I am a big fan of giftguides. I always strive to get someone a gift that they will not only love, but also rave about. You don't have to spend half your paycheck to get a great gift - there are some great products out there for everyone in your life at a reasonable price! Most magazines & department stores have guides on their websites as well as in print - I highly recommed perusing them. Below I've created my
own "gift guide" (
my christmas wishlist mixed with a few of my favorite products) Happy Holidays & Happy Shopping!
I love movies from my childhood (I swear they just don't make 'em like they used to!!)...& am glad I can now buy them on DVD to watch whenever I want. Currently on my list to acquire: Home Alone 1
&2, Hocus Pocus, & Drop Dead Fred. CLASSICS!
I'm in the market for a timeless, classic wallet. I love this quilted leather Tory Burch wallet in red..or black...
Brocade home now sells duvet covers, shams, & pillows. Woohoo! :) Best of all, they're reasonably priced!
Who could go wrong with giving the gift of David Yurman? Current / future boyfriends, fiances, & husbands take note.... you can
never go wrong with David Yurman.
I adore the tartan scottish print of the MAC travel brushes case... Perfect stocking stuffer for any woman, any age.
Sephora sells a limited selection of mini rollerball perfumes - perfect to throw in a purse on the go, & small enough to bring in flight! Lucky for me, my new personal scent is offered in a rollerball. Warning: a little of this Chloe' perfume goes a l
oooooong
way.
Hoping in the year 2011 I will transform into an organized person. (This coming from the girl who LIVES for her outlook calendar). I may just make a new years resolution to keep my appts and to-do's neatly written down in this chic leather planner that will fit perfectly in my LV. Just maybe.
Perfect for the girl who works a 9-5. Realizing I spend majority of my waking hours at my desk in Boston...I need to invest in one of these Jonathan Adler desk calendars. Quick &
inexpensive way to brighten someone's day & simultaneously spark their memory of you every time they look at the date :)

Jonathan Adler 2011 Desk Calendar $10
The best makeup set I have purchased in my 25 years on this planet. I use each & every product included in the set. I have brown eyes, but prefer plum tones to bring out the color of my eyes, so I bought the Hazel Eyes set pictured below. |
Monogrammed stationary - a must. I write quite a few thank you notes to managers, mentors, friends, & family throughout the year, so in my opinion this is a timeless gift. The stationary below was found on Etsy, though I also recommend checking out Horchow.com
As you can see, I'm on a big monogrammed gift kick. I love opening a gift that I not only love, but also has been tailored to be for
me. I would love this hanging over my desk. Jack&Lulu offers different monogramming styles as well as background patterns. Even better - for only $50 it comes matted & framed.
Still on the monogramming kick ... these aprons are actually a great heavyweight cotton & perfect for any chef. I have ruined more cardigans & blouses by
not wearing an apron when cooking...
I struggle to buy gifts for people who have everything. I've been told I fall into that category. If you're struggling to buy me a gift - these simple handblown Ikea vases are amazing!
Toms. One simple word that signifies such a great cause and inspiring story. Their story is based upon the slogan of "One For One". For every one pair of TOMS bought, a pair will be donated to a child in need. Story aside, they're incredibly comfortable. I bought the pair below while on vacation in Sonoma, CA & have worn them
everywhere. They are sold in various fabrics, patterns, & colors - & are truly far more comfortable than any flipflop or converse sneaker. I love the bright orange shoe with a great pair of dark wash ankle length jeans. The best gift is a gift that gives back.
