Father's day is fast approaching. Luckily, I've already got a good gift. Along with a signed baseball my Mickey "The Quick" Rivers who I met at a Yankee game, had no idea who he was, had him sign a ball - and luckily, my Dad loves him. Point for me! But for any other baseball fanatic fans - these pens are pretty cool. They're made from the actual stadiums.
My favorite hostess gift to give is obviously a bottle of vino - but something cute wrapped around the neck of the bottle is always a good idea. For example, these clever measuring spoons that your host or hostess can use in the kitchen.
Yay for gifts. So by now everyone who reads this blog knows that I have a slight obsession with pretending to be French and/or trying to live my life like a Frenchy. So it makes sense that I got this ADORABLE necklace from Porkchop from Valentine's day.
This ring is also cute, french, and gold - three must have's in my jewelry box.
Great gift idea for someone that's just moved to NYC - Fish's Eddy's new borough plates. Very grid-like, just like our city.
I bought this lovely necklace for my best friend this past Christmas - but really, it's a pretty kitschy gift to give to a friend any time of the year. We used to have ying yang best friend necklaces circa the fourth grade but that is just way too early 90's to relive.
Here are some last minute gift ideas for everyone on your list - all from one store!
A sweet designer top at a major discount for your best friend
Pretty velvet box for Mom
Cufflinks for Dad
And a toy for your pooch
Guys are often at a loss for what to get their girlfriends. Wanna go right for the heartstrings? Scoop up this necklace for your lady friend. She'll be putty in your hands. Guaranteed!
I just got this email from loyal reader Cait who needs some present help in a pinch. Here's her request:
i know this is super late...but i need your mad gift-finding skillz. i got my mom a bracelet watch from chico's a few years ago and it got all stretched out and she can't wear it anymore, so i'm trying to find her a new one. any good leads?
This is a very specific request but luckily for Cait, I like specific! Here are some watch bracelet ideas:
A cuff or bracelet watch over at spiegel. Only $39.
Some snazzy croc printed bangles
A multistrand bracelet watch from J. Jill - who actually have a variety of bracelet watches so def check them out.
A fancy stretch enamel charm bracelet watch. This is just wildly cool.
A turquoise and shell stretch watch - great if she's into the beach and such.
And definitely peruse etsy for a watch bracelet where you'll find unique watches like this one here.
I think a classy set of bookends is a great gift for avid readers such as myself. I own these in red - so they come highly recommended. (And they're on sale now. Bonus!)
Ugh. What is with my obsession with agendas? I'm not even crazy organized. This Kate Spade agenda is killin' it. Pink and delicious.
