Finding perfect gifts is a passion of mine. I get to think about different types of people, in this case women. I visualize who they are, what they and their lives are like, and what they would absolutely love to have and use. Then I add my aesthetic to all of that information, tap my resources, and voila! Gifts!
For the wanderlust or Businesswoman there are great options to house all of your essentials and wardrobe. To quote one of my favorite style icons and sages Diane Von Furstenberg “You pack lightly you live lightly”. Solgaard’s The Trunk: A Check in Closet is just that, it extends into shelving, so you have an extended shelving unit that sprouts out of your luggage. This luggage is also available in a carryon. Hook and Albert’s Women’s Navy Leather Garment Weekender Bag is a great carry-on and short trip option. It is a Garment Bag and luggage all rolled into one lovely piece of luggage, which folds completely flat for easy storage. Another great travel companion is the Backslash Fit Smart Yoga Mat, which is self-rolling and comes with Yoga routines!
Since the #futureisfemale…I think we women all need to start writing and organizing their thoughts. reMarkable is a digital device that houses numerous notebooks, feels like paper and even makes the sound of a pencil on paper, has a no glare display, can be used to create art, and transcribes your handwriting into text. It allows one to email and surf the web, however the one thing it doesn’t have on it is social media apps, so no distractions. So for those who love to write down and draw their thoughts, instead of typing them, this is a wonderful portable gift.
If you’re going to give a more practical gift such as a wallet, handbag, scarf or gloves, then make sure it’s something special and unique. Bally’s Geometric print wallet it’s so beautiful that you could wear it as a clutch. Givenchy charm Ayers Snakeskin Shoulder Bag in blue is an amazing addition to anyone’s wardrobe. This handbag can go with everything from jeans to formalwear. This bag has an elegant, modern, yet also retro feel, and can be used as a clutch as well. I am a big proponent of blue bags, as I wear jeans a lot and love to have another color option. Speaking of blue, the Rosantica Sasha Crystal Ball Cage Frame Clutch is a piece of art onto itself. When you’re not using it as a clutch, one could hang it on a wall, but don’t do that, please take it to the party with you. Memobottle has figured out a way to carry a water bottle inside your handbag, have it fit, and not ruin the shape of your handbag and or clutch. One of my close friends gave this to me and it was one of the best present I’ve ever received. It’s BPA free with a super sleek design and will ensure that you stay stylishly hydrated.
Jewelry – that magical item that will change an entire outfit and your mood. One of my favorite Jewelry stores is Outlette in New York City. Owners Ruth and Scott have carefully curated an actual sleek and welcoming glass jewelry box, filled with treasures you won’t find anywhere else. For example, Philippa Kunisch’s chandelier earrings are delicate jewels floating in design perfection. Be Maad‘s Jamini Black Hoop earrings are tiny little gems in orbit around a hoop. Both are available at Outlette. If a statement necklace is more their style, then Pippa small turquoise mountain Tofann *18 karat gold plated necklace is a stellar choice. There are several more jewelry pieces to tempt you below. Now, what to put all of this jewelry in? I have that answered for you! The Smythson Mara Printed Croc-Effect Leather Jewelry Box is a great addition to any surface.
Since “beauty is only skin deep” maybe one should gift a skincare product. The ReFa Caxa Ray is a device that’s sends micro-currents to the skin to lift and firm. Another beauty gift is the Nurse Jamie Beauty Bear™ Age Defy Pillow that prevents lines on the face from your bedding or wrinkles from your sleep position all ensuring they are a Sleeping Beauty!
