I’m so excited because FALL is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year. This is when I start changing up the accessories and color scheme in the homes of clients as well as my own. As the Holidays approach so do the parties. When you and your girls plan to have your infamous shindig. Your co-workers are talking about the annual company holiday gathering, and your BFF plans an intimate dinner party for couples only. With all of these invitations what is a girl to do? Being that you were taught when you’re invited to a party you don’t come empty-handed. Whether it’s your special recipe mac and cheese or a personal gift. With my work schedule, I will choose the latter.
For my glamazon girl’s party, the perfect gift for her would be a damask designed silver picture frame because she LOVES her “selfies”. Simple yet unique and apropos for my high-end host. This time of year picture frames are great gifts. The places where you can get the best gift accessories are in specialty stores, boutiques and even good-will. I have found unique pieces for my clients in Goodwill. For my fashionista who would appreciate heirlooms and beautiful vintage jewelry, whatever city or state you are in, there’s a mom and pop shop! I use to frequent many in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. I would find decanters and mason jars that I could put holiday specialty coffees and teas in as a gift. There’s so many treasures to find you just have to hunt for them. I love when I see the surprise on their faces when I have given that perfect unexpected gift!
This Holiday season be creative and think outside of the box. I love finding treasures in what some may feel is trash. Flea markets are also a great place to find great homemade accessories. Handmade carved wooden vases, scented candles, coasters, decorative glassware, flatware, and wine glasses for example. Small accessories are the best holiday gift ideas. When shopping always refer to the seasons color palette, as well as consider what you would want to buy yourself, and you’ll forever be on point!
The thought does truly count!
