It's that time of year again - Christmas! Hooray! However, some of us can get really overwhelmed when it comes to shopping. So, here is a short list of great gifts this year...
For the trendy girl, cat-eyed sunglasses are all the rage. Celebrities have been sporting them for months. My top three pics are these Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and YSL ones. All a little different and unique but all so chic and any trend-setter will love them!
For the busy girl that is always running around town in her casual clothes, a great find are these Frye flats. Everyone knows Frye boots and how lusciously soft they can be. Well, these flats are just as soft and yummy and are only $128. They are extremely comfortable and the perfect addition to any casual outfit!
For the name-brand loving girl, Chanel has come out with a new fragrance this year, CoCo Noir. It smells great and if packaged beautifully. And at $98, it's a fraction of the price of anything else Chanel so any name-brand lover will cherish it!
For the party girl that loves to go out on the town, this silver, almost pewter, Cole Haan wristlet is a great find. It's not sooooo small like most wristlets that you can't fit all of your stuff in. It's a little bigger so you can put your smart phone and make up. She can even fit a small camera to capture the night out! And, at only $68 it's a great gift.
For the luxury loving girl, this Rowallan of Scotland Jewelry Box will look like her very own treasure chest. It's leather covered, has 12 drawers, and has a lift-out travel box for all her special pieces. It is pricey at $525 but Louis Vuitton's version is over $5000 so it is actually a steal. Any woman would feel like a queen with crown jewels with this case!
For the wine lover, why not give a gift that keeps giving. Gift a membership to a winery and every month, she will receive a shipment of wine. One of my favorite vineyards is Frank Family but there are so many to choose from with all types of price ranges. Any wine enthusiast would love this gift!
Now moving on to a hostess gift....so many of us spend nights or weekends at guests houses over the holidays and we go to so many holiday parties that we need ideas for hostess gifts. One great find is this hand lotion by Gianna Rose for only $22. You can get it personalized with the families last name's initial for a special touch. It will really show the hostess that you thought ahead and really appreciate their hospitality
We certainly can't forget the men in your life. For the sports-loving man, a travel table tennis set from Restoration Hardware is sure to be a winner. It comes in a great box so he can travel with his ping pong set to any party or vacation. Sure to be hours of fun and at only $35 it's a great stocking stuffer.
For the handy man, the new Cabela's Leatherman one-hand tool has plenty of his gadget needs. And, it's only $70 so it's a great gift.
Lastly, for the bourbon drinker, get him his own personalized bourbon barrel from Maker's Mark. It's a little more pricey at $100 but he will sure to feel like part of the distilling process with a barrel with his name on it to hang in his bar.
So start your holidy shopping and have a very Merry Christmas!
