Look no further: 15 gift ideas
Iām so excited to share with you some of my personal all-time favorite things! Ā Since weāre in the gift giving season, I call them āgift ideas,ā but really, why not also treat yourselves before the holidays? I own all of these myself, and they are either practical or bring a little joy every single day. After touring a favorite Portland spot called Providore Fine Foods, I was reminded of how exciting it is to discover new things. Ā So, my hope is that you will be inspired to either buy yourself a little something special, or cross some gift giving off your list!
P.S.Ā AND ā¦ since weāre entering gift-giving season, and covering all the upcoming sales and cyber deals, you wonāt want to miss ANY posts. Ā You canĀ SUBSCRIBE HERE ā youāll be the first to know, and youāll be in the know!
One // Blue and White Chinese Jars – Ā These are sprinkled all over my house, and they make us all so happy! Ā They look beautiful when empty, but they are often filled with branches or flowers cut from my garden, or a seasonal plant. Ā These jars are everywhere lately, but several of my own come from Wisteria. If you arenāt into blue and white, they have solid white and those are equally as beautiful.
Two // Cashmere Blanket –Ā A true luxury, these cashmere blankets from Williams Sonoma Home will get plenty of use around your house. Super soft and available in the prettiest colors, theyāre perfect for accessorizing and even better for snuggling up! Sometimes you can even find them on sale.
Three // Rose Hand Soap –Ā I used to drive across town to purchase this soap, way before the Amazon years š Ā So, imagine my surprise when my favorite retailer started carrying this line of hand soaps! Ā I love the rose (partly due to the pretty pink writing) but all the scents are really nice. Pick one and Iām sure youāll love it. Ā And, you can find refills on Amazon!
Four // Candles –Ā You might be getting tired of how much I talk about candles, but theyāre truly my little indulgence.Ā Favorites includeĀ Santal 26, Baies, and Jo Malone. Ā Oh, and I just tried this one by Boy SmellsĀ … you will love it!
Five // Italy –Ā I’ve been collecting coffee table books for years. When I spotted this book on Italy while roaming around Anthropologie, I knew it was coming home with me. Ā Gray Malin is an incredible photographer, and this book will have you dreaming of the Amalfi Coast. On the opening page, Gray is standing against the cutest VW bug that he borrowed from Hotel Poseidon, the charming hotel where we stayed in Posiitano. You can buy the book here too. Read more here!
More gift favorites!
Six // Bra and PantiesĀ –Ā The Natori Feathers bra is the number one seller for a good reason. Ā Itās a little sexy, works with every top you own, and comes in several really pretty colors. Ā Pick up a matching Natori thong, and youāll feel good under all your beautiful clothes! Ā And, if youāre in the gifting mode, most everyone loves new bras and panties.
Seven // Charlotte Tilbury Kidmanās Kiss –Ā This is my every day lipstick, and I always get compliments! Try it with a Chanel glossĀ for just the right amount of shine.
Eight // AG Denim Jacket –Ā I canāt imagine a wardrobe without a great denim jacket.Ā This one is soft, super comfy due to a little stretch, and an absolute must-have for anyone, any age!
Nine // Santal 33 Perfume –Ā Another absolute favorite, and something I wear most every day. Ā Since itās unisex, your favorite guy can wear it too. Ā Itās the perfect gift for someone special …. or for yourself. Ā Donāt forget the lotion, itās pretty amazing too.
Ten // Gucci Sunglasses –Ā If youāve followed me for awhile, you may have noticed I’m wearing these sunglasses in most photos. Ā I try branching out to other styles, but these are always the ones I end up wearing. Thereās something about black sunnies that add extra glamour to every outfit!
Final 5!
Eleven // Poppy Finch Necklace – I havenāt taken mine off in months! This necklace makes the perfect gift. Ā The chain is really sparkly, and itās pretty with everything.
Twelve // Tissue Weight Cashmere Scarf – I recommend everyone own one of these scarves. Itās thin enough to take traveling, (perfect for the flight) and no matter the season, it adds just the right amount of warmth on chilly days. Pick a new color, or stick with the basic black. Ā You canāt go wrong!
Thirteen // Pottery Barn Flameless Candles – Iāve written about theseĀ candles before because this is something EVERYONE should own! Ā Iām not suggesting they should replace votive candles. Ā Iām suggesting that you Ā incorporate these with real candles, perhaps up on mantles or in hard to reach spots, and I promise … no one will know they arenāt real! Ā AND they come with a remote.
Fourteen // Mother Dazzler Jeans ā If you purchase one pair of jeans — either for yourself or as a gift — let it beĀ Mother āāDazzlerā jeans. They are a flattering fit on everyone, and are a slim straight leg style which is quite fashionable at the moment. These are now available in several washes too!
Fifteen // Packing Cubes – I shouldnāt have saved these for last, because they are SO GOOD!Ā As a matter of fact, they’re kind of life changing. Itās crazy how much fits in each cube, and how organized you will feel when traveling. Try these for your next trip. Ā I also purchased these from Amazon for my kids!
