Holiday Gift Ideas

Holiday Gift Ideas for those who want to be “FASHONABLE!”

This is my favorite time of year with the anticipation of holiday cheer everywhere, Christmas decorations to enjoy, and of course, the “hunt” for the perfect gift for everyone on my list.

It truly does take time to find something unique and special for everyone on your list. I have a little tradition that works for me.
 

I start by getting myself in the holiday mood by visiting my favorite restaurant for dinner which is The Capital Grille. There is just something magical about this restaurant. The food is amazing, the service is five-star and the managing partner, Armin Ahrabin makes you feel as if you are the only table in the entire restaurant. After a glass of wine, I bring out my shopping list and write little notes on each person. The joy of giving someone a gift is the sparkle in their eyes when they open it! Yes, there are some on my list that will receive a gift card because they are just impossible to buy for, but most will receive a gift that will make them even more fashionable and beautiful. After I complete the list, I enjoy my fabulous dinner and the rest is easy, I order online. Most Web sites offer free shipping and after I give myself ideas of what gifts I am looking for, the rest is easy. My gifts arrive early and I have more time to enjoy the holiday season without stress.

Holiday Help is here for everyone on your list:

Editor’s Top Pick: Grace Digital Wi-Fi Internet Radio

I have been obsessed with Pandora Radio for many reasons. First, because it is free, and also because I can listen to so many different types of music depending on my mood. When I discovered the first ever Wi-Fi Internet Radio, I knew it would be the perfect gift. Music gets you in the mood for whatever need you have at that moment. You cannot look fashionable if you do not feel fashionable. This truly is the best find of the season for me. It will be the perfect gift, I promise. Easy to use and easy on the budget at $169.99. www.gracedigitalaudio.com

White Sands Curling Iron

Looking beautiful has never been easier. You may want to pick one of these up for yourself as well as give one as a gift. These innovative must-have curling irons fuse the Marcel and Spring Load curing iron methods into ONE tool. You can utilize the professionalism of a Marcel curling iron to create beautiful waves that look superstar fabulous! I love this tool because it is dummy proof. One of my favorite products ever, and a steal at $110. www.whitesandsproducts.com

Gravity Control System by Clientele

Once only available to celebrities known for their looks and youthfulness, this “beauty tool” is now available to women and men who are on-the-go, smart, busy and “in the know.” A combination of NASA’s LED technology and space-age cosmetic peptides help skin to defy gravity. I have raved about this product on several TV stations because it really works. You can look four years younger in just 14 days. $189—www.clientelebeauty.com

Vera Wang Lovestruck Fragrance

We are all in love with the feeling of love. That is why we love romantic movies, fairytale books and Prince Charming. While I cannot recommend Prince Charming as a gift, I can recommend a fragrance that may help you find your Prince Charming. Vera Wang Lovestruck is an addictive floral fragrance that you are sure to fall in love with. With top notes of guava and mandarin, a heart of tuberose and lotus blossom, and a dry down of woods and sheer musk, Lovestruck is a sparkling, rich, floral fragrance.
Available at all major department stores - $68

This amazing invention has been featured on Oprah, The View and GMA with good reason—it is innovative and a must-have for all women! Bootights are a premium tight with a performance sock attached so your legs look amazing and your feet feel great all day long. Available in a variety of colors and textures. Perfect as stocking stuffers, best friend gifts or maybe for yourself so you can enjoy the holidays in warmth and style.

OPI Crown Me Already Nail Polish

The name says it all! This is the perfect gift for all of your “Diva Friends.” You will be a hit and your friend will look and feel nail fabulous with her new signature color. From the Miss Universe Collection, this glittery and glam polish will sparkle this holiday season. $8—available at all major department stores and drugstores.

Instead of spending all of your holiday time in the mall looking for presents, you can shop for yourself or maybe even enjoy dinner at The Capital Grille relaxing over a glass of wine. I have taken the leg work out of searching for those hard-to-please people on your list and given you the best gift ideas for this holiday season.

Wishing you and your family a joyous and happy holiday season.
