A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

So here is part 2 of the holiday gift guide. First up, jewelry. Its hard to pick something out because jewelry is so personal (always include a gift receipt 😉 ) Here are the things I’m loving this season:

Necklace from Banana Republic (top left) – For me, it’s go big or go home. I bought this for myself and have had so many compliments on it. Wear it dressed up with a LBD or free is down with a button down shirt. The ice cut button necklace is $98, but if you hurry you can catch it on sale for 40% off – so it would be $62 and free shipping.

Kate Spade Earrings (top right) – These drop earrings ($103.60) sold out on the Nordstrom website so quickly. I was so bummed that I missed out, but then they showed up on Amazon and I swooped them right up!

Giles and Brother Stirrup Bracelet (middle right)- $135 and you can customize it for free! I have the railroad spike bracelet and I think that this would be a great one to add to the stack!

Personalized Bangle from Jac & Hugo (bottom right) – $191 This hand stamped bangle is great for those who might want to do a special piece for their kids (and who don’t want to have something everyone else does). Made in Australia, you can have this silver bangle stamped with your kid’s names (if you have them), your favorite quote, or a special date for you and your significant other.

Kate Spade Stud Earrings (bottom middle)- $38 These studs come in a variety of different colors and add just the right amount of color to any holiday outfit.

Ani and Ani Flying Kites bracelet (bottom left)- $38. Great bracelet and a great cause. Alex and Ani will donate 20% of the purchase price of the bracelet to Flying Kites, who provides a transformative education to vulnerable and critically-poor children in Kenya, empowering them to build strong families and prosperous communities.

Here are some picks for the home. I tried to pick things at all different price points and gifts that could be used for different occasions (for example: the sprinkles for a holiday swap or a co-worker, the bowl for a great couple you know, the bin for your bestie or your mom, and the gingerbread house for a hostess gift).

Sprinkles from Fishs Eddy (top left) – $22.95 These “I Like You” sprinkles are amazing. They just add the perfect sparkle to any dessert. I made chocolate covered white pretzels and sprinkles these on top – but I think cupcakes would be amazing with these as a garnish!

Large Bowl from Crate and Barrel (top right) – $19.95 This comes in two sizes, large and individual, and in two colors, red and navy. This is a go to gift for me. I love putting together this bowl with popcorn and boxes of candy to make a perfect movie night at home gift! If you want to add more, you could add movie tickets or popcorn seasonings too.

Verdant Bread Bin from Anthropolgie (bottom right)- $158 This would look amazing in any kitchen! I just got one of these after coveting it for some time.

Gingerbread House Mug Topper from William Sonoma (bottom left)- $11.95 These are so adorable. I think these would be a great hostess gift for a holiday party, something extravagant that you wouldn’t necessarily buy yourself. Plus, how instagram worthy are they, am I right?!?!

What pieces of jewelry are you hoping for this season? And what are your favorite gifts to give for the home?
