2. For the modern man:
Shopping for a man? A SprezzaBox is a fabulous gift for any man on your shopping list. What is a SprezzaBox? It’s a monthly subscription service designed for men that includes 5-6 curated accessories delivered monthly for only $28/mo (it’s guaranteed to have over $100 in value). The boxes typically include neckties, socks, pocket squares, and grooming & lifestyle items. Based in NYC, the company is rapidly growing and has been featured in Forbes & The Wall Street Journal. I recently received a SprezzaBox and it was full of amazing goodies for the hubby:

  • Maestro Watch (value of $105)
  • AN IVY Necktie (value of $48)
  • Alara Pocket Square (value of $24)
  • SPREZZA Socks (value of $12)
  • Classic Pen (value of $10)

We are so happy with the wide selection of high-quality men’s accessories in our box. I love the idea of gifting a SprezzaBox – it’s easy, convenient and thoughtful! To keep up with the latest offers from SprezzaBox, check them out on Facebook and Instagram.

3. For the kid interested in science:
The Howtoons Gami-Bot Kit is ideal for the child who loves science and engineering. The kit includes all the supplies required to make four origami robots, four vibrational motors and five batteries. Also included is the Howtoons comic (it was totally adorable, by the way). Designed for kids aged 7-12 years old, these kits are perfect for the child beginning to develop an interest in robotics. I love that each kit includes everything to get started right away, including easy-to-follow instructions. I know my older daughter is going to love this kit- she is taking after her mom and expressing an interest in science & math. And of course, I love to encourage her so this kit is going to be a hit at Christmastime. Developed by Saul Griffith & Joost Benson while at MIT, Howtoons is unique that it adds art & story to the experience of learning. The company offers single kits, classroom kits and even monthly subscription boxes. For a child interested in science, this is an easy gift idea. Keep up with the latest from Howtoons on Facebook & Twitter.

4. For the perfectly accessorized woman:
Jewelry is always a fun choice for any woman on your list. There’s no need to worry about sizes and there is something for every budget. The Easy Elegance Necklace from Erica Lyons is a long necklace that is beautifully elegant. I love that it’s so versatile- it can work well with a casual top or an evening dress.

Another item from Erica Lyons that I’m loving is the Starlight Crystal Cuff. This affordable bracelet features a hematite-toned metal with clear glass crystals. Since it stretches, it offers a comfortable fit for all women. And let’s face it… adding a stylish bracelet is an easy way to elevate any outfit. Erica Lyons offers stylish, trendy jewelry pieces for every budget through their website. To keep up with the latest promotions from the company, check them out on Facebook and Instagram.

5. For the child that loves creative play:
Know a little one that loves arts & crafts? We recently received the Flora The Genius Costume Puzzle and love it. This educational building game for children consists of 82 colored felt modules that fit together. I love that the felt pieces can be easily attached or detached from each other. The kit comes with an easy-to-follow instructions to create Flora (but you can totally get creative and create something different) and is designed for kids aged 4-12 years old. Once constructed, the costume is fun and entertaining for the kids. However, the actual construction of the costume is part of the excitement, too. My younger daughter loves to be creative so I think this one will be a perfect holiday gift for her. By the way, the company also offers other characters, such as Drago the Fire Breathing Dragon, Priscilla the Adventurous Princess, Blake the Busy Bee, and more.

6. For the makeup enthusiast:
Know a makeup fiend? Then the Purple Lemonade Cosmetic Bags are a great gift choice. These bags are spacious and offer plenty of room for cosmetics, beauty products and jewelry. Isn’t the saying on my bag totally adorable? Many of my friends are makeup lovers so a cosmetic bag like this would be a big hit for them.

7. For the tea lover:
Do you know someone that enjoys a daily cup of tea? Elevate their everyday tea experience with an Old Dutch Cast Iron Sapporo Teapot. I love that this teapot retains heat well so that the tea will stay at the proper temperature for a long time (up to an hour). Plus, the interior is made of a porcelain enamel for a clean, pure taste. By the way, the teapot comes with an included infuser.
