Everyone is bombarded with thousands of posts and emails for shopping around the holidays. I wanted to put together a useful guide for the sales that I know about as well as what I have purchased this holiday season. I often feel stressed in the holiday season with all the advertisements as I feel the need to buy things. I think it is super important to set a realistic budget and live within your means for gifting. You don’t always have to buy things from department or designers stores. Personally, I am making homemade Christmas cookies for my coworkers and friends in the area. I will be sharing the recipes for the cookies later this week.
For her:
Bracelet Stack: Styled Collective, J Crew, Anthropologie
Pajamas: Victoria’s Secret, Eberjey, HoneyDew Intimates
Cute mask: (I know seems silly, but I wish I had fancier masks to match my outfits instead of my surgical masks from the hospital): Swatch Hub (Option 1 // 2 // 3 // 4)
Cozy loungewear: H&M (Option 1 Top/Pants), Nordstrom (Option 1 Top/Pants // Option 2 Top/Pants)
For the fancy lady:
Canada Goose (I have had mine for 6 years and it is the warmest, most durable coat I’ve owned)
Chanel fashion jewelry piece (You have to go into the store to buy these items, resale value is fantastic…if anyone needs help let me know I have my sales associate in NYC)
Michele Watch
For him:
Slippers: I bought my father-in-law Ugg slippers and they are incredibly cozy.
Shiatsu Back-Shoulder-Neck Massager
Office chair: Yes, this can be for anyone. I personally go to work everyday and Tushar works from home. Might seem like a weird gift, but a good office chair is essential to prevent back pain.
