The Perfect Gift {Stocking Stuffers for Her}

I always love opening my stocking on Christmas morning. It's filled with lots of little goodies such as new nail polishes, my favorite treats, and gift cards. But, stockings are also great for stuffing with brightly printed accessories and even some necessities. Here are my suggestions for some chic stuffers...

{1} Gift Cards: I always love getting gift cards because it gives me an excuse to go into my favorite stores and over spend. One of my favorites to get an iTunes card. I can finally download all of the songs I've been meaning to download for months!

{2} Tory Burch Leopard Gloves: I would love to find these in my stocking! Warm, functional, and chic, these are the perfect balance between necessity and want.

{3} Essie Nail Polish: Perfect for replenishing the stock after a year of using those dried out goopy colors! 

{4} J.Crew Multi Color Bangles: What girl doesn't like finding jewelry? These are great for mixing and matching and for stuffing into stockings!

{5} Sara Happ Lip Slip: My absolute favorite lip gloss! A little goes a long way with this gloss so the tub lasts forever. And not to mention the gloss stays on for such a long time, there is no need to reapply every 10 minutes.

{6} Jonathan Adler Umbrella: What a way to brighten up a gray day! The print and colors on this umbrella are ones she is bound to love!

The Perfect Gift {The Traveler}

Another day, another gift guide. But this one I must say is one of my favorites all about the perfect gift for the explorer. Travel can be difficult. There are so many things to remember in order to be comfortable while on your adventure. You have to consider what you will need to leave the country, to be comfortable during your stay, and of course what you'll need in order to remember the amazing trip you are on. But, no worries, I've laid it all out for you in today. Here are my top travel gift picks!

{1} Journal: A picture is worth a thousand words, yes. But a picture can't capture the same emotion of the moment, taste of the food, or names of the people you meet like a journal can. It's a must keep in my travel bag to record all of the funny happenings, sayings, places I would recommend to others, and memories of my adventure. A true must for any traveler.

{2} Lug Life Pillow Blanket Set: This 2-in-1 pillow blanket set is a necessity. Planes can be cold, and the pillows are never comfortable. Since lugging the large pillow from your bed is not always an option, this is perfect for sleeping on long flights or on airport floors in case of delayed travel. 

{3} Alternative Duffle: A duffle is a great bag to travel with. It's typically the perfect size if you decide to carry your bag on and durable enough to be checked. My little travel secret is that I always fold and stash an extra duffle in my suitcase just in case I buy too many treasures on my trip. This way, I can stuff the bag with gifts and carry it on with me! 

{4} Eye Mask: It's happened to everybody. You are on a plane, or maybe even a train, and the passenger sitting next to you has the light on to read or you are getting blinded by the glare of the in flight movie, both of which make it a little difficult to sleep. An eye mask is great because it blocks out any unwanted light making it easier to rest up before the big adventure. Plus, this one looks like Holly Golightly's in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"!

{5} Kate Spade Passport Cover: Necessary? No. But it does help to preserve the life of your passport if you use it a lot. Plus this one is just incredibly cute!

The Perfect Gift {The Tech Lover}

If you are as technologically challenged as me, finding the perfect gift for the tech lover in your life can be nothing but an uphill battle. I know it is for me! But no worries, this year I'm giving five gifts that are beyond cool, even for someone like me! Here they are...

{1} Pop! Handset: This gold receiver will plug into your phone (it works on any phone, not just a smart phone) or laptop to make talking on your cell or on Skype a little bit more enjoyable! 

{2} Apple TV: My personal obsession. It will allow you to wirelessly stream movies, TV shows, music, and pictures from your iTunes to your TV. Not only can stream movies and TV shows from Netflix, you can rent movies and TV shows through iTunes and stream them directly on your TV. 

{3} Sony Full HD Camcorder and Projector: This 32 GB will allow you to record videos then immediately project them on to any surface. Pretty sweet! 

{4} Grace Audio Victorian Radio: Not as old school as you may think. It is actually a Wi-Fi Internet Radio. It has full built in Pandora Radio capabilities, an iPhone remote app, can hook up to your home stereo system, and so much more! 

{5} Telephoto Phone Lenses:  These are 3 lenses that magnetically attach to any phone (not just a smart phone!) to transform your cell phone camera into a professional camera. Three lenses come in the pack and transform your phone lens into Fisheye, Macro, and Wide Angle lenses. Pretty cool if you ask me!
