Well, ’tis the season to be jolly! And to fa, la, la, la, la, all day long, wearing pearls, of course. Now that Black Friday sales are over and we’re in the full holiday swing, it’s time to start thinking about the perfect gifts for everyone on your gift list this season. Whether you’re celebrating 8 Crazy Nights of Lights with Chanukah or 25 Days of Christmas, or are just in the holiday spirit, here are some of our favorite gift ideas for everyone on your giving list.
For the Fitness Lover: Everyone needs a fitness tracker, especially as we try to avoid packing on the pounds of eggnog, Christmas ham, and lots and lots of stuffing. While there are dozens to choose from, the UP 24 by Jawbone is the MVP in the fitness tracker field. Tracking your steps, exercise, calories burned, and quality of sleep, you won’t be wondering where your waistline is going as long as you have the UP 24 on your wrist. Another bonus? It’s bluetooth activated, so you can store all your fitness stats on your computer and cell phone. In addition, if you’re feeling extra lazy, your UP 24 will send you a vibration alarm to get you up and moving. (Cost $109.99)
For the Foodie: Food is life’s greatest pleasure and life’s most necessary ingredient. For the foodie in your life, why not help reveal his or her inner chef with these gorgeous Sailor Marble Boards. Whether you want this for function or fashion, these marble and wood boards can serve as both cutting boards and platters to showcase your cheese and crackers at holiday functions. (Price: $54)
For the Jewelry Lover: It’s no secret that every woman needs the perfect strand of pearls, but why not create a custom bracelet or necklace for a special woman in your life? With the purchase of any clasp over $500, Pearl & Clasp will create a custom 18 inch strand of pearls that you can love for a lifetime. (Price of clasp pictured: $985)
For the Fashionista: If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the fashion lover in your life, you can’t go wrong with this slouchy cashmere tunic by Everlane. Transitioning seamlessly from season to season, it will always have a place in your closet, and will look just as chic with a pair of leggings as with a smart skirt and scarf. It won’t look bad with pearls, either! (Price: $155)
For the Environmentalist: Going green is never going to go out of style, but now you can go green in style as well. The Soma Water filter is aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Made out of biodegradable coconut filters, this beautiful filter is good for the planet and gorgeous for your home. Don’t worry, it comes with the sleek carafe as well. (Cost: $49)
Well, it’s definitely a start. And since this is the season for giving, don’t forget to give back to yourself as well!!
Keep fa, la, la, la, la-ing until next time,
