The Southern Eclectic Gift Guide :: Holiday 2010


You are going to have to forgive me. I started out really focused with this gift guide. Something for moms - check. Something for husbands - check. Something for myself - check... check... check... check... Oops.

I can explain.

I got carried away at Tiffany's.

It all started out innocent enough. Their website is just too user-friendly and let me click with abandon on everything sparkly! I could not stop! I really really wanted to. I tried to x away from the page. But then I saw the section called "Rings"...which then gave me a choice of how I wanted to search for rings. Harmless, I figured. After all, it was just asking me to browse, not buy. Well I'll just take a teensy little peek. Can't hurt. Let's see... Silver. Gold. White gold....Diamonds.... Uh buh....*drool.* I don't want to get into details, but I decided it was time to step away from the computer when I was curiously seeing if I could add the $6,000,000.00 round-brilliant 18.44-carat flawless colorless diamond in a split-shank setting to my shopping cart. {Don't worry Biz I have to call to order or something lame like that...annoying}


Harry & David Caramel Moose Munch with Milk Chocolate
So delish and perfect for neighbors, co-workers, etc. They will love you forever and then some!

Hail Merry Blonde Macaroons
I am a massive proponent of anything Hail Merry, and these macaroons are no exception. Chocolate macaroons are also an option, as are granola and chocolate tarts to name just a small selection.

Could these be any cuter?! The price can't be beaten either, so you can gift two or three or more. I want I want!

E.L.F. 100 Color Eyeshadow Palette
I thought of my nieces when I saw this. 100 colors of eyeshadow for the bargain price of $10.00!

Stately Styles Sunnies
Stately Styles is a company a good friend of mine started and frankly I think it is genius. The premise behind it is essentially this: monthly subscriptions for goodies like sunglasses to tees to undies, with a new surprise pair arriving each month. He sent me a pair that he had aptly named "The Southern Electric: Get ready to light up the room. One part French couture and one part electric, these Stately sunnies are prime for the dance floor. Behold the belle of the ball!" Love it!!! You may remember me looking extremely cool whilst wearing a pair of neon green Stately Sunnies here.


Yubz Retro Handset
This is also fab. Don't you miss talking on "old-fashioned" phones sometimes? Yubz has created these great retro handsets in a rainbow of colors that can plug into your cell. They also have one that plugs into the computer for video calling. Genius!

We have some of these cutting boards and they are great. There are too many styles to count so there is bound to be something for everyone on your list, particularly grandfathers, husbands and brothers. If they actually know where the kitchen is and will use the board, even better.

Now I have to be honest with you. I am not a huge fan of everything MacKenzie-Childs, but I do love most of the Courtly Check series...especially this cake carrier. Pretty enough to leave out all the time as permanent kitchen decor. Perfect for mom's.

Prada Nylon Tote {Hello diaper bag!}
Also available with hearts as seen in first photograph above.

OBSESSED!!!!!
Oscar de la Renta Coquellage Necklace
There is even a coordinating bracelet and pair of earrings, too!!!!!!! Can you tell this was the one I originally picked out for myself?
The Oscar de la Renta website also has red and turquoise options, but the gold takes the cake by far far far in my opinion.


Frye Studded Boots
Some people get so used to seeing me in bright colors all the time that when winter arrives and my leather jacket and studded gloves become my near daily wardrobe staple, they are often quite shocked. I love anything - including these boots - with a bit of an edgy, rock and roll vibe though, particularly when mixed in with chunky jewelry like that Oscar necklace above. These boots would really get a lot of wear in my opinion - paired with leggings, or tights and a skirt - anything goes!
Same feel as the Frye but on the high-end side. We all know I can't get enough Miu Miu.

Hermes Enamel Bracelet
Great for that extra special someone. I don't know why I am putting this on here as I'm sure husbands are not scouring my blog for wife presents! It is pretty to look at though :)

Jennifer Meyer Pendant Necklace

Ok so you are with me so far, yes? Lots of suggestions in lots of price ranges. But this is kind of where the madness began. I saw that great pendant necklace above by Jennifer Meyer on the Barneys website, then remembered that there were actually some letter necklaces I preferred at Tiffany's:

{I always choose gold over silver}

Hmmm...I wonder what else Elsa has designed....let me search...


And then I just got really goofy............


Tiffany & Co. Sapphire Ring
{my birthstone! Need!}



Tiffany & Co. Diamond Ring

I decided $6 million was a good place to draw the line for a gift guide.
