The holidays are my absolute favorite time year. I love everything about them. The food, the gift giving (and receiving), the days off of work, and all of the coziness. Sigh. Love. As an ode to this amazing time of year and to Oprah herself (love her too!), I've put together a list of favorite gifts I'll be giving this holiday season.
1. Lululemon Vinyasa Scarves
I started wearing these this past winter and Lululemon has really created a monster. These puppies are so warm, comfy, and cozy I literally wear mine every day. I think people at the office are getting concerned that I'm hiding something under there... regardless these are perfect gifts and can be found here

2. Holiday Gems
I bought these fun J. Crew earrings for my sister (hopefully she doesn't read this before the big day) and loved them so much that I bought a pair for myself. It's so fun to have a statement piece or two to jazz things up around the holidays! They can be found here

3. This Theory Dress
One of my besties wore this dress to my bridal shower back in November and it was an instant hit. This is definitely on my wish list this Christmas! This can be found here...hint! hint!

4. Statement Jewelry
Gold is so hot right now and I'm pretty much obsessed with everything that this incredibly talented Charleston based designer creates. Her pieces are so unique and so beautiful and I just can't get enough! This is definitely my go to for the perfect stocking stuffers. Check it out here

5. Red Nails and Gift Cards to Bella Sante!
I bought my two recently engaged friends gift cards for special manis at Bella Sante in Boston so I of course had to tag along. We all had the double exfoliation manicure and it was pure heaven... and we all got RED. This is the first time I have ever had a color on my nails. My girlfriends inspired me to think boldly and I am now hooked.
I think Opi Big Apple Red is the perfect shade and while I don't think this red would fly for a client meeting... the holidays mean no work and that means no worries :)

6. Frye Smyth Harness Short Boots
Slightly obsessed would be an under statement. Also did you know that there is now a Frye store on Newbury Street in Boston? I ordered these online as a gift for someone and had them shipped directly to the person, but did drop by the new Newbury digs the other day. The store is totally cool and the staff is so friendly and helpful. I can't believe the place opened in the summer and I am just now discovering it.... my credit card never stood a chance anyway.
These hot little numbers can be found here

7. Fur (or Faux) Infinity Scarves
Aside from feeling bad for rabbits... I do love these fur infinity scarves that are all the rage this year. They are just. so. soft. and cozy. My fiance's mom gave me one of these this year and I love it so much that I went out and bought another one to give to my sister (man she is getting spoiled this year!).

8. Stuff to Build Stuff
I know you are thinking...W.T.F? Why is a drill thingy on this list? But hear me out... I bought this drill thingy (or rather impact wrench if you want to get technical) for my dad because he is a master builder. The man can literally create anything. Whether that be a pair of earrings (no joke), a working model of the human respiratory system (also no joke), a new motorcycle (again no joke), or a beautiful piece of woodwork (still not a joke), the man is literally a professional maker of things. When I bought him this wrench this year it got me thinking that we should take a hint from dad and instead of just buying we should be doing more creating. Amen.

9. JAMBOX
I love to rock out to a good Miley Cyrus song in my jammies when I'm home alone (did I mention I'm almost 30?) and this puppy allows you to do this on the go! My soon to be HUSBAND (weird) got one of these for me and I already love it so so much. So much dancing...So much Miley.... Fair warning..... Find it here

10. Core Fusion Classes
This is the best work out of all time. I love the barre classes but have done the more sporty varieties as well and they all completely kick your butt. A gift card to Exhale would be the perfect way to work off all of those holiday treats.
