2014 Holiday Gift Guide: Holiday Plaid
11

It’s hard to believe but Thanksgiving is just weeks away! I know as soon as I step into my parents house the holiday plaid is going to be ev-ery-where. My grandfather’s old buffalo coat, hats and scarfs will be lining the entry way, the kitchen and coffee table will be topped with red plaid runners, even the holiday coffee mugs will be perfectly displayed on the open shelves. It’s safe to say my mom is slightly obsessed with the buffalo check/holiday plaid so today, mom, this gift guide is dedicated to you and every other buffalo check enthusiast! Xo. Lauren

THIS vest would be perfectly paired with a denim shirt + black jeans.

A check scarf for $25 dollars? Yes, please.

Mentally preparing myself for the winter months ahead.

Keep your feet warm with these festive socks or these cute slippers.

The most comfortable PJ’s to wake up to on Christmas morning + 25% off with ‘shopnow’ at check out!

Easy stocking stuffer: Plaid Flannel Shorts (also 25% off!)

Gift Guide: For The Hostess
15

I hate to call favorites but today’s gift guide might be mine.  If you’re looking for a fun, creative gift ideas for the ladies who host us all holiday season long, I’ve got you covered. From party coasters to champagne flutes, this gift guide definitely took me the longest in trying to find the perfect gifts I’d love to give my friends throughout these next two months. A few highlights:

C.Wonder’s home section is quite on point this month. Insert these shot glasses, coasters ($14 dollars), and appetizer plates.

Party on, party people.

A hostess gift I never thought of before is name place cards. These Kate Spade place cards would make any table pretty (right?) and would be much appreciated by any hostess.

#Pop.Fizz.Clink Champagne Bag. $28 Dollars. Obvi.

One hostess gift that I think is a little underrated are coffee table books. Maybe because its “my thing” but I love giving (and getting) various coffee table books. They are an affordable but thoughtful gift that is sure to please throughout the holiday season. Is your hostess into cooking, cocktail recipes, or fashion?

Give the gift of Jonathan Adler this holiday season. His monogrammed pillows aren’t going anywhere anytime soon (plus it’s on sale!)

His + Hers glasses super cute for the co-hosts in your life.

What about an easy throw blanket from Target for $29.99? Plus Target can gift wrap it for you – done & done.

Perhaps a tray for your hostess to serve cocktails on? Or maybe a little trinket dish for her jewelry?

Last but not least, send yourself home with these Kate Spade “Treat Yo Self” Goody Bags. You never know what left overs the hostess will send home with you, and look! You already provided the transportation. Mazel.

2014 Holiday Gift Guide: For Him
15

Hello and Happy Monday! It’s quite hard to believe but it’s my favorite time of year again… Gift Guide Season!!

I’m so excited to kick off my 2014 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE SERIES today which means for the next few weeks I will be highlighting what to give (and get) this holiday season!! From the hostess with the mostest to the tech guru, I’ve rounded up the best of the best when it comes to gifting for just about everyone on your list this holiday season.

Today I’m kicking off the series for all the men in our life: Dad, Boyfriend, Brother, Uncle, Grandpa, Friend. I’ve scoured the web (lit-er-ally) so you don’t have to for the best gifts to give men this holiday season.

And as a FYI, there are a few ways you can shop my favorite products this season. Let’s break it down, shall we?

// 1. Each Gift Guide will include a round up of a select few products I see fit. The “+” sign next to each product is the link that will direct you straight to where you can preview/shop and buy the product. I think it’s much easier then linking at the bottom of the post!

// 2. Because I can’t include every single product in my collages I have also included a scrolling product widget at the bottom of each gift guide. Here you can view more of my favorites that aren’t highlighted in the collage.

// 3. Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest! You can shop ALL of my favorite items directly on my Pinterest page! Each board has 50+ products and I will have a board that correlates to each one of my gift guides – hopefully making it much easier for you all to shop!

*Click on the black and white “+” sign on the collage above to preview and shop each product!

I can’t wait to share what I have in store this holiday season. If you have any questions or concerns on where/what to get for a certain someone, please shoot me a note at lauren@lauren-nelson.com for a personal recommendation!
