HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS
10 ideas... 10 days left!
1. Custom Drawer Inserts
A custom drawer insert is a great addition to a vanity, bedside table, jewelry drawer, or anywhere your loved-ones might keep their daily necessities. The added organization provides endless value and peace of mind, making this the gift that just keeps giving for years to come!
2. LAmove Mobile Closet
This international carry-on is your complete mobile wardrobe. Just hang the open suitcase in a hotel closet and its unique shelf and compartment system keeps your wardrobe ultra-organized and accessible - perfect for jet setters! A separate garment section neatly stores suits and dresses. Everything has its place. Its lightweight construction and sleek, modern design ensure the recipient will never want to travel without their newest travel companion.
3. DYSON supersonic Hair Dryer
No one combines raw functionality and modern sophistication quite like Dyson with their new supersonic blow dryer. Sure, I know what you're thinking, everyone on your holiday gift list probably does have a hair dryer - but not this one. The Dyson hair dryer has intelligent technology, which helps prevent heat damage and protect hair’s natural shine. The temperature is measured 20 times a second and transmitted to a microprocessor, which intelligently prevents the heating element from reaching extreme, hair damaging temperatures. Not to mention, it's one of the chicest looking gadgets on the market this year.
4. PRADA Hardcover
This black book retrospective is 700+ pages tracing the brand's rich presence in the worlds of fashion, art, architecture, communications, and cinema. The book itself is a work of art, and will surely bring the luxury fashion house's signature style to any collection (or coffee table) without breaking the bank!
5. Tom Dixon stemware/barware
What better way to serve up holiday cheer than a sexy set of copper martini glasses courtesy of designer Tom Dixon. Ringing in the New Year with his new Plum cocktail line will ensure nothing but the best for you and yours in 2017.
6. Turkish Towel Company - black makeup towel
This is a life changer. I discovered it at the Ojai Hotel & Spa. Why use white towels when removing makeup when you can use these cute black MAKEUP towels? You will never ruin another white towel again!
7. Bun Cuff - Chloe + Isabel
It is so hard to find good hair accessories, and this bun cuff by Jen Atkin in collaboration with Chloe + Isabel is EVERYTHING. Polish off your top knot with this gold bun cuff while keeping the rest of your outfit subtle and muted—it’s the only jewelry you’ll need!
8. Marble Coasters - marbleandmetal
The only thing worse than damaging your furniture is having to use an ugly coaster - lucky for us, marbleandmetal has crafted this stunning set of white marble coasters and accompanying tray! They're available via Etsy and are sure to elevate any tablescape.
9. Cashmere Throw from Parachute Home
'Like a sweater for your sofa.' So soft!
10. Make a charitable donation!
Around the holidays, it's easy to get caught up with all the 'stuff' we can give our loved ones to show we care - however, donating our time or resources to a cause is a great form of gift-giving we often overlook.
My second cousin has been diagnosed with Kleefstra Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability and various other neurological and physical abnormalities. As a former chemist, philanthropist and family member, I am determined to do my part to build awareness and find a cure. I can’t think of a better gift than donating to a favorite charity of your gift recipient and making a donation on their behalf.
