Where do we start? There are sooo many wonderful gifts to give her. Find a starter sample below. Keep checking back to this blog, as I am in the middle of more posts to publish in the coming days! Happy Shopping.
THE must have piece for her wardrobe (and perfect for New Years, and special cool-weather outings like the theater, dinner, concerts, fundraisers, etc) are pleather pants. You will find most stores are offering their special fit and style, so shop around, but here's a selection at Macy's. STYLE TIP: If in doubt, I suggest the stovepipe leg - it goes straight down, but is not skinny to the ankle, and try for pants that are full length - many are hemmed high at the ankle, or split in front to make a shoe statement. Shoot for a mid-rise waist, whether zippered like jeans or elastic waist pull ons. The below are a perfect example, from the GAP for $71 (plus 50% off Black Friday weekend!)
These lovely rose gold steel goblets by Jillmo are not only very unique and pretty, they are unbreakable. Made of 304 stainless steel with a mirror finish on the outside. Would be fab for her bath, for date drinks or picnics as well as an elegant meal at home. The 18 oz stemware comes as a set of two, and are on sale now for only $17 on AMAZON, What a steal!
Something welcome, lasting and useful that she may not buy for herself: beautiful linen napkins. A set of 2, 4 or 8 of bona fide linen in a gorgeous color (or mix and match) is a tasteful, grown up gift that delivers a lot of richness without breaking the bank. Here's just a suggestion from MyKitchenLinens on Etsy. You can get 10x10 or 16x16 for between $6.90- 9.90 each but they can be found at many stores. But I suggest you look for only 100% linen and choose based on colorant texture
A cashmere wrap is a lifetime
staple. Especially if gotten in a neutral color, it can be worn with an evening gown or jeans, to warm or camouflage and everything in between for decades. Worth the splurge. Right now,
Garnet Hill has their 100% Mongolian cashmere wraps on sale for $119, that's 40% off of the regular $199! . And if that is too much, they are offering cashmere socks (either ankle or knee) blended with a little poly for strength and spandex to stay up, for $21! Sale prices are through 11/28.
NUFACE is a little electrical stimulation machine that people like Jennifer Aniston and JLo swear by. It sends signal through the muscles in the face to exercise tired jawlines and stimulate collagen. It takes 5 minutes a day, but consistency - like flossing - and a little time - several months to show real results but the reviews I read were convincing enough for me to try it myself. Read details and see all the selections

Love this thermal base layer called the Frigid Ridge thermal hooded sweater. Made of 25% merino wool, 35% eco vero, and 40% poly, choose from four colors - including lime, black, this teal color and an equally fabulous winterberry. I'm getting one for myself!
It's fitted, but has raglan sleeves for mobility, thumb holes and is long enough to not ride up under an outer jacket. But the unique thing about this top is that the hood converts to a full balaclava! From

Thanks to Martha Stewart, these milky green glassware came back to our consciousness. Maddeningly, they are never on sale. This 80 oz. batter bowl is on

Heard of the MELT Method? This is an excellent program for all fitness levels that works on fascia in a non-aggressive, effective way. If the fascia is sticking, the muscles just don't slide properly - so workouts from yoga to powerlifting to playing sports don't work like they should. It can be why we pull our our back, our neck etc. This is not hard to learn and while they offer hour long classes, you can do many released in minutes. A difference you can feel with the first use! I swear by it. I recommend you do not try to substitute their tools - a
soft foam roller ($79
) and
hand/food balls ($34)- with something else. Get 10% off by joining their mailing list. It's not a gimmick, and they are specialized for optimal success.
Add
a DVD or a subscription for a month for their huge library online of on demand classes for only $15 for unlimited access to all the melt videos as well as some live classes. Or you can give a year for $129. Find those details
HERE. Apparently there is a
30 day free trial of Melt on Demand if you mention the code AMAZON.
