I think as 2020 wraps up, we all need a holiday and to spread a little joy and kindness. One of my favorite things to do when this time of year rolls around is sit down with a nice cappuccino and put together my holiday gift guide. This year, there’ll be a lot less travel and a little more vino and carbs flowing! I will miss hustling about town the day before Christmas, but thank goodness for online gift guides and Amazon elves. So grab your list, check it twice—and let’s get shopping and giving!
Looking forward to this season of slipping into laid-back luxury?
Truly understated elegance and for the person who has everything. Style Unions above Jill Candle can be used to hold everything from guacamole, flowers, berries, and your jewelry! Founder Kym Gold has created the most gorgeous fragrances that leave you floating on cloud 9. I think her line is so personal and authentic. If you love true artistry then this makes a fabulous gift for both men and women.
Style Union is Handmade In L.A. and donates 5% of all sales from the Unity Collection to Black Women for Wellness.
I think Bandolier is a fantastic gift for all ages. Hands free and hands on—there are so many colors and styles to choose from.
Get away in style on a road trip or a plane ride with my favorite Parker Thatch Tote—find your color and style because they go quick!
