If you’re anything like me, the list of people you need to buy for this holiday season is continuously growing. Whether it’s finding big gifts for those closest to me – or something small for my cousins and colleagues – it feels like I’ll be shopping until December 24. But, since Christmas Eve is my family’s big celebration – that’s not going to happen.

So, although I’m usually against it, I’ve officially starting online shopping for holiday gifts – which means that these gift guides have already made my life easier, and I hope they will do the same for you!
I’ve had a few weekend shopping excursions, so luckily I’ve been able to snag a few of these items for serious discounts. I’ve also made a few stops at the Boss Babe Popup Shop in Chicago – eight local female designers have taken up shop in Block 37 until NYE! I’ve you’re local you MUST stop in, and if you’re not – you can shop a few of my favorite finds in the guides below, because we all know I love to #shopsmall!
And of course, I’ve talked about this before, but I’ve got to tell you again – I really love giving themed gifts. Whether it’s a gift basket full of small trinkets or a collection of gifts over the years, I think having a theme makes shopping easier and more fun {check back next week for a few of my favorite themes!}.
This will be the third year that I’ve bought my grandma something from the Kate Spade Larabee Dot glassware collection. I started her collection with the stemless red wine glasses in 2014, the bouquet vase in 2015 and this year, I’m finishing off her collection with the wine decanter – it doesn’t hurt that some of my favorite Kate Spade gifts are on sale at Bloomingdales {use code FRIEND for 25% off}! Kate Spade’s glassware is AMAZING quality, so they are definitely worth the $50+ price tag – great for the entertainer, or if you are buying for someone like my grandma – they look great on display in your China cabinet!
If you know you will be buying for someone every year {like your grandma, mom or sister}, starting them a collection they will love, and that you can add to every year, is an easy and thoughtful way to take the stress out of holiday shopping for years to come!
Check out all of my favorite gifts {including the Kate Spade Larabee Dot Collection!} that you can snag for under $25, under $50 and under $100 – there is something for everyone on your list! Shop directly through the links below.
Happy shopping!
