The Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide

by

It’s happened to all of us: someone presents  a gift and… uh oh, we’ve got zilch, nada, nothing for them. Panic sets in as we run through our brains for any gift we can potentially scrounge up, or worse, “re-gift.”

We want to make sure these situations never happen again, or when they do we are as prepared as possible. That’s why we’ve compiled our very own Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide. The following selection has a variety of gifts– from quirky to chic– for every person on your forgotten list (oops!). Never feel unprepared again, or at least not during the holidays!

Sweet Tea Towels

For the hostess…

Sweet Tea Towel $15 – The name is simply too appropriate. These towels make the perfect addition for any kitchen or tabletop, plus the soy and hemp blend makes them eco-friendly!

For the foodie…

StateByFood Tote Bag, $25 – By combining two fabulous concepts, fashion and food, this tote bag features illustrations of food from each state in the U.S from New York Bagels to Idaho Potatoes. Ideal for grocery shopping or everyday use, this is sure to put a smile on any foodie’s face.

For the techie…

Kate Spade iPhone Cases, $40 -Let’s face it; none of us can endure life without our beloved technological gadgets. We’re always looking at them, so why not style them?

For the workaholic, or the friend in need of organization…

Moleskins, $12 – A definite MUST-have, the Moleskin Memo Pockets multi-pocketed folders are perfect for our multifaceted lives. Consider it a portable file folder.

For the girl on the go…

mark Main Squeeze Lip Glosses, $10- These sheer, high-shine glosses put tubes to shame. Mod, yet girly all you’ve got to do is flip, pinch and apply. [Also makes perfect stocking stuffers.]

For the wild party girl…

For the accessories queen…

west elm Porcelain Ring Dish, $19 – This matte white bird ring stand will bring peace to any disorganized dresser or nightstand. Place rings on the tail so as to never lose them again.

For the artist…

Avon’s Expert Mega Palette, $29- The fun never ends with this expert palette, originally a $75 value! With an array of colors for eyes, lips, and face (over 75 shades to be exact), you can primp and play everyday from this holiday until the next. I mean, who couldn’t use some extra makeup?

For the cold lover…or hater…

Topshop Black Faux Fur Mittens, $36 – A furry fun force against the fierce frigid cold. Say that three times fast!

For the gym rat…

Lululemon skinny satin pirouette headband, $12 – Hair never wants to stay in place, especially when working out. These headbands hold bangs and flyaways, while giving our ponytails the love they deserve. Looking good while working out is certainly not a crime.

For the fashionista…

Chanel Nail Polish, $25- Whether a classic shade, wild metallic or matte, Chanel does nail polish like nobody else. The polishes apply evenly and vividly, delivering long-lasting results.

W Hotels The Store – Not Just for Tourists!

by

Even if you aren’t a guest of the hotel, W Hotels The Store is definitely a shopping destination worthy of a trip! We recently went to an event for W Hotels the Store, and discovered that the shop features a mixture of (mostly) reasonably priced gifts, clothing, jewelry, fashion accessories, handbags, shoes, beauty products, home supplies, and other unique items. It’s a complete 180 from the traditional hotel gift shop; many of the trendy products are unique and limited edition.

Some of our favorite gift giving ideas? The Rubiks Pepper Mill ($17), a pepper mill in the shape of a Rubiks Cube; high-end, aesthetically pleasing office supplies by Neo-Utility (each individual item priced at $39); and a leather bangle by House of Harlow ($95).

In addition, the store recently launched “Global Glam,” a limited edition designer collection inspired by five of the W’s new hotel locations: South Beach, Hong Kong, Santiago, downtown NYC, and Istanbul.

The hotel hopes that this new feature will begin and continue to “align the brand with the world of fashion in an authentic and innovative way.” And I can’t see the idea failing, especially when you consider some of the designers who have already collaborated on the Global Glam collections: Foley + Corinna, Lauren Merkin, Rachel Leigh, Wink, and Susan Daniels are just some of the big names who have created pieces exclusive to W Hotels The Store.

Currently, 16 W hotels feature W Hotels The Store, including: multiple Chicago and New York locations, Dallas, San Diego, Mexico City, Atlanta, Hong Kong, South Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. Many items available for in-store purchase can also be found online.
