2016 Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers Under $25 Dollars
5

stocking-stuffers-gift-guide-holiday-mantel

If you’re just tuning in, I launched my annual gift guide series last week! Today we’re talking stocking stuffers under $25 dollars. Growing up my mom always had a huge stocking full of little goodies. For whatever reason, I always loved unwrapping little gifts. Stocking stuffers don’t need to be expensive – it’s always the thought that counts!

Who wouldn’t love a little Keihl’s under the tree?

I picked up this plaid holiday mug last year – still use it all of the time, especially during the holidays!

These gold-flecked votive candle holders are CHIC.

Coffee table books are a no brainer stocking stuffer. Take a peek at my book worm gift guides from 2013 and 2014 – many of these Amazon links still work!

Shop The Post

And as a FYI, there are a few ways you can shop my favorite products this season.

// 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! I will have a board that correlates to each one of my gift guides – hopefully making it much easier for you all to shop!

2016 Gift Guide: For The Boys

gift-guide-for-the-boys

We’re two days from Thanksgiving! I’m back home in Cleveland and am so excited to be home. Whether you’re flying or driving back home tonight or tomorrow morning, I’m rounding up gift guides for the next few days and today is all about the boys! From your dad to your brother to your boyfriend, I’ve categorized gift ideas by weekender bags, outerwear/blazers, shoes, books & accessories and so forth.

Some of my favorite gifts this year include:

Shoes! Such an easy purchase when you know their size. A few of my favorites include: Stan Smith Sneakers – great price point and can be worn throughout the summer and fall. If you’re looking to splurge, Gucci Loafers or Ferragamo’s will never disappoint. Cole Haan loafers  are only $150 dollars + perfect for work.

Patagonia is one of my favorite brands for men. From half zip sweaters to vests, Patagonia is great for men at every age!

Bose earphones are a no brainer.

A burberry scarf is a classic wardrobe staple.

All my guy friends keep talking about this Megaboom wireless bluetooth speaker ($299) and comes in various colors.

A new leather brown briefcase for work or weekender bag for travel.

I am slightly obsessed with this wallet from Tuckernuck and this American flag koozie.

Holiday Gifts Under $50 Dollars

Merry-Christmas

TGIF, party people! I am so tired today. This week has been a doozy – anyone else? I’m very much looking forward to this weekend. Tonight I’m headed to a charity event, Saturday will be a whole lot of nothing and Sunday I’m having a girls day at the Plaza Hotel with Lauren, Gabby and Krista – so excited!! I know I mentioned I was going to do hostess gifts as my next gift guide, but change of plans. I decided to round up holiday gifts under $50 dollars as I complete my gift guides for the hostess with the mostess!

How cute is this white cable knit sweater from Nordstrom? And it’s only $45 dollars. Yes, please!

Because everyone should have a gold Swell bottle..

I love the idea of getting monogrammed sticky notes for a co-worker or boss!

And because it’s football season, we can’t go wrong with a monogrammed koozie. Cuuuute.

Last but not least, this rose hibiscus water probably smells delightful.

Have you started your holiday shopping yet or are you waiting for Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals? I don’t blame you either way. I have done zero holiday shopping yet..

 

Have a great weekend ladies and gents! Xo. Lauren

Introducing My 2016 Gift Guide Series: 13 Monogrammed Gifts That Are Super Cute

Can you believe it’s already time for my annual gift guide series?! We’re a little over a month and a half away from Christmas and I’m so excited for the holidays this year. It’s one of my favorite (if not my favorite) time of year in the city. Window shopping on 5th avenue, visiting the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, and dinning at the Boathouse in Central Park are just a few of my favorite activities to do during the holidays here in New York. It’s pretty hard not to love the hustle and bustle in the city when it’s all lit up during the holiday season. If you haven’t made it here yet during the holidays, I would highly recommend!

Whether you’re shopping for your mom, dad, best friend, sister, brother, boyfriend or co-worker, I have so many great gift guides lined up this year. Today I’m kicking off the series with the best monogramed gift ideas! I’ve rounded up over 13 monogrammed gifts that I would love to give (and personally get) this holiday season. Mark and Graham is my favorite retailer when it comes to personalizing a gift. Pottery Barn and J.Crew also allow you to monogram some great items. You can also take a peek at my Monogrammed Gift Guide from 2015 right here! Many of the products are still shoppable! Xo. Lauren
