Glitz & Glam 

I am so excited to share my holiday gift guide with you.  I know we’re in a recession, but in my opinion, the holidays are always a time to splash out and add a little sparkle to life, so forget that flannel robe you were planning on purchasing, and check out my glitzy glam picks that are sure to cheer you up (and aren’t too hard on the wallet!). 
1. Ruffle Wristlet, Etsy, $25
3. Creed Silver Mountain Water, Creed Perfumes, $270 
4. Melinda Maria Oxidized Link Ring, Melinda Maria, $98
5. Black lace leggings, Ruche, $32.99

7. Sequined pillow, Horchow, $129.90

 

Men’s Gift Guide 

In this Holiday Gift Guide for Men I have featured a variety of gifts from books, technology, sports, music, and clothing.  It was also important to me to focus on gifts that are functional, chic, and classic pieces that you can be sure the special man in your life will hold on to for a long time! (except for the Microbrew Beer of the Month Club Membership…that is really a gift that should be enjoyed immediately!)


In creating this gift guide it was also important to me to feature a variety of price points.  At my blog Living Luxe for Less, my motto is, spend less, live better, and I believe that everyone should be able to enjoy nice things without going over their budget. 

1. The New iPod Touch, Apple, starting at $229
2. Take Ivy, Amazon, $16.47

6. Hermes Tie, Hermes, $170

13. The Wire: The Complete Series, Amazon, $106.99
14. J. Crew Washed Favorite Shirts, J.Crew, $59.50


Travelista 
Maybe you know someone who is a world wide traveler or someone who is planning on becoming one! Either way, here’s a gift guide for the dreamer or the wanderer.  It’s good to surround ourselves with both inspiration and happy memories – I think these gift ideas could set the mood for both!

Kitchen Gift Guide
