Freshly Squeezed Holiday Gift Guide!

It's that time of the year again! A time for family, ugly Christmas sweaters, and questionable relatives from near and far. But really, one of the best things about the holidays is the shopping (second to getting to spend time with the family, of course) and getting to buy for the people you love. From the fashionable trendsetter to the family sommelier, I round up some of the best (and pocket-friendly) holiday gifts for everyone to enjoy! Get inspired, squeezers!


How beautiful is this Nate Berkus for Target Metal Winged Bowl? It's such a great statement piece for any coffee table or bookshelf. This is the perfect home decor gift for that interior design buff in your inner circle. And you can't beat a price tag of $24.99. 



Here kitty kitty! I am quite obsessed with this Betsey Johnson Kitchi kitty clutch. Add an element of fun with this quirky handbag, which is sure to be a great conversation starter. The bag comes in pink and black. Wear it as an envelope clutch or as a shoulder bag. The gold nose clasp is a sweet little touch! 




Keep warm in some holiday classics courtesy of Old Navy. Plaid is so quintessentially 'holiday' and a scarf is a cool way to stay warm. Scarves make great gifts for anyone in the family so load up and give them out to those you love! Dashing men, there's something for you too! This holiday themed cardigan is cozy and chic and easy to pair with any outfit!




These one of a kind animal candles from West Elm make the chicest holiday gifts! Perfect for any room in the house, and when you're finished enjoying the candle, these festive creatures double as home accents. They range from $18-$25. 




I love unique jewelry with a positive message! These hand-stamped necklaces with familiar affirmations from jewelry designer, Cecila Gonzales, make a thoughtful and inspirational gift for friends and family to wear. Make a statement that inspires! 'Enjoy the ride' is my personal favorite! 



Add some sparkle to any outfit with this $18 jeweled headband from Avon. Headbands are a great accessory to add some jazz and bling for the holidays. This leaf-motif stunner will dazzle any fashionista! 



I look forward to October every year when MAC Cosmetics releases its new holiday collection just in time for seasonal shopping! And this year, they didn't disappoint. Holiday-themed lipsticks and glosses, natural and smokey eye palettes, and sleek , shimmery packaging are in abundance this season. With three different collections (Keepsakes, Heirloom, and Objects of Affection), there's something for every makeup aficionado.

Available at any MAC Cosmetics counter. 

It's the gift that pays it forward. This '100 Good Deeds Bracelet' is part of a handcrafted collection symbolizing a commitment to perform good deeds and bring about positive change. At $30, the bracelets are made by women in Africa and helps them earn a dignified livelihood. Celebrity fans include Katie Holmes, Susan Sarandon, and Alicia Keys. 




For the fashion forward men in your life, I present a twist on the classic. The boys behind TV Head and Co. created these eclectic wooden bow ties that are sure to be a conversation starter. Dress them up or down, this unique gift will make a great addition under the Christmas tree! 



The gift of relaxation never goes out of style! And now with Zeel, you can book same day massages in your home with the click of an app! What's more convenient and affordable than a massage in the comfort of your own home when you want it? Santa, I'll take one of these please! And from now until Thursday of next week, you can find them on Gilt City. 



Well, we know he can sing, but did you know that Dave Matthews is also a winemaker? His line of wines, The Dreaming Tree, offers everything from a medium bodied cabernet to a fruity and dry Chardonnay. At $15 a bottle, these babies will score you "most liked" at any holiday party. 



And you need wine glasses to go with that wine! How about these fun lip-stained stemless ones from Marshalls. Marshalls is holiday heaven when it comes to finding gifts for everyone in the family. From home decor to novelty gifts, this is one stop shopping that has something for every stocking. 


The Buddha Board makes for a genius gift for kids of all ages. Whether you have a toddler or a tween, this water-based paint set, provides an outlet for imagination and hours of endless entertainment. All you need is water! My two and half year old is a big fan!




How cuddly and cozy are these 'Guess How Much I Love You' stuffed rabbit baby accessories? This lovable bunny straight from the children's book, is such a plush and adorable holiday gift for any infant! Watch them coo with delight when they see this familiar face! 

Available on www.amazon.com




A little humor this holiday season? Yes, please! A home run gift for the budding comedian/comedienne and/or avid reader in your family. Or maybe they're just a huge Parks and Rec fan like me. I predict many LOL moments when you read through Amy Poehler's latest tome. 



Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping! 

In Style, 

Kat
