For Her

2016-holiday-gift-guide-for-her-for-him-under-250-personal-stylist-houston-christmas-gift-guide

  1. Fashion illustration is crazy popular right now (just glance through your last ten Insta feed fashion photos) and this top illustrator Megan Hess has a beautiful vase collection. Stylish and classy, I love that this vase is double-sided and can’t help but love the gold sequin and glitter embellishments.
  2. These Versace cat-eye sunglasses have a great retro vibe. With their metal grommet accents wide arms, they give a nod to the Mod trend that is so hot right now. Not sure if they are the right shape for her? Check out my post on finding the right shades for your face shape!
  3. No holiday gift list is complete without a pair of Ugg slippers. These luxe lamb fur trimmed and lined slippers are beautiful in eye-catching royal blue or subtle oatmeal shades. Because sometimes it gets cold here!
  4. This brightly colored canvas wristlet from the iconic British department store Liberty is an instant (and low commitment!) statement for any outfit. Moms and those who love marinara: The coated canvas easily wipes clean so it can accompany you on life’s messiest adventures.
  5. I love Trina Turk prints and may or may not want to buy all of her throw pillows. They are perfect for bringing a punch of color and personality to neutrals and can easily be mixed and matched. Love the sharp blues and brass accents of this Mediterranean print.
  6. I’m a huge believer in facial cleansing brushes. I’ve had mine for years and this updated version from Foreo is ultra-hygienic with the use of silicone, doesn’t require replacement brushes, and lasts forever on a single charge. Plus it’s magenta! <3
  7. The masters of blow dry has put together a phenomenal kit. Everything for an at-home blow out is included: hairdryer, clips, blowdry cream, dry shampoo, and volumizing mousse. Don’t forget about the shower cap to preserve all that body!
  8. Help them start 2017 off right! A closet edit, lookbook session, or even a simple shopping trip can do wonders for a person’s image, confidence, and sanity. Bonus – gift certificates come gift wrapped and ready for gifting. Done and done.

For Him

  1. This futuristic kit can turn everything in your home into a “smart thing.” Your lights, speakers, door locks, and windows can all be controlled from your smart phone. It’s a techie’s dream come true!
  2. These iconic sunglasses have stood the test of time. They suit every age group and are an easy choice for the classically styled man in your life.
  3. Love this contemporary update to a gift standard. The semi-precious stones and asymmetrical design make them a sophisticated stand out.
  4. I absolutely love what Shop Box Fox is doing! They create unique high quality gift boxes (pre-selected or customizable) wrapped and sent to your recipient. This kit is for the man’s man. It includes the motivational NY Times Bestseller Shoedog, a luxe “be legendary” leather tray, a masculine 10-foot rope charging cord, and a set of two Every Man Jack lip balms. All in a sleek gift box with a handwritten greeting card.
  5. While Burberry is known for making exceptional ties, it’s the color that really sets this one apart. This Italian silk tie in bright blue is an excellent addition to any wardrobe.
  6. Let’s face it, we spend fortunes looking amazing and defying our age. Help the guy in your life keep up with this Tom Ford serum specifically designed for men.
  7. This Dior fragrance newcomer has been selling out quickly with its masculine and distinguished scent. Bonus: It’s not a generic fragrance that every other guy already owns.
  8. This was one of my most well-received gifts last year! I am so in love with this brand and had a chance to visit the manufacturing studio when I was in Charleston this summer. Impeccable craftsmanship and unique feather designs make this bow tie the perfect gift for the dapper gentlemen in your life.
