The Midlife Fashionista: unique gifts

How to spend those gift cards!

Hope you had a wonderful holiday! It's hard to believe that 2018 is just around the corner. Time flies!

If you received some gift cards that are burning a hole in your wallet, here are some ideas on how to spend them! I highly recommend everything shown here!

First up is the Nume Travel Kit. My daughter Alyssa was the first to get this and of course I needed all the details! She surprised me with this amazing hair kit for Christmas and I LOVE it! It has every styling tool you'll ever need packed neatly in one travel box...there's a blowdryer, flatiron and curling wand. Now I need to go away so I can use it!

Every year Richard and I say that we're going to exchange SMALL gifts. Then he shows me up by giving me something "not so small" like this Sonos! He got pj's and a sweater...oops!

Anyway, I'm so happy that he splurged because I haven't stopped using it! The sound quality is amazing and it has a built in personal assistant (Alexa).

Sterling Silver Mother of Pearl Necklace (under $40!) OK, this one I bought for myself, but isn't it stunning? I may just wear it for New Year's Eve! Quantities are low so here are other options in case it sells out HERE and HERE (both are STUNNING)

We moved (again!) last month and all of my winter clothes are being held hostage in storage. So Richard told me to pick out a new winter coat as one of my holiday gifts. I wanted something different from basic black, so this amazing camo parka caught my eye. It's SOOOO warm and cozy and I love the longer length and large hood! It's roomy so size down.

Find it here.

And how about some super warm (but stylish!) boots to go with the coat? OTBT makes extremely comfortable footwear that I love. Use code MIDLIFEFASHIONISTA to take 10% off!

Find these boots here.

And last but not least, I can't say ENOUGH good things about this beautiful and comfy shirt from Soft Surroundings which JUST happens to be on super sale for under $50! That design on the back is over the top fabulous! I'm wearing XS and I'm a size 2.

Boots from White Mountain Shoes (under $60!)

You worked hard shopping for everyone else, so now it's time to shop for yourself!

Get those gift cards out (or your credit card--haha).

Unique gifts she'll love!

Boston

The holidays will soon be here and if you're stuck for gift ideas, here are some of my favorite things that are perfect for the stylish woman in your life (or maybe it's a gift for yourself...don't worry, I won't tell!)

The Clarisonic Opal

This little devil has become my "go-to" under eye de-bagger. It's an amazing massager that

penetrates eye cream deep into the tissue resulting in a more rested look. No more bags---

what a gift that is!

The Hiptini

Perfect for the woman on the go, this little bag can be worn a number of different ways from cross- body style to a clutch... even chained around the waist! I love my Hiptini for every-day and especially for traveling (it's so versatile!). Available in a variety of stylish colors and textures, this beauty is 100% leather and made in the U.S.A. (love the tassel too!).

I own this metallic stingray Hiptini--isn't it gorgeous? I brought it with me on a recent trip to South Carolina andI used it for sightseeing, walking the beach and even going out to dinner!

The Lariat Necklace

Jewelry designer Sandra Willmer has a passion for creating beautiful things. I own the this stunning pearl and suede lariat necklace which always gets so many compliments! Not only is it gorgeous, but it's also versatile as it can be worn a number of different ways. This piece makes a truly unique and special gift. Check out Sandra's website for her full collection.

A spritz from Hawaii

These Kopa Haiku air fresheners (from Hawaii) are a safer, more natural way of freshening your home or car. In yummy scents like Mango Coconut or Sandalwood Vanilla, a little goes a long way! Since they contain essential oils and no harsh chemicals, they can even double duty as a hair scent! I picked up several of these for stocking stuffers..they're fabulous and just $12.00 (great teacher gift!). Available at All About M in Marblehead, MA. Out of the area? Call owner Arwen to ask about shipping.

Getting steamy

This steamer may look small but it packs a powerful blast that de-wrinkles clothes in a matter of seconds. It's lightweight and easy to use---plus it can double as a face steamer making it

two gifts in one!

For the "boho girl"

Luxa Jewelry's gorgeous collection of necklaces, earrings and bracelets will bring out her inner bohemian. Each piece is crafted with care and made from high-quality natural stones and precious metals. I own several pieces of Luxa and absolutely love this fabulous line! Free domestic shipping too!

The gift of style

Last but not least, give her the gift of style this season with a gift certificate for a wardrobe session or shopping trip with yours truly. Treat her to an in-home closet session, shopping trip, virtual consult (distance coaching) or give her a complete wardrobe makeover! She'll feel confident, stylish and beautiful just like these gorgeous ladies did after working together!
