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

If none of these ideas strike your fancy . . .

other pairs I also wouldn't mind stumbling upon Christmas morning . . .

and/or . . .

HELLO, FRIENDS!

--GET UNDER MY TREE!--

7. I gifted this Patagonia Beanie to CBC a couple of years ago. And I will be requesting that he wear it to bed from now on after seeing this insta last night of my berfriend.

14. And because we can never find one when we are looking for it.

Wooden Tape Measure, Special 19 from 29, Mark and Graham

15. It's Only Money Clip, 19, J. Crew

Nice little reminder this time of year . . .

GIFT GUIDE: LITTLE GIRLS

it's so tempting to buy our kids EVERYTHING for Christmas because it's truly the most wonderful time of the year through the eyes of a child and their excitement is infectious, but when January rolls around and they are 'bored' and there's a zillion cheap toy parts laying around the party is ovah. so our approach is to mix things that are practical {boots/slippers/sports equipment} and/or will truly stand the test of time {books/collectibles} - or just really keep them busy in a positive way. so here we go!

1. HEART & BUTTERFLY BEAD SETS

2. CUBEBOT

3. SPARKLE T-SHIRT

{i must admit my girls are not too psyched to get clothes as presents these days. they want that shit just to magically appear in the drawers . . . unless . . . it is sparkly!}

5. OLIVIA BOOK & JAMMIE SET

LOVE the idea of matching jammies to the book!

9. KARAOKE MACHINE

10. LITTLE YOGA MAT

never too young to teach our girls the importance of a healthy mind & body

11. DWELL STUDIO GOLD MENAGERIE

love these collectible animals.

12. FROZEN LIGHT UP BOOTS

these are heinous, obvs, but the girls need their frozen fix and i'd rather have it with something practical then a toy. they are going to go BONKERS over these.

13. LIGHT-UP UNICORN SLIPPERS

more light-up footwear AND unicorns = happy happy girls.

14. BARBIE COLLECTOR 2014 HOLIDAY DOLL

sorry not sorry - we heart barbie.

15. ACOUSTIC GUITAR

better than a drum set

16. GLX SCOOTER
