Though I got a late start this year, I love the holidays — including the shopping frenzy. I love discovering new products, analyzing gift guides, crafting Pinterest boards, but mostly I love finding that perfect gift. Here’s my curated Holiday Gift Guide with a little something for everyone.
My Wish List:
Cheers tee (J.Crew); Pop Pop Popcorn Taster (MOUTH); The Bowery camera bag (ONA); Key Chain bottle opener (Coach); Fire Cider
Most of these speak for themselves — my love for libations and popcorn are well known. Clockwise from top left:
- A fresh tee that toasts to any occasion.
- Who wouldn’t love a gift set of specialty popcorns?
- Now that I have a fancy camera (again), I’d love to store it in this beautiful antique cognac bag for shoots on the go.
- I could use a good new keychain, and quality leather plus (extra) functionality is a win-win.
- The Fire Cider would be a great mixer or as a tonic on its own.
More of my Holiday Wish List.
For your sister who loves champagne and lives too far away from you:
Pennsylvania Home tee (The Home.T); Champagne Bon Bon (Makes Scents Natural Spa Line); Fair Isle socks (Madewell); Faux Fur Ice Scraper Mitts (Fabulous Furs); Christmas with the Rat Pack; Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (Verizon); St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
Clockwise from top left:
- Remind your favorite person from where they came in a t-shirt boasting her home state — comes in men’s sizes as well.
- Makes Scents Natural Spa Line has a variety of delicious-scented bath and body products to pamper your favorite girl. My sister will adore the Mimosa line and this champagne bon bon. You can SAVE 30% on your order now through Dec. 20 with code “SaraBozich30.”
- You can’t go wrong with these adorable Fair Isle patterned trouser socks.
- For the forever-fashionista — faux fur ice scrapers make even the most menial task fabulous (looking, at least).
- Christmas with The Rat Pack — The only Christmas album you ever need, I promise.
- For skype-ing with far-away relatives, plus great games, speed and connectivity. I’ve never been much of a tablet-user, but I tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 for about a month and fell in love with it. It’s just the right size for portability and function.
- I’ve often said that any cocktail that use St. Germain is a good one. Treat your sister to a bottle — she’ll love the St. Germain spritzer — add some of the elderflower liqueur and club soda to a bottle of Pinot Grigio in a pitcher with ice for a perfect brunch cocktail.
For the hostess with the mostess/Hard-to-shop for relative/Secret Santa:
Wooden martini glasses (Uncommon Goods); Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup (Mikuni Wild Harvest); Pinnacle Cinnamon Roll Vodka; Mr. & Mrs. rocks glasses (Furbish); Bottle opener & resealer (Kaufman Mercantile); Hot Sauce sampler (Torchbearer Sauces)
Clockwise from top left:
- This first one’s a little splurgy at $100/set, but how cool would these wooden martini glasses be?
- For the bourbon and pancake enthusiast on your list. (This is probably anyone on your list.)
- Word is Pennsylvania was the first state to launch this new vodka. Try it mixed with cider or ginger ale. You’ll be the hit of the party.
- Know someone who got engaged this holiday season? Boom — you just got them the best gift. Pair with bottle of ORD Love Potion.
- I grabbed two of these cool bottle openers that also re-seal your beer — perfect for that bomber you just had to dig in to.
- Still stumped? Any food lover, cook or grill enthusiast will love the gift sampler of Torchbearer Sauce’s best sellers.
