2012 Holiday Gift Guide: For The Ladies

Aw, yeah. Momma made a mood board… for mommas (or any other ladies out there). So without further ado, here’s what I’m loving – both as gift ideas for fellow gals in my life… or even for finding under the tree myself. Oh and in the interest of thriftiness, there are a bunch of under-$15 things, a few $30-or-less finds, and a couple spendier items peppered in there (but nothing over 65 beans).

1. This fun watch watch from Anthropologie is pretty cute. I could see going in on it with a sister in law (since most of our family gifts are in the $30 range, this $58 gift is perfect for two folks to share).

2.This $48 brightly colored clutch is my jam. I’d totally use it inside of my big ol’ purse (to restore order to my cavernous bag) and then pull it out on any occasion when I want to travel lighter.

3. I actually already have one of these leather keychain tassels – and it probably saves me at least ten minutes a day because it’s so easy to find my keys in my aforementioned cavernous bag now that they’re all tassel-y. And you guys know I’m a fool for grellow.

4. This pom-pom hat from Target is under $23 and would look cute on pretty much anyone.

Momma Mood Board

5. Words can’t express how much I love this $30 leopard bracelet. I think it would make any girl feel fancy.

6. How pretty would one (or even three) of these guys be, all glowy and charming on a mantel or windowsill? And they’re all on sale right now. I would totally grab one of the small $19 ones and make some cookies and give them to a good friend together (to me coziness = a votive candle flickering in the windows while I suck down cookies). Update: they sold out of the smaller $19 guys – bummers!

7. I’ve dropped some heavy hints to Santa that I’d swoon over these guys in this rich emerald color (John sweetly got me a different set of Kendra Scott earrings last year and I’ve worn them about a million times since).

8. We all know that I love big earrings, but I’m not a snob about ’em. In other words, many of mine are under $8 – like this pretty pair from Tar-jay.

9. This is my very favorite nail polish ever (it’s eco and stays on forever) and these three colors feel pretty festive for the holidays (found here, here, and here).

10. John and I have a collection of capiz frames for each year that we’ve been married with a picture of us taken on our anniversary inside. So although we have another six months until our 6 year anniversary rolls around, I’m always on the lookout for pretty capiz frames, and round ones like this are my favorite (tip: I usually hold out until they hit the clearance bin at Anthro for under ten bucks).

Woop, there it is. Momma’s list o’ holiday goodies for ladies.

Update: You can check out all of our favorite holiday decor finds here – many of which are under $15!

    Love your mood board! There’s some super fun stuff here. I’ll have to check out Zoya polish — thanks!

    This year in an effort to be sustainable, my family is only buying each other “consumable” gifts. Not necessarily food (although gourmet chocolate is always a welcome gift!), but things that can be used up. For instance, I asked for bath salts. I’m probably getting someone pretty stationery. You know, fun things that can be used up! Because we already have enough stuff. :)

    We aren’t doing a tree this year (despite being surrounded by coniferous trees everywhere) since it would just be in the way with renovations and we don’t want anything else cluttering, but we are doing gifts. I asked for a waffle maker from my husband, and a pasta set for my kitchenaid from my Dad. What can I say, this lady likes food. I was having a horrible time finding something for my husband, but while watching a YouTube video last night we found out there is a book on the history of chainsaws. Bingo. That’s my man.

    I am pretty dysfunctional about the holidays at the best of times, and after 20 years together, we’re pretty much over getting each other gifts in the usual way. We just ordered two Ekornes Stressless chairs, so on Christmas morning we’ll hold hands and stare at the spot in the family room where the chairs will go when they arrive in 8-10 weeks. Festive, no? Well, maybe it’s just me.

    I’m in love with the watch, the little houses, and the clutch! The next person who asks me what I want for Christmas is getting a link to this post. One day I’ll be trendy, one day.

    My sister (and hopefully her daughter) will LOVE it. Nice to cross another gift off our list too :)

Just wanted to share that Target carries an AWESOME knock off of the Anthropologie watch in the $10 range. It comes in that swoony mint, a crafty coral and a few other fun finds! Perfect for a stocking!

    I have that Anthro watch – a birthday gift from the hubby – and I love it. I get compliments on it constantly. The only issue is that the gold is more of a finish over silver metal, so over time it’s worn off so now the dial and numbers are just gold. But I still love it and wear it everyday. Here’s hope you get it!

There are a few expensive things but almost everything is in the $30-50 range and just the cutest stuff. I was just on there making a wishlist for my guy to check out ;)

    But on my “official” Christmas list – coffee table books and Ikea gift cards to put in a wall of bookcases! Woot.

    During our second Christmas together, hubby asked what I wanted. My reply was “flannel sheets.” He complained “that’s not romantic.” I replied “neither is being cold.”

    My list this year is: 1) a copy of Deb Perelman’s Smitten Kitchen cookbook, 2) a kitchen renovation, 3) flooring for my bedroom and 4) a fence in my front yard to contain the posse (my six rescue chihuahuas).

    Again, if hubby were here, he’d be complaining that I wasn’t romantic. My reply would be “If you enjoy eating, and I know you do, buy me the cookbook and win the lottery so you can fix our kitchen. An empty tummy is not romantic.”

    (My daughter says he’s sitting on a park bench half a block from the Pearly Gates, and our four deceased pups come out to visit him every day, but St. Peter won’t let him in until he admits I took good care of him.)

    I’m getting a 22′ extension ladder for Christmas so I can paint our stairwell! By the way, Antro says the picture frame is made of bone- don’t know if it matters.

      No way! Thanks for the tip! I always thought those things were capiz. Good to know! World Market sells some that I’m certain are capiz, so that’s helpful!

    I actually have the Anthro capiz frame you have listed and when I bought it I thought of you. :)

    I’m asking Santa this year for a new Macbook Air. I dream big.

    Love the suggestions, but I think my wish list may end up on the “dude” list. I am absolutely chomping at the bit for a compound miter saw. Almost bought one on Black Friday, but it was a bait and switch deal, not the nice one we’ve been drooling over for 1/2 price. Boo Home Depot bait and switch! But being a lady, I also would love some new perfume. Gotta smell nice when you’re downstairs building bookcases and stuff, right?

      I totally support the miter saw for the Christmas. You’ll love it!

    LOVE the Zoya polish, mine stays on at least 2 weeks! The fall colors are on my wish list too :) but I always like to give them as gifts to girlfriends when I have an Ulta coupon.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Hi, Sherry! Saw these earrings and thought of you. I think they’re so festive and pretty.

    After seeing the Zoya nail polish on your list, I added it to my Christmas list. It showed up in my stocking after I noticed it and pointed it out to my husband on a shopping trip to Whole Foods. I put it on immediately this morning and I LOVE it. It only needed one coat, which is awesome, dried quickly and looks very glam!
