What to give and wear for the Holidays

What to Give

Oh my! It’s that time of year when gift giving is at its peak. Not a difficult task at all, right?? Keep it simple and think about what the gift recipient would like to receive, not what you want to give them.

 

A great gift is often something the person would not normally buy for themselves. That’s what makes gift giving so fun! Don’t rule out the practical gift if the receiver is open to a gift that is less than whimsical. But, know your audience. If unsure, error on the non-practical side; surprise gifts such as jewelry, bath & body products or services, even a special piece of clothing, can make wonderful gifts.

 

I know what you are thinking; how am I going to accomplish this? First, contact me. I have been gift shopping for clients for many years and it’s my passion. I can assist you with personal gifts for family and friends, or office and corporate gifts.

 

I can pick things out, have them wrapped, and deliver them right to you. I also offer gift giving consultations by phone to get you headed in the right direction.

 

Gift certificates are another option for those that are still undecided. I can send any dollar amount for either a shopping trip or a closet consultation. All services are $75.00 an hour.

 

In the end it’s the thought that counts! So put your best foot forward and enjoy the season of gift giving. Make this the year that you get a little expert advice from a seasoned professional shopper.

 

What to Wear

Holiday office party? Entertaining at home? Meeting friends for some holiday cheer? No need to stress about what to wear. Holiday dressing, December through Valentine’s Day is special, and it should be. One exception is the “ugly sweater” party. Go for it! Wear that fun sweater you picked up at Ragstock. I like to call those items non-commitment pieces!

 

That said, don’t keep and wear holiday outfits that are outdated. If you pull on your red sweater from 1985 and feel frumpy, trust your instincts and wear something more on trend.

 

Your outfit doesn’t necessarily have to be red and green to make it a “holiday outfit”. Try wearing a sequin sweater or blouse in a color that looks great on you. A little sparkle feels festive! Pair the sweater with a fitted black pant or leather skirt, and you have an updated look. Finally, don’t forget the shoe of the season, the bootie!
