Gift Giving Guide for Men
I think buying for my husband is the hardest thing. He is so particular and men’s gadgets are so much more expensive than women’s. I can’t pick him up a pretty little scarf and have him be thrilled. Here are my best ideas for the men in your life. Got any ideas of your own to add?
Not’s Your Dad’s Tie – I know a tie is so generic but this Fair Isle knit tie is so not the generic dad tie! Any dad (or not dad) would look hot in this.

J.Crew
Drink in Style – Jack Spade Repp Stripe Thermos
Keep Cozy – Ben Sherman Plectrum Flat Cap
Whisk him away – Filson Small Duffel Bag
Keep Time – Natural Wooden Watch from Red Envelope
My Favorite Things
It is November, time for Oprah’s Favorite Things! And if Oprah can do it why not the rest of us right? Also known as “what to give any woman in your life for the holidays”. So take note gents, these are some great gift ideas.
Bling – Kate Spade glitterball Ipad sleeve. What better way to give a little sparkle without having to really give the real deal?
Get Cozy – Who doesn’t want to imagine they are sea worthy? This anchor scarf from J.Crew makes you feel likes sailor.
Wedge Booties – Enzo Angiolini
Chunky Necklace – Must have of the season. And in coral too. Wear it with everything. Stella and Dot Gold and Coral Epoxy Stone Bib Necklace
Stay covered – Gloves to go with your new scarf. Coach long colorblock pocket glove
- I LOVE tights. Tights might be my favorite thing. Ok well, probably not but I do love tights. A note on tights. You are never too old for tights! You are always too young for panty hose. Throw away your panty hose, get some cute tights. I’ll get off my soap box now.
Easter Decor Galore
I love Easter, it is all candy and pastel colors and springy flowers, how could you not love that? I’m super excited to take my new baby girl home for the first time to be with our families for Easter so I’ve got the holiday on the brain and how we can make it beautiful!

Enjoy a green cocktail for me this St. Patrick’s Day! I think these alternatives to green beer look like an awesome way to celebrate.
Ginger Lime Kiwi Martini
Herradura Green Agave Cocktail

Midori Lagoon
Whiskey Cocktail
Enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day and be safe!
