My Holiday Gift Guide
I love this time of year. I am a gift giver, and there are some really great ones on the market this year.I wanted to share some of the things I will be gifting this year in my annual gift guide.There's something for everyone. Great gifts for your man, your kids' teachers, your BFF, and of course, a little something for you.1. For You! Style Photo Workshop in Tuscany: Be sure to add one of my Style Photo Workshops in Tuscany to your wish list. You'll get to visit the Fortress, drink wine in our vineyard, and learn from the best of the best. Treat yourself!2. For Him! Men and Style Book by David Coggins: From Amazon: Men and Style reaches beyond standard “what to wear” advice: It is equal parts style guide and intriguing conversation about the masculine identity within the world of fashion. David Coggins explores the history of men’s style and learns from some of the most notable tastemakers in the industry and beyond. Its essays and interviews discuss the lessons men learned from their fathers, the mistakes they made as young men, and how they emerged to become better men. Some of the most dapper men in the world discuss bad mustaches, misguided cologne choices, and unfortunate prom tuxedos. All the men here have arrived at a place in the world and have a keen understanding about how they fit in it. Men and Style celebrates singular men who’ve lived well and can tell us about how they earned their worldview. They’re smart enough to absorb the wisdom that’s hidden in the world, and even smarter to wear that wisdom lightly.3. For your BFF! Williams Sonoma Copper Corkscrew: Never underestimate the power of a well-made corkscrew in a beautiful finish. This one would be great for your BFF or make a wonderful hostess gift throughout the season. 4. For the Teacher! Sling Shot Coffee Caramels: Give the teachers something sweet and something delicious. These are reasonably priced if your student has several teachers, or you can add them to a big basket of other goodies.5. For your Hairdresser! Scandinavisk Candle: Girls, let's be honest: our hairdressers are our lifelines; we couldn't do life without them. When you're making your list this year, pick up a candle or two for your beauty team.6. For the Jet-Setter!
