There’s nothing I love more than a good headband. Some of my girlfriends might say that I wear them too much but I love that when I don’t feel like styling my hair, I can easily throw on a headband and call it a day.
My favorite headband brand to-date is easily Lele Sadoughi – I know her price points are high but so worth the investment if you love headbands as much as me. They are the most comfortable headbands I’ve found to-date and trust me, I’ve tried a lot!! Lele’s tartan plaid / jeweled headband is officially my next headband purchase – how cute would this be for all of our holiday zooms?!
Outside of hair accessories, has anyone else been on the hunt for new face masks? Lele Sadoughi’s face masks are also comfortable and stylish but a few other styles I have on my radar include these tartan plaid face masks from J.Crew Factory,Old Navy and Etsy.

Let’s break it down, shall we?!
Best Gift Ideas For Her
One. One of the best gift ideas (in my opinion) is giving a great coffee table book! It’s thoughtful and personal because you can gift in a category whoever on your list may be most interested in. Insert, The Home Edit Book, for one of my besties who was just obsessed with the Netflix show as I was!! Case in point here. Also curated an updated list of coffee table books right here.
Two. This silk slip cover pillow case was one of the most popular gifts from last year’s gift guide so I included it again! Plus it’s a great gift idea under $100 dollars.
Three. An oldie but always a goodie gift idea is a diptyque candle or candle set. I’ve given this gift many times over the years and it’s always well received!
Four. For a more high-end, luxury gift idea for your mom, mother-in-law or aunt is anything from David Yurman. I know as soon as my mom reads this blog post she is going to call me saying she wants this chain link bracelet!!!
Six. For the home body or home decor enthusiast on your list, Serena and Lily sheets would be an amazing gift to receive!! Also, not sure if you’ve seen but Serena and Lily also recently created a “bedding bundle” collection which could also make for a great gift idea. Take a peek right here!
Seven. A great gift idea under $50 dollar I always love to include each year are these Kate Spade earrings.
Eight. Have you heard of the SouthernLinen Etsy Shop? This is one of my favorite shops on Etsy where you can find a wide variety of personal & monogrammed gift ideas. Be sure to shop early on any monogrammed gift ideas this year as shipping times may be lagged & increased due to the personalization! P.s. if you love a good monogram, take a peek at this blog post I did two years ago on where to buy monogrammed pillows! I still refer back to it to this day.
Nine. Cosmetic cases are something that I tend to run in to the ground and don’t replace often which is why I love giving them as a gift idea! I also loved these block print cosmetic cases from Amanda Lindroth.
Ten. White + Warren — A must buy!!! Whether for yourself or a loved one on your list this holiday season. White + Warren scarves are seriously THE best and 100% worth the price.
Eleven. For another gift idea under $50 dollars, L.L. Bean’s monogrammed totes are another great gift idea that you can easily personalize.
Twelve. Le Labo fragrance — santal 33 and another 13 are two popular scents where you can’t go wrong giving as a gift to just about anyone on your list.
Thirteen. Last but not least, for something a bit more practical take a peek at this light blue rain coat from Nordstrom. So pretty and it’s currently on major sale!!
So I’ve been loooooving all of the chatter on Instagram around grandmillennial style!! If you’re not sure what the term grandmillennial means, take a peek at House Beautiful’s article “The Rise of Grandmillennial Style.” I also loved reading One King’s Lane blog post on the trend — which I completely agree with Clary Bosbyshell and don’t think it’s a trend at all! If you like to decorate with rattan, blue and white, scalloped accents or topiaries, you might just be a granmillennial yourself!
Today I’ve put together some of my favorite pieces from the One Kings Lane feature that would be sure to please any grandmillennial on your list!
I know I’ve blogged about Juliska 100x before but you really can’t go wrong with starting your own collection or gifting Juliska’s Country Estate pieces. I also fell in love with this blue and white compote, this pillow completed with blue and white tassels, and these linen guest towels.
If you’re not sure whether or not you’re a grandmillennial, House Beautiful included their very own quiz at the bottom of this article to help you figure it out! 🙂 #grannychicforever
P.s. If you’re just tuning in, be sure to check out all of my previous gift guides from 2019! I also linked from previous years as well since many of the products are still relevant.
We’re moving right along through our 2019 gift guide series!! Today’s gift guide is dedicated to the holiday hostess. Whether you need a small gift for a good friend or an acquaintance this holiday season, below are some of the best holiday hostess gift ideas you could easily wrap in cellophane, tie a bow around & voi-la! You will have a great hostess gift wrapped and ready to-go in no time. A few of my personal favorites for the hostess include:
This white marble wine holder — I swear I use this every time we have friends over or I’ll style it with a candle.
And I learned this from my mom — buy holiday hand soaps/lotion in bulk before the holiday season so you always have a little something to bring if you’re in a pinch.
