			[Blame the New Yorker in me, living in small, crammed spaces for 15 years, but I'm generally against objects that take up space and serve a limited perhaps, i.e. tchotchkes. Paperweights tend to go into that category, but these fashion & beauty oriented ones are just too fabulous to pass up - the exception has been made! From $65, Shopbop.com] 

			
			[Bring style full circle with an item that marries tech and fashion via a designer phone, iPad, or laptop case. Just in time for holiday is the new, affordable, exclusive line at Best Buy from recognized brands such as Kate Spade New York, Nanette Lepore, Anna Sui, and Isaac Mizrahi New York. Shop all options at bestbuy.com/designerseries ]

			
			[Ah, jewelry gift sets. They can skew on the awful side, but also can be awesome.  Just be sure to keep in mind what kind of jewelry the giftee likes, their metal and color preferences, and style. When in doubt, select more fashion forward options - and include a gift receipt! Sets featured are from Sorrelli (from $90) and BaubleBar (from $48).]

			
			[Henri Bendel offers morgramming (in-stores only) on a variety of small leather goods and accessories. Not only will you get your mom or friend a great new wallet, bag, or jewelry roll, but it also can carry their initials! Prices vary]

			
			[Simple jewelry silhouettes in brass, copper, or silver without nary a touch of adornment is the direction that jewelry is going, which coincidentally, gives it great unisex appeal! Get a thick or slender carefully hammered cuff bracelet for him or her; my favorites are these from fellow Pittsburgher Michael Studebaker of Studebaker Metals. From $44, Studebakermetals.com ]

In the spirit of the holiday season, for today’s “it accessory” segment I’ve pulled together a few groupings of accessories that have a high awesome gift potential percentage. All of these items I would certainly love to buy for myself, and for friends and family who have a signature fashion sense and appreciation for accessories. Enjoy this small collection of giftable accessories, and feel guilt-free if you put into the place the “one for them, one for me” method!
