holiday gift guide // for the lady

It's here! It's here! The first of my holiday gift guides! I started my research for these early - combing through catalogs, window shopping, and going to the end of the internet in search of the perfect gifts. I like to incorporate a few unexpected items - something you may not have seen before or thought of yet. This year I took over 250 items I had saved for these and narrowed down the list very carefully to include the best of the best. It's a labor of love, but I do it for you. 

But enough talk. Let's get to it.  As they say, ladies first...


1. Hand Woven Throw - Not just any old blanket - this one is hand-loomed in Peru and has the most beautiful pattern. Adds the perfect something extra to the sofa, chair, or bed. And soft too! $135

2. Crossover Ring  - What do I need to say? It's gold, it's sparkly, it's a cute X pattern. Wear it every day or when you need an extra touch of bling. Oh, and btw it's only $40!

3. Play By Ear Earring Set  - Why give one pair of earrings, when you can give nine that create over 100 looks?! Some classic, some edgy - I'm seriously obsessed with this gift set (hint, hint, mom!) $100 

4. Pom Pom Hat - I'm a sucker for a pom pom. Waffled wool with a cute faux fur top, it is the cutest way to keep warm. I think I'd wear it when it wasn't even cold out it's that fun! $80

5. Suede Bow Ballet Flat - The ideal shoe for the holidays. From jeans to leather leggings to dresses with tights, it's an easy go-to and that bow just makes me happy. $125

6. Lip Stain - The latest addition in my lip-color collection. A stain that won't dry out your lips, but will definitely last all night. I'm loving the "Hollywood" deep red color for the season. $33

7. Makeup Brush Kit - There are a ton of brush sets out there right now, but it's important to not be distracted by fun colors or a cute bag - they need to work. And leave it to Bobi Brown for that. Her brushes last forever and this kit is small enough to throw in your bag for touch ups and contains a brush for all your needs. A must-have! $75

8. Customized Planner/Journal - The most customizable notebook/planner/journal ever. Pick from hundreds of cover patterns and monogram options and then pick your inside pages - from monthly calendars, to meal planners, to coloring books, to blank lines - the options are endless! $22

9. Agate Bookends - Get these for the woman seems to have everything. Beautiful stone cut with two flat sides to make the perfect bookends. A truly unique item to have on a bookshelf. Definitely something I would love, but would never buy for myself. $195 (similar and way cheaper version here)

10. Clarisonic System - This will forever be on my gift guides because I feel so strongly that every human needs a Clarisonic. Mine broke a few weeks ago and I noticed the change (for the worse) with my skin almost instantly without it. Already a fan? Buy one for a friend. This set is a great starter kit. $149

11. Plaid Scarf - Ahh the plaid blanket scarf. They're everywhere this season. They add just the right accessory for whatever you may be wearing. And such an easy gift - one can never have too many scarves. $29

••••••••••

So, anything catch your eye? Snatch up a few things now - it'll make you worry less as December 25th approaches. And check back soon for more gift guides - so many more great gift ideas coming your way soon!

holiday gift guide // for the stocking

It's time for the last of my holiday gift guides. And this is my favorite one - for the stocking! For some reason, opening my stocking is one of my favorite parts of Christmas morning. From the random orange (but really - why do we always get a citrus fruit?) to the random little things to the mini makeup stuff, it's just so much fun!

Here are 10 great ideas to nab now and throw in your stockings. There's something for everyone on here.  Take a look...


1. OpenTable Gift Card - I LOVE that OpenTable is now offering gift cards. Pick a restaurant, or let the recipient pick for themselves. A great way to give the gift of a meal out.

2. Sugar Lip Gift Set - A tub of lip scrub (a must for chapped lips), and their best selling lip balm with spf. I swear by these products and I think the little ornament packaging is darling. $28

3. Grilled Cheese Toast Bags - After I saw these at my girls gift exchange party, I knew I had to include them on here. I think they are so cool! You can make a grilled cheese...in your toaster. Genius! $7

4. Shoe ID Tag - A serious must-have for any runner. This puts your personal and emergency contact information on a little band that you strap to your shoelaces so that, should anything ever happen to you while exercising outdoors (likely without your wallet/phone), you can be helped. My sister fainted once on a run and the people who helped her had no idea who to call or what to do. She now has a Shoe ID. $20

5. Wood Bottle Opener - Handmade wood bottle opener that isn't just cool, it's functional. Monogram it for a personal touch. $24

6. Bathtub Wine Glass Holder - Solving the first world problem of where to put your wine glass while you're taking a soak in the tub! It's a really silly gift, but according to the reviews it is pretty functional. $14

7. Kate Spade Roller Ball Perfume - I asked my sister for ideas for my gift guides and this was her number one recommendation. I bought a tube myself and she's right - the scent is perfect parts floral and spice. Love roller balls for keeping in my purse for a touch up during the day. $24

8. Lip Wipes - I bought a pack of these from the little bins by the check out at Sephora and am hooked! They remove any long-wearing lip stains, but best yet, they also remove wine stains from your lips (you know what I'm talking about!). Love 'em. $12

9. Candy Coal - A fun little play on "you'll get coal from Santa this year if you're not a good girl!". Except this coal taste like cinnamon. $2

10. Soaking Salts - Soak in these stress-reducing aromatherapy bath salts while using your bathtub wine glass holder (#6). Ha! But really, this is my favorite bath time accompaniment. It smells divine and makes your skin soft. The little 6oz tub is the perfect size for a stocking. $20

••••••••••

One week until Christmas Eve!  Better get shopping!

holiday gift guide // for the hostess

If your holiday plans are anything like mine, you're headed to quite a few open houses, holiday gatherings, and dinner parties. And it seems like I'm always panicking right before we head somewhere for that perfect hostess gift. Here are 10 ideas to snatch up now so you're prepared for all your social occasions this year. 

Note that these aren't just for the hostess though, they're great options for your boss, colleagues, Secret Santa,  teacher, babysitter, mother-in-law, neighbor...need I go on?  Let's get to the gifts!




1. Sunday Suppers Cookbook - A book with recipes geared towards cooking with friends and it has seriously the most beautiful photos. I keep this out on my coffee table because it's such a gorgeous book. $33

2. Salt Cellar - A beautiful olive wood salt cellar that any cook would love to have sitting on the counter. $40

3. Brie Baker - An appetizer and a gift all in one. A beautiful ceramic dish with buttery brie and fig jam. And you know it has to be good if it's from the renowned cheese shop, Murray's. $35

4. Magnetic Succulent Plant - The cutest little plant in a magnetic container. Stick it to a file cabinet, a fridge, anything. I think these would make a great gift for coworkers too! $20

5. Francis Ford Coppola Wine & Pasta Set - for The Godfather, wine, or pasta aficionado. I love when I don't have to compile gift baskets myself - this one is all set with pasta, sauce, wine, and a dishtowel $99 (sold out - similar wine/food set here) 

6. Embroidered Cocktail Napkins - I can't even stand how darling these are. The cutest touch to your host's bar. And fun for each guest to pick their own napkin (I'd go with 'shaken not stirred'). $34

7. Chocolate Covered Apples - I'm a big fan as food for a gift. While I usually like to bake my own goodies, there comes a moment in the holiday season when you run out of time. That's when you snag these delicious chocolate covered apples. $58

8. Cedar & Eucalyptus Wreath - This wreath isn't just beautiful, it smells divine. I love that it's not overly Christmas-y which means you can leave it up past December 25th. $65

9. Aspen Canvas Wine Tote - Bring some wine, give a tote. I love the wintery pattern and cheerful colors. Great for parties, tailgates, picnics - anything where wine enhances the experience. ;) $16

10. VelvetCrate Holiday Gift Box - Fail to bring a hostess gift? Not sure what to get the gal who seems to have everything? This is the perfect answer. From a hostess gift to a thank you gift it couldn't be easier - pick a box filled with unique and luxurious gifts, select a ship date, and you're done! $50

••••••••••

Now hurry and grab these gifts before your holiday parties! Happy gifting!

holiday gift guide: for the lady

Very happy today to share with you the first of my five holiday gift guides.

As they say, ladies first.  
Here are some gifts that any classy gal would love to receive on Christmas morning.The Rose Record Gift Guide - for the lady
It's tradition in my family to open jammies on Christmas Eve.  
These pink gingham ones are so cute I just want to wear them all the time...even out of the house.

Looks one-of-a-kind.
But without the one-of-a-kind price.
One of those unique pieces that no one else will have.

Get the whole Clarisonic starter package in a cute gift set.
Because what lady doesn't want clear pores?

The perfect size for all those cards.
And best part, an iPhone can easily be zipped inside for when you want to run a quick errand with out your handbag.
Oh, and it comes in cute colors so you can always find it buried in your purse.

For your vanity or your desk.
No matter what function, everything will look chic stacked atop this beauty.
Be sure to check out her other fun patterns, colors, and sizes.

The exact one I use for my tresses.
I have it in 1 1/2" for big curls and 1" for tighter waves.
Lasts forever, adjustable heat temperatures, and it's pink!

Because I know you're as obsessed with her as I am.
Full of great tips, beautiful photos, and will look great on your coffee table or night stand.
I can't think of any girl that wouldn't want this.

It's just the loveliest scent.
Goes with any season and any occasion.
Plus, the bottle is pretty darn cute (and would look great resting on that tray from #5).

Just the most adorable size for your necessities.
Love that it's not too big for when I want to wear it with a sundress or shorts come summertime.
And just look at all those pretty colors (although I am partial to that classic cognac color).

10 - Birch Box
Perhaps my most favorite gift I received last Christmas.
A box of different beauty samples sent to you every month.
Makes getting the mail so much more fun.
And every product I've tried, I've loved (and you can buy full sizes at a discount on their site).

*****
So what do you think?
Adding anything to your wishlist?
Snatching anything up for someone on your list?

Don't forget to check back for the remaining four gift guides to come throughout the month.

Happy gifting!

gift guide: for the hostess

I know, I know, I'm behind on the whole gifting topic this year.  But, I'm a firm believer that we don't start thinking Christmas until Thanksgiving has passed.  So we have a week less this year to buy gifts - s'ok.  We have the internet.  And brains.  And maybe this year, we should make everything about Christmas less complicated.  Give one cute, thoughtful gift with a personal touch and call it good.  Here are my favorite ideas for hostess gifts (although, these would also be great for mom/mother-in-law, sister, aunt, teacher, boss, friend, nanny, etc.)  Bonus:  each of these is under $50.

gift guide for the hostess

Frasier Fir Candle :::  You guys know I love something when I put it to rhyme. This scent will always be on my holiday gift guides because it is the best.  They have a variety of sizes and prices for anyone on your list.  $28.00

Holiday Cocktail Napkins ::: From this adorable etsy shop made by this adorable lady. I love that they're not overtly Christmas-y so you can use them all winter long. I wish I would have had these at Friendgiving!  $13.50

Letterpress Recipe Box & Card::: Another etsy find.  I'm a firm believer that your favorite go-to recipes should still be written on cards, especially letterpress cards. This set is functional and would look darling on a counter top.  $17.00

Linen Embossed Notebook ::: Lately I've been carrying my meal planning notebook around with me and have started using it more like a journal/planner. Everyone needs a cute and blank notebook for planning, organizing, or brainstorming. This one is made in Denmark and is so beautifully simple.  $28.00

Monogrammed Leather Wine Tote ::: Add a little personalized touch when you gift a bottle of wine.  The tote is great for picnics, and I think it'd look pretty darn cute propped up on a bar cart as well.  $39.00

Crackled Coasters ::: These are like little gem stones you can put on your coffee table.  And they'd go with any decor - every space needs a pop of color.  I just keep looking at them, they're so pretty.  $24.00

You Wash, I'll Dry Dish Towels :::  How adorable are these?  Would be so cute for a newlywed couple.  And one can never have enough dish towels, am I right?  Roll these up and tie with a cute ribbon and your gifting and wrapping job is done. $35.00

Monogrammed Silverware Caddy ::: A must-have for gatherings of all sizes. Perfect for buffets, barbecues or even for other items than silverware (I use one for my make up!).  Nothing makes plastic silverware look cute besides a painted, monogrammed silverware caddy.  $42.00

Homemade Cookies ::: Save your money, and instead give the gift of sweets.  A celophane bag, cute ribbon, and your favorite baked good goes a long way.  I love giving these cookies because they are easy to make and have only five ingredients. $FREE (or the cost of ingredients - less than $10).

Monogrammed Letter Plate ::: I'm a sucker for anything with my initial on it (can't you tell).  These are great on an entry way console for keys, on a bed side table, on a bar, on an end table - the possibilities are endless.  And I love the fun colors and patterns.  $38.00

Happy gifting!  And I hope I'm not the only one who has just started my holiday shopping.

holiday gift guide // for the guy

Is it me or are guys the hardest to shop for? At least in the case of Al, he never seems to really want anything. He's usually more for me not spending any much money than identifying anything he wants. Thankfully, I was able to sit him down over the weekend and get his opinion on the many gift ideas I had saved. He approved (and even added some to his Christmas list) all nine of the ideas below. 

Katie selected, Al approved.  Here are some great ideas for the guy in your life this holiday season...


1. Scarf & Glove Gift Set - From the luxurious and super dependable Barbour brand, this is a set for any guy who encounters the cold. Lambswool + cute plaid. Love!  $99

2. Needlepoint American Flag Cufflinks - For the patriotic preppy. But really, how cute are these?  They're needlepoint!  $55 (navy sold out on Tuckernuck - find same set here) 

3. Whiskey Rocks - Helping to solve the first world problem of keeping one's bourbon cold without diluting it.  $25

4. Mini Jam Box - Take it to the park, the deck, the tailgate or anywhere else where you feel Phil Collins will greatly enhance your activity. (Disclaimer: jambox does not only play Phil Collins...except in our house...) $130

5. White Dress Shirt - I get Al a new white dress shirt every year to add to his rotation. White shirts, especially, seem to get very dingy and gross. Love this brand's fit and non-iron material. It might be a boring gift, but it is certainly needed. $130

6. Negroni Cocktail Collection - I had about 100 other booze-related gift ideas for the guy (apparently I think guys only like to sip cocktails), but this one was the stand out and not just because it's my favorite cocktail. For a simple cocktail like the negroni, you need the highest quality ingredients and this set has 'em. $110

7. Clarisonic Gift Set - You know how I feel about the Clairsonic for my own skin, but recently I've got Al to use mine a few times and he is amazed. It makes for a closer shave and the softest skin. It's high time dudes considered their pores too. $149

8. ESPN's 30 for 30 Anniversary Set - For the first time only you can own all five seasons of ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series. A great collector piece for the serious sports fan (note: Al was MOST excited about this gift idea). $150

9. Tumi Backpack - Al's a fan of the backpack rather than a briefcase since he's walking and on the subway. It's great when we travel too so he can have a free arm for other bags. This is a seriously nice backpack with a special cushion pouch for a computer/ipad. (Psst you can also add a monogram!) $295 (found it cheaper here but no monogram option) 

••••••••••

Hope you found some great ideas from these!  Of course you could always go with my other go-to:  that J.Crew gingham shirt... ;)  

Happy gifting!

gift guide: for the guy

One week till Christmas!  It always seems that the guys on my Christmas list are the hardest.  But this year, I think I've found some great options.  This guide has something for every type of dude - from sporty to corporate to foodie to hipster, you can't miss with these twelve ideas...

for the guy

Acrylic Block Picture Frames - Every man should have a picture of his lady on his desk. It's old school and sweet.  I love these picture frames because they're no fuss - just two acrylic blocks that snap together with magnets.  $16 - $20

Warby Parker Chamberlain Glasses - Glasses are the perfect cool-guy accessory (I love when Al wears his!).  Warby Parker frames have been on my radar for years - the shapes an colors are timeless and hip.  Unsure what frames to get for your guy?  They also has adorable gift cards* this year that can be sent in the mail with a fun 'make a snowman' kit.  That way your guy will still have a physical gift to open, and he'll have TONS of variety in glasses and sunglass frames from which to choose.  *E-gift cards are also available for you last minute people (not judging). $95 (includes anti-reflective prescription lenses)

Leather Phone Case + Wallet - Part money clip, part iphone case.  Now he has only one thing he needs to shove in the pocket of his skinny cords.  $40

Growler - Looks snazzy on a bar and the perfect vessel for him to transport his favorite seasonal ale.  Reminds me of this spot in my hometown where you could get growlers to go. Bonus points for the amazing Jay-Z reference.  $15

Baseball Cap - Not just for KC fans, this hat is from the cooler-than-cool Baldwin denim company.  Classic colors and lines and so cute that you might have to take a play from Olivia Wilde and borrow it from him occasionally.  $42

Bacon Gift Set - for those who believe bacon is it's own food group.  This gift set comes with a variety of bacon-flavored goodies that will have him in awe.  {drat, this is sold out!  It wasn't a few days ago when I wrote this post.  Sorry! But get a gift card, because it looks SO GOOD}

Oyster of the Month Club - For the ultimate food lover.  Fresh oysters delivered to his door each month.  Comes with a oyster knife and shucking glove too!  To me, this is the gift for the man who has everything.  So luxurious and unique! $100/month

Wool Knit Hat - This is the perfect winter hat. Enough slouch + enough warmth.  Love the chunky knit in two colors that go with everything.  $42

Backgammon Set - Bring back an old classic with this luxe printed backgammon set.  Easy to pack up in the car for road trips or a cozy night at home.  Additionally, it would look lovely set out in a den or beach house.  I know my dad would love this since he loves games that don't involve an iphone. ;)    $195 (25% off with code CHEER25)

Whiskey Book - A history lesson in whiskey along with directions for making his own. From the founders of New York City's Kings County Distillery.  Great in a library, even better at the bar.  $15.78

Pour Over Coffee Kit - For the true coffee fans.  From Brooklyn's Sumptown Cofee, this kit has everything he needs to begin and learn the pour over coffee technique.  He can be a little chemist in the kitchen and you get the benefit of tasting the final product.  $120

Puffer Vest - If your guy is anything like mine, he's over-heated even in the coldest of temps.  This warm, insulated vest is the perfect solution.  Core stays warm, but he's not covered up entirely.  Love the coffee brown color - would go so well over all those plaid shirts he has. ;)  $160

Now, quick!  Go snag these before they're gone.
Happy shopping!

holiday gift guide: for the gent

Since it's Friday and Al's favorite day of the week, 
I thought no better time to post the second of my holiday gift guides.

Any man would love to find these under the tree. 
Trust me, I asked Al about all of them. 

So here you go, Katie researched, Al approved.
Gift ideas for the guy(s) in your life.
As I mentioned before, PJs are all that we open on Christmas Even in our family.
And these are cotton, rather than flannel, so the gent stays cool.

A step up from that fraternity key chain opener he used to still carries.
Looks swanky on the bar and an unexpected gift.

For the man who likes to play DJ at parties (hello Al with the Phil Collins).
Any device with Bluetooth technology can be amplified with this sleek speaker.
And also has room for several devices to charge while playing.

Al's jumped on the I-have-crazy-socks-on-with-this-boring-suit bandwagon and I love it.
This five pack ensures a colorful pair for each day of the week.

You mean your guy doesn't want a french bulldog tie?!
Frenchies or not, Vineyard Vines makes cute ties that look professional from a distance and playful up close (just how he is too, right?).

Give him a taste of New York with this NY-distilled bourbon.
Looks great on the bar, and tastes pretty good in a glass (see #7).

Let him feel all Don Draper with this set of swanky glasses.
This set is from the 1960's, but you can find a more reasonably-priced set here.

Beauty products made for a man.
The handmade beaver-hair brush will exfoliate, while the lotions and creams mosturize.
Best part, a way closer shave than that bottle of Gillette he's currently using.

Time to say goodbye to that fraternity hoody.
From the couch to brunch to a casual night out, he'll look uber cool in this pullover.
(More reasonably priced version here...but it ain't real vintage.)

Beacuse you have Nate Berkus and Lauren Conrad on the coffee table, 
let him have some space too with this book of quotes from every guy's favorite flick.
If you're lucky (?), maybe he'll recite each line just like they do in the movie.

*****
So what do you think?
Find something for your dude?

Happy gifting!

xoxo,
K
