Hello friends. It’s Thanksgiving week so the official start of the Christmas season is just a few days away. Since many of you will get started gift shopping this weekend, I’m dedicating several of my blog posts this week to gifting! I’ll be sharing holiday gift guides (some traditional and some unexpected), along with fun gift giving & gift wrap ideas.
I’m kicking things off today with my first gift guide, Gift For Her. This is one of my favorite gift guides to pull together because everything I’m sharing is something I already own or would love to. If you’ve made your list and checked it twice, I hope this gift guide helps you find the perfect holiday gift. Happy shopping!

GIFTS FOR HER
No. 1: Tropical Travel Bag Set ($63.00)–When I was a clothing buyer, I traveled a lot and had plastic pouches to keep my luggage organized. Back then, function was more important than looks. Today, I want my travel pieces to function and look pretty so I was thrilled when came across these travel bags. The bold colors and whimsical prints have me thinking about a tropical getaway.
No. 2: UGG Cozy Knit Slippers ($120.00)–It took me a long time to jump on the UGG bandwagon but once I did, I was hooked. Just like UGG boots, these fleece lined slippers will keep feet warm and cozy during the winter months.
No. 3: McKenna Leather Travel Jewelry Box ($24.00 + free monogram)–I’ve owned several travel jewelry cases over the years but have yet to find the perfect one. This leather box just might be it. The compact size makes it great to slip into a carry-on and the interior will keep things neat and tidy. The hardest part of buying this as a gift will be deciding which color to get.
No.4: Painted Blooms Post Earrings ($38.00–available in 5 colors)–Statement earrings that would look just as great with jeans and a sweater as well as a little black dress.
No. 5: Colorblock Cuff (Sale $39.99)–These chic cuff bracelets from have made my holiday gift list a few years running. I love all the preppy color combo but the black and tortoise is my favorite. If you have a fashionista on your gift list, you’ll want to grab one of these bracelets while they’re on sale.
No. 6: Double Sided Wool Scarf ($69.99–available in 3 color combos)– I have a thing for pink and red and even decorated using these colors last Christmas. What a fun pop of color to add to any outfit.
No.7: The Southern Living Party Cookbook ($22.48–release date Nov. 20th)–A pretty cover + fun recipes + party inspiration make this a great book for anyone who loves to entertain.
No. 8: Monogram Herringbone Initial Throw ($50.00)–This classic grey and white herringbone throw is the perfect way to cozy up during the winter. A great gift for a girlfriend or as a family gift.
No. 9: Cheetah Hair On Hide Card Case ($30.00)–A fun little accessory for anyone that loves animal prints. There’s also this clutch and these cute animal print earrings.
No. 10: Calpak Kaya Backpack ($89.00)–A great backpack for the woman on the go. Black is a classic color but I love the natural and cadet blue colorways in as well.
No. 11: Kate Spade Tortoise Clipboard ($36.00)–I own a lot of tortoise decor so this pretty clipboard just speaks to me. What a chic office accessory!
No. 12: Great Quotes for Great Women ($15.95)–I love this collection of inspirational quotes from inspiring women. This would make a great read to kick off the new year.
No. 13: Buffalo Check Monogram Notepad ($25.00)–Every woman should have their own pretty stationery. This pretty check design is just one of the many designs you can choose from.
I don’t know about you but I’m really trying to make the most of the long weekend before the hustle and bustle of fall and holiday activities start. First up on my to-do list is cleaning out the storage closet in my garage. If you don’t hear from me next week, send out a search party. Here’s a round-up of my favorite reads and inspiration from the week. Enjoy!
