Dahlings, only 13 days to go before Xmas! Are you exhausted with all the Christmas shopping? It can be a very anxiety inducing endeavor trying to find the perfect gift for all the wonderful people in your life. It's very taxing. I have no such anxieties as I do my best to avoid all that madness. I'm planning on getting my man a gift and will only purchase gifts for the babies in the family. That's it. I'm done. But I've created a wish list of items that I'm coveting in case anyone asks for my Xmas wish list. A girl must be prepared for such requests. Here are some fun items that would make perfect gifts for that phenomenal woman in your life and it's okay if you're the only phenomenal woman you know: wink. wink. And the best part; everything on the list is insanely affordable!
1. Clipa Handbag Hanger is a must to keep purses off the ground. According to the folks at Clipa you simply clip it to your handbag strap and leave it there and it instantly hooks onto table edges, chairs, doors, rails etc. nice.($25, shopintuition.com).
2. I love coffeetable books, especially those that offer a sneak peek into the world of fashion, art and design. I'm curious about the The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman (sale $16.50, amazon.com) featuring inspiring street style. Be sure to check out the blog during a slow day at work.
3. If you have a friend who loves to cook, bake, mix drinks and entertains often this apron from Anthropologie is a must. Each apron is a work of art, blending whimsical prints with delicious details like pleats, rickrack trim, eyelet lace and ruffles. They're almost too pretty to wear! And unlike Anthropologie's clothing, which tends to be priced just out of reach, these fashionable aprons range from roughly $24 for a child's apron to $38 for adults.
4. A woman can never have enough hangbags, really. But this one is a decent price, roomy and very versatile. Check out this $90 Melie Bianco tote.
5. For the girl making things happen or climbing that ladder at work these personalized $28 business card cases from Neiman's say business with some fun on the side due to the bright colors.
6. What girl doesn't love Tiffany's? Maybe you're not making Tiffany money or don't have someone your life to lavish you with such niceties but you can give that someone special this little gift: Tiffany’s Key charms are the jewelry gift this holiday, and this small silver version ($100) is subtle enough to wear every day – and it comes in that infamous blue box. This cute coin purse ( $50) is also a fun and cheaper option.
7. I'm loving these cute plush booties ( $36) to wear around the house on cold days. Perfect for opening presents on Xmas morning. And these Ann Taylor loft comfy slippers for $24 are just as adorable.
8. I love notebooks, little ones preferably in bright colors. Loving these $15 Philip Keel Simple Dairy books that "helps us look inside because we are overloaded outside."
9. Glove Love. The Ten-Finger Mitten. A friend of mine scored one of these at the annual office White Elephant gift exchange. I was standing next to her and tried them on and fell in love. Too bad she wasn't drunk so I could slip them in my bag without her knowing. But this one from Anthropologie is just as cute. I've also been feigning for a serious leather glove. My mother-in-law gave me pair for Christmas one year but who knows where they are now. There's something elegant about a leather glove that I love. I'm eyeing this one from J.Crew.
10. There's nothing like a great watch. It's rare these days to find someone with a watch. But not only is a watch functional but it can also be immensely fashionable. I'm loving this collection of wrap watches by La Mer with prices that start at $84. You can also customize them if you drop more money.
Final Word: Yes, it is a pleasure to give but I really enjoy receiving. Here's hoping the Hubby and loved ones are reading this post. Happy Holiday's Dahlings!
