Can you believe the holiday season is already upon us? It feels like this year has gone by at lightning speed! If you’re anything like me, you dread the process of picking out gifts for everyone on your holiday list. It’s not that I don’t love finding the perfect gift for someone (it’s actually a huge rush!) but trying to pick out at least thirty gifts in a single month can be torturous. So I’ve started my gift shopping early and found some great little gifts to share with you to help make the process painless!
My 2014 Holiday Gift Guide
Gifts for Everyone:
1. Wine Accessories. How about a festive wrapping for any wine or champagne bottle? Or a bathtub wine holder? Pair these with a nice bottle of vino and you’re all set!
2. A Portable Charger. The gift that everyone can use — we all know the pain of being without power when we need it most:
3. A unique thermos. There’s no denying that we live in a time of caffeine addiction — a gift of a thermos to keep warm drinks hot and cold drinks chilled is always welcome and incredibly useful!
Gifts for Him:
1. Winter Slippers. This is the sort of gift he would never buy for himself but will eternally thank you for. Look for a cozy slipper that looks more like a shoe if your man thinks slippers are for girls.
2. A Great Notebook. Yes, we live in a digital age but there’s something about writing ideas down on paper that can’t be beat. Give him a great notebook to jot his brilliant moments down in.
3. Classic Accessories. Instead of another t-shirt with a slogan or hilarious book about drinking beer, give him something timeless that he will always use.
Gifts for Her:
1. A Great Cologne & Body Care Gift Set. Jo Malone has some of the most unique and beautiful scents on the market these days, so why not gift this sample “christmas cracker” that’s bound to please (pictured below left). OR this larger collection which includes one of my favorites — the Orange Blossom Body Lotion (pictured below right):
2. A Travel Tote. Now, more than ever, we are a society of travelers. For your girlfriend who is always jet-setting, give her a durable travel tote to make her life easier.
3. Friendship bracelets are SO last season! Show her what #Besties you are with these modern equivalents:
4. A Charismatic Business Card Holder. It’s the sort of thing most people don’t think to buy for themselves but can really make a fun and unique impression when handing out a business card. Help push her career ahead with one of these:

For the Girl Who has Everything:
1. Any fashionista knows and dreads the dry cleaners. Most high-quality clothing require “dry clean only” and the bills can really stack up if you have a wardrobe full of investment pieces. This $500 device allows you to dry-clean your clothing at home for a fraction of the cost. SWASH™ Express Clothing Care System Similar options here
2. Cleansing waters are having a serious moment right now. And what’s not to love? They are gentle on skin and remove all traces of make-up without drying out your complexion, no water rinsing required. One minute of wiping and your face is clean!
3. Upgrade her Instagram experience! Who doesn’t love to curate their Instagram account and to share their photos with the world? Give her some accessories to make the experience even more fun.
