Tis the season!
I curated a really fun and unique holiday gift guide up for you today. I try to find unique treasures and gifts – just because they’re way more exciting to give – and receive. I personally have had my eye on these items for awhile.
I actually have a “gift idea” bookmark list in my iPhone and save things as I come across them through out the year. From hostess gifts, to stocking stuffers and everything in between. I normally scrounge at the last minute, but I promised myself I would get ahead of the game this year. We’ll see what happens 😉
A few highlights…
- I’m seriously dying over these Carry On Cocktail Kits for flying. I want to get my husband this one and maybe I’ll get this one for myself. That’s the rule right?
- One of my favorite go to gifts is a personalized luggage tag placed over the neck of an earthy Pinot Noir or bright bubbly. Usually I skip the monogramming – because once again – I am scrounging last minute. But monogramming sends an unconscious message that you really thought of them and took the time to plan out your gift. Perfect for sucking up to the boss or mother-in-law.
- This portable fire place candle. Awesomeness all around. If you want to take it up a notch, wrap it up with a luxe throw and a bundle of tea. Kind of like a cozy night in home kit. You could even pair it with a new book.
- And last but not least, if you’ve known me for a while, then you are well aware of my love for the Emily Ley Simplified Planner. The gift of organization is one of those gifts that keeps on giving and they are so pretty. The sell out fast – so be sure to hop on this now if you like it! I get this every year and called around to 5 stores to find it last year.
The Fireplace candle is a great tip! We have a gas fireplace and miss the smell of a real fire. Genius! Thanks, Nicole!

Thank you Alicia! I think a fireplace should be a requirement these days 😉 But in the meantime, this is the next best thing 🙂
