I feel certain that every year people feel like the holidays sneak up on them, but this year they flat out hid behind a door and then jumped out at me! But I’m ready to get this party started and this year I want to focus on some local and more small shop vendors that I have found and just love the personalization and thought that goes into their gifts.
My first online shop is Perfectly Gifted Frisco. It was hard for me to even narrow down the gifts I wanted to feature because I loved so many, but my top pick was definitely this adorable Dalmation Tray. This is something I would keep out all year and dress it up for the different seasons on our coffee table! And if you want to throw some more cuteness on it, guess what? They sell monograms… I can’t ever pass up a monogram!
My second favorite was this adorable, again customizable, cork carry all!
Pick your colors and fonts and give a gift that is personal and will be loved much longer than just this season!
The next fun stop is Accessory Concierge! These locals are always on my shopping list and if truth be told, I have a hard time buying for others when shopping there… but yes, I know, it’s about giving right now!
First up- bracelets… ALL the bracelets! The cuffs are my personal favorite but you can find their huge selection here.
I could go on for hours about the necklaces and earrings as well but they also have a fun section of home decor and these Agate Napkin Rings are calling my name!
Literally drooling. And you won’t want to stop there when you see the other agate accessories they have!
Last, but certainly not least, is a store called All The Wire. I love this store for not only the charitable work that they do but also for the stories they want to put behind their products. Can you tell I am working on a theme this year? Personal. I want my people to know that when I bought them a present it wasn’t out of obligation, but out of thought and care and the jewelry that All the Wire sells can be customized to express a certain sentiment or date to show that!
This Coordinate Bar is one of my favorites. The location of your birth, your wedding, your first home, a loved one. I personally have one of these and it displays the coordinates of where my Mother’s ashes are. It is by my heart every day and I am always so thankful for it.
Or how about a custom Cuff Bracelet!
I love giving presents and I’m so excited to start checking off my list! I hope your shopping trips are filled with love rather than stress. It can be a stressful time of year with emotions running high but just remember, it’s the thought that counts!
