Monday doesn’t seem so bad when there’s a short workweek on deck and Thanksgiving to look forward to, right?! It’s almost as if I can hear the resounding “yes” – confirming the fact.
This weekend was so much fun and it has me even more excited for the festivities that will be taking place over the next month! We celebrated Friendsgiving on Saturday with dinner/drinks at The Jacobson (if you’re in Kansas City, their boozy concoctions are not to be missed) and followed it up with ice skating at Crown Center. If you’re wondering how that went, there was only one wipeout and I’m happy to confirm it wasn’t me – other than that, my lips are sealed 😉
On to the real reason you’re here! A gift guide filled with little luxuries your friends and family might not splurge on for themselves.
I have these mirrored trays and love them. They’re great for stacking coffee table books, candles, coasters and let’s be honest, more boring things like the remote. Other great items to deck the bar cart with include a set of cocktail glasses, an adorable match strike and a glass decanter.
I use this Oribe dry texturizing spray every. single. day. and it would make a great gift for the gals who love to play up their everyday look.
On the fashion front, my Charleston rice beads are my most complimented accessory! I’m thinking of adding this down vest to my own wish list this year and I’ve never met a pom hat I didn’t like (evidence here).
Tie a recipe to this spoon rest with red ribbon or add a few of your favorites to this recipe box and you’ve got yourself a quick, affordable gift for just about anyone on your list!
VelvetCrate takes the guesswork out of gift giving and creates holiday/season specific gift sets wrapped up and ready to go.
Are you sticking to online shopping after the holiday or are you one of the brave souls who like to mix and mingle with the crowds?

Tip: Nordstrom and Shopbop are by far two of my favorite retailers for several reasons. They both offer a wide variety of brands, shipping is free (and fast, I might add) and if whatever you purchased didn’t work out, returns are just as smooth – while also being free of charge. It’s a no-brainer, really. Be sure to check out both Shopbop’s gift guides and Nordstrom’s gift guides for a slew of additional gift ideas this holiday season!
What a great compilation of luxurious little gift ideas! I love those leopard slippers! Thank you so much for sharing and have a Happy Monday!

I’ve been hearing such good things about that Oribe texturizing spray; I just need to bite the bullet and try it out! Although I like to online shop for Black Friday, there’s something about the excitement that will probably make me leave my house and pop into at least Target to see if there’s anything worth braving the crowds for 🙂
Seriously, give it a try. I’ve converted so many people to it! Let me know what you think 😉
Love your gift selections! I’ve usually gone outside to shop but it seems the crowds have gotten larger in the recent years. I’m now experimenting with online shopping for gifts.
Online is the only way to go if you ask me! Saves such a headache 🙂
Love this gift guide! The recipe box is adorable!
That booze decanter has my name written all over it!!
