I have always enjoyed helping my clients select their holiday gifts and believe it or not, I even enjoyed wrapping them all myself as well (read to the end to see my budget gift wrapping tip)! Now that I am retired from Nordstrom, I still love the thrill of the hunt. Check out these ‘best of the best’ gifts and beautiful style boards. To make your shopping easier, simply tap on the image/style board to be directed to the exact items.
I’ve included presents that will impress your man, your kids, mother, sisters, co-workers and basically all the peeps in your life – even the pickiest ones on your list! These gift ideas are a mix of chic, practical and elevated pieces. Bookmark this post to refer back to all season. And remember my extensive gift guides can be found here.
So since the holidays will be here a little earlier this year, grab a cup of coffee, get comfy and explore my finds and enjoy! And don’t be surprised if you find a gift or two for yourself 🙂

GiVE Gucci
Let’s face it, we all want gifts from Gucci right? I saw the kitten heels on a friend last week – she was saying how comfortable they are but go up in size, now I want them too! Here are some of the newest luxe pieces, warning you might actually want for yourself!
Cozy Gifts
I was gifted Diptique’s Sapin and have been obsessed ever since! It luscious and sells out in stores as soon as it comes in, so just order instead! The Burberry card holder is the perfect gift for the guy who doesn’t like a traditional bulky wallet. These stripe bathrobes make amazing gifts (more colors available) and on Black Friday Sale now. Missoni towels? Yes please! I love the graphic black and white MacKenzie-Childs new assortment for Holiday!
Available in 3 colors, this new unisex scarf can be worn alone or layered. It’s even cozy for lounging at home! Give your loved one a warm hug with this perfect gift. Here
Aren’t these cut glass cake stands ($68) so pretty! Check out the under $30 candlestick holders here too. I’ve been collecting MacKenzie-Childs for years and I’m obsessed with their new patterns. They have so many amazing gifts right now and under $100! Two sizes starting at $119, shop cake stand here.
Coffee table books make great reasonably priced gifts. Check out Leanne Ford’s new book here. I’m obsessed with these Hermes books here!

I love everything about this look!
For The Guys
For the Kiddos
I’m adding this sweet stocking for my newest grand-daughter, Aly Rose. The cutest chefs uniform is perfect for my other grand-daughter who is a pretty great chef already at age four!
Black Friday savings on the vintage green scooter!
My daughters have great taste and always prefer natural toys made of wood vs plastic. So even tho these gifts are all perfect for my grands, I find myself wanting to make sure their mama will approve too. These gifts have checked all the boxes!
* Many more kids gift guides here!
Sometimes toys and playrooms can be eye sores, but these high quality toys will look great in any nursery or playroom. They’re also classic toys that will last for generations!
Presentation is everything!
Simple wrapping is sometimes the chicest choice. Center photo – McGee Gift Wrap here.
Presentation is everything! How many times have you heard “this present is so pretty that I hate to ruin and unwrap it”? Sometimes the creative and pretty gift wrapping is even better than the gift inside lol!
Gift wrapping tip: If you love a chicly wrapped present like I do but want to cut down on the cost, buy one jumbo roll of black matte paper from Amazon here. Then tie your ribbons (or use twine for as natural gift wrap) like you would tie your sneaker. Add a piece of greenery from outside to further decorate the package. Simple and beautiful!
On a budget? You don’t have to compromise style, use newspaper with a bright ribbon!
