The gift of giving

This month we celebrate the gift of giving and if your scared of crowds and long lines, I suggest buying most of your gifts online.

For my best friend who’s always on trend I found Rachel Zoe’s Faux fur vest ($79.80). It can be found on qvc.com.

For something classic that anyone would love, Smythson.com is perfect. To make something personal, order a monogrammed journal, planner, or stationary with their initials. Smythson has been around since 1887, has been used by the English royal family for many years, and even Jackie O was a client.

To give a stylish gift that will make your loved ones stay healthy, lulu lemon workout outfits are very flattering on every figure, amazingly comfortable and motivate you to exercise and stay active.

This season, more than ever, I feel inspired to give gifts with a purpose. I ordered a pair of Tom’s shoes for everyone in my family. For every pair you buy, the company will give a new pair of shoes to a child a need. I bought the gold glitter pair ($54) for my sisters. It is the perfect gift because, not only are you helping a great cause, you are also giving a fashionable and fun gift.

The gift of giving back always makes you feel good too! One of my favorite holiday traditions it to pick a salvation army angel tree. The Angel Tree is a fun way to give if you like shopping. Just pick out an angel ornament that has a girl or boy, their age, and a description of some of the items on their Christmas list and drop it off at the mall where you picked it out. You can have fun shopping for them and you will be proving them with a few things that they need and a few that they wish for.

Most importantly, do not forget to write a thoughtful thank you note for the gifts you receive and the parties you are invited to. Everyone loves to open up a thoughtful note with a charming or humorous description of your time together.
