GIFT GUIDE FOR HER

I'm a sucker for "themed" gifts and I love the idea of pairing or grouping a few lovely things together.  It provides an extra element of thoughtfulness {which is all we really want, by the way}.  Here are a few pairings for the special ladies in your life.  Moms, grandmoms, daughters, sisters, friends . . . ahem, wives. 

#horsefacehints

1. Pink Veuve makes me smile and these gorgeous champagne coupes elevate the gift to one she'll remember long after the bubbly is gone.

Rosy-cheeked Coupes, 68, BHLDN

2. Every gal needs a good jewelry roll for home or especially when she takes her baubles on the road.  Hide a pair of pretty earrings in it for an added surprise.  

Jewelry Roll, 48, Nordstrom

Arista Studs, 48, Loren Hope

3. Never enough cozy slippers around {especially if you have a George who takes revenge upon innocent slippers #sohandsomesonaughty} and I've been eyeing this Marigot robe for years.  So soft and the cutest prints.  And on sale, finally.

Faux Fur Slippers, 78, Shopbop

Lorient Block Print Robe, 118, Marigot Collection

4. Love gifting beautiful candles and fun matches.  Candles are a wonderful gifts because they are consumables and something people aren't likely to splurge on for themselves.

Diptyque candle, 35-60, Nordstrom

XL matchbox, 11, Waiting on Martha

5. Nothing quite beats curling up with a cozy blankie and a good book.  

These soft & beautiful herringbone throws come in pretty much every color.  Add book of your choice {my go-to gift book this year is Humans of new York Stories because it is freaking amazing}

Gia Italian Herringbone Throw, 98, Lulu & Georgia

{last day to order these in time for Christmas is today, 12/11!}

Humans of New York Stories, 16.50, Amazon

6. I am so smitten with these hand-made Jill Rosenwald vases.  They are little works of art.  

Add a subscription to the Bouqs so she has gorgeous blooms delivered every month to put her new fabulous vase to good use.  I'm kind of obsessed with what a good idea this is, if I do say so myself.  the Bouqs delivers gorgeous farm fresh blooms from eco-freindly farms.  

LOVE.

Lucky Stripe Vase, 156, Design Darling

Fresh Flowers, starting at 40, The Bouqs
