Santa Baby, bring me …After a year of chasing after little ones and juggling too many balls to count, this busy working mom wants some girl time, courtesy of these fabulous gift ideas!
Frames and fortune dressThe price tag on this retro dress from ModCloth definitely made me raise my shades, but the greatest gifts are the things you’d never actually buy yourself, right? I’d love to accessorize this cutesy dress with bold red or yellow heels and an oversize clutch. (ModCloth, $245)
Glass water faucetThis metal water faucet sculpture is completely impractical but totally pretty, making it the perfect gift for the girly girl on your list. Just picture it sitting somewhere stately like a bookcase or throwing guests for a loop when they see it perched next to the bathroom sink or atop a piano. (Uncommon Goods, $50)
Rose Marigold camera bagJo Totes’ camera bags pull double duty, as camera tote and stylish handbag so you don’t have to juggle both. I’ve been eyeing the Rose Marigold, though I’ll admit to coveting the Georgia bag, too! Both pretty and practical, the bags feature adjustable interior pads to accommodate whatever gear you’re toting. Check out all their styles. (Jo Totes, $89)
Mercury glass pillarsI may or may not admit to fancying The Real Housewives of Anywhere. And I may or may not have a slight obsession with Beverly Hills’ Lisa Vanderpump’s incredible mirrored bedroom. Since I’d have to invest in a warehouse of Windex just to keep such frivolousness clean from the hands of my tykes, I’ll settle for some equally frivolous and precious pillars from Pottery Barn. (Antique mercury glass pillars, $20-$50)
Keep the Ocean Blue braceletThis company is actually near and dear to my, pardon the pun, heart. Hearts.com sources unique, handmade and, most importantly, socially responsible fashion items from around the world. I’ve had my eye on their sea glass pieces for quite some time and can’t wait to sport these beautiful gems. (Bracelet, $58; earrings, $42)
Kitchen tablet standAs someone with no Pinterest patience, I’m prone to pinning a recipe and immediately trying to re-create it. This Smart Tools tablet stand allows you to prop up your tablet on the kitchen counter for easy viewing while following a recipe. Another great Smart Tools pick is the iPad screen shield to stop splatters. (Williams-Sonoma; tablet stand, $50; screen shield, $15)
Lace headbandI’ve pinned many of these headbands, but let’s be real, they’re never gonna get done, so someone please buy me one instead. Just imagine making these from your wedding dress to wear throughout the year or gift to your daughter. Swoon … oh wait, no time! (Stitch from the Heart, $27)
Oversize crocheted clutchAnother pick from Hearts.com, this oversize crocheted clutch is a fair trade product, sourced from a group of women artisans in India. Proceeds from these hand-crocheted lace items go toward projects like free eye tests and glasses for the artisans, as well as free school uniforms and blankets for retirees. (Hearts.com, $48)
Jaquita open-toe pumpThere's something about the platform peep-toe plus a jeweled brooch and sumptuous jewel tone of the shoe … I’m literally drooling over these pretty pumps. They’re a steal at less than $100, and come in black, red satin or light gold, so you really have no excuse not to snatch them up for your holiday parties! (Nine West, $89)
Classic bowl setWe all need some food storage in our lives, so why not at least make it fun and girly with jewel-toned nesting bowls from Tupperware? This is by far my top Tupperware pick, if I were to admit to actually having favorites when it comes to food storage. They work, they’re cute and they totally match those peep-toe pumps. Sold! (Impressions classic bowl set, $35)
