It’s time to start thinking about holiday gift giving. Buying and wrapping early helps avoid adding stress to an already busy season! I tell myself this every year - and sometimes, I actually succeed!
And having pretty packages on display allows you to enjoy them for longer too - even if (or maybe especially if) you are carrying them off to recipients in other places for the actual holiday.
We’ve assembled a few ideas that will be sure to delight and won’t break the bank.

Personal Clothing and Accessories
These ponte wide leg pants are a personal favorite go-to item. They always look polished and are incredibly comfortable. Perfect for work, a night out, or travel. I also have the cotton ribbed tank shown with them, which I love. Black is timeless and versatile, but both come in other colors.
The merino wool duster length cardigan (available in several colors) is an easy sweater to toss on for warmth and a chic finish to a pant outfit. Also, pockets - need I say more? And the cashmere crew is a timeless luxury piece for a bargain price of $55 or less depending on the color you choose.
Accessories are always great for gifts or stocking stuffers and these cashmere lined leather gloves are available in caramel, black or dark brown to pair with any coat.
If yo own a smart watch, you know the standard band it comes with is often less than ideal. I love this smart watch band that elevates the look to jewelry status.
Travel Accessories
If you need to buy a gift for a travel aficionado, these fabulous leather accessories are perfect options. An RFID passport and card holder and matching luggage tags are a thoughtful idea.
And a crossbody phone holder is invaluable for a tourist! I love mine - it keeps your phone both safe and instantly available.
Home luxuries
A digital frame is the perfect gift for relatives (every grandparent needs one!). You can add pictures to the scrolling display remotely from anywhere right from your phone! (this is a 10” frame but there are other frame styles and sizes available)
Who doesn’t love a cappuccino or espresso or latte treat? And this Casabrews machine, available in a variety of patterns and colors, will look great on your kitchen or coffee bar counter. Buy one for yourself AND your favorite coffee lover.
And finally, to feed my scallop-loving soulmates, here are two scalloped homewares I couldn’t resist. The lacquer serving tray comes in a number of shapes, colors and patterns. And these linen scalloped napkins are a generous 20” dinner size and available in 3 color combinations.
