your shopping list.
