The $50-ish Gift Guide For Everyone On Your List

 

Saturdays At Shop This

Please allow me to begin with heartfelt thanks to all of our veterans. We celebrate each of them, including my own Marine, "Mr. Shop This." And now I present the best links of the week in this weekend wrap up. 

Make every sip a statement with Estelle Colored Glasses. Loving these jewel tones! A pair of these make an elegant gift.

The first photo on the page is from Nest New York. They are offering 20% off on select best sellers. Use Code: FALL20. Their home fragrance is some of the best!

Have you seen UGG's newest handbag? It is just the cutest! It will match your classic UGG boots.

Bling Bling: The Swarovski X Skim Collab just dropped at Bergdorf Goodman! Now your shapewear can sparkle, too!

Sparkle through the season. If you are looking for a little bling ( okay, a lot. ) This dress by Dress The Population will get you noticed. Love the length.

I love a good Bobbi Brown Beauty sale. Now you can save up to 40% on skincare and makeup through 11/11. It includes her fabulous "Eye Base."

Put a ring on it:  This set of 4 crystal Napkin Rings are so elegant! They make the best little holiday hostess gift for $24.99 at Ashley Stark Home.

Need a case for an Apple Device? Chic Geeks certainly make the most stylish. I have two. Neiman Marcus has them on sale for 30% off!

Sustain & Heal: This beautiful Etsy Shop is where I order my gift wrap. It's handmade by artisans in Bangladesh. Each purchase supports children's educations, fresh water, and more in India. The paper is text weight and huge. I love the deckled edges. It creates the most sophisticated look for any time of year. Select several shades that match your decor.

And speaking of Etsy, I recommend that you visit Martha Stewart's curated collection at Etsy. It will elevate your holiday mantel, table, gift giving and more. As Martha would say: "It's a Good Thing."

Hopefully you found something to love in the Holiday Gift Guide: Kids Edition. Next up, Monday or Tuesday will be the Tweens & Teen Edition. But if you didn't find what you were looking for, just reach out. I am happy to help. It's a free service.
