GIFT GUIDE – for her…

 

It’s that time of year… here’s my GIFT GUIDE for all the amazing women in your life. Give well!

 

“The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.”  ~Pierre Corneille, Le Menteur

 

< $25Glamour Travel Bags – need a Secret Santa Gift or stocking stuffer? These colourful totes are great for travel – keeping your lingerie, laundry and shoes organized.

< $50 - GAP Sequin Tote – you can never have too many totes. This sequin bag in polyester is great for gym clothes, a laptop, and other essentials.

< $75Iomoi monogrammed canvas makeup bag – nothing adds a personal touch to a gift like someone’s initials! And if you’re tight on time or want a little less bank, Iomoi’s noncustom large and small zigzag canvas totes serve a multitude of purposes.

< $100 - TOMS Beaumont Skull Slip-On – in red or navy – These limited holiday edition TOMS are too good to pass up. And with every purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.

< $150 – Jo Malone’s perfume – Jo Malone has a fragrance for everyone. Favoring citrus scents, grapefruit is my go-to. The collection (including candles and body lotion) make great hostess gifts.

< $200 - Henri Bendel’s “Disturbed Stripe Small Train Case” – every woman’s dream toiletry bag.

< $250 - Michael Kors Rose Golden Chronograph Watch – a gift she’s guaranteed to LOVE.

< $400 - White + Warren’s Cashmere Travel Wrap – nothing says the holidays like cashmere, but I wear my grey frost cashmere wrap year-round (buy in Canada). I want every colour!

< $500 - YSL’s Chic Leather iPad case / sleeve – comes in black and pink. Speaks for itself.

 




I’m all for ladies first, but in this case – I saved the best for last. Yesterday was our men’s gift guide, and last week featured a unisex guide. Today is for the GIRLS!

This time of year causes many people a lot of stress, and as much as we try every gift can’t always be a 10… or can it?? For the men out there, and women buying gifts for other women, check out what to buy for less than $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, $200, $250, $300, $500, and $1,000.

Other safe suggestions for women are a spa or restaurant gift certificate (maybe take it one step further and book her treatments for her); a mani-pedi gift card at her neighborhood place (you were paying attention!); her favorite lux shampoo and conditioner or perfume (again showing attention to detail); a trip (together or on her own, either should be sans kids); a night away; an iTunes playlist (for her to enjoy during a bath, working out, or getting ready in the morning); her favorite DVD or CD; a magazine subscription to one of her favorite publications…

And last but not least, the most important part of any gift is the card. Don’t forget it, and more important is what you write inside. Even if it’s a few lines, don’t just sign your name. This is your chance to recognize, thank, honor, and cherish someone. Make a statement money can’t buy.




In follow up to last week’s unisex gift suggestions, here are WATW‘s top-coveted picks for what to buy a man for less than $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, $200, $250, $300, $500, and $1,000.

Whether his style leans toward a metro-sexual, a retro-sexual (bringing retro back JT-style), or a good ol’ rugged Old Spice wearing cowboy – there’s something here for every MAN.

Merry Merry!! ☺



“Anything you give, you should love enough to keep for yourself.” – Adam Glassman


Looking for a hostess gift this season? Or maybe something for your hair dresser, concierge, nanny, dog walker, colleague, boss or friend? Gift certificates are always a safe bet, as is a nice candle, bottle of wine, or even cash. But it’s also nice to give something unique. Here are WATW‘s unisex gifts for < $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, $200, $250, $300, $500 and $1,000. You can’t go wrong!
