2011 Holiday Gift Guide - STUFFERS

Hunting for stocking stuffers is one of the best parts of holiday shopping, I think. I love finding inexpensive goodies! Stocking stuffer-type gifts are also great for people you feel compelled to buy a gift for, but don’t want to break the bank on—coworkers, casual friends/acquaintances, etc.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this year’s gift guide installments! I’ll keep posting answers to your specific questions about gifts over the next several weeks as well, so keep an eye out for those.

2011 Holiday Gift Guide - FOR HIM

Every year I always get dozens of requests about ideas for what to buy a dad, brother, husband, boyfriend, etc. To be honest, it is a hard category to make recommendations for. With that in mind, I’ve tried to make this gift guide as varied as possible to give you some ideas to work with. Oh, and just for fun—I’ve noted which items were specifically recommended by Brandon with an asterisk!

I’m so excited about this year’s gift guides! As always, nothing is over $100.
Here’s when they’ll be posted:
TODAY, NOV. 16 -
THURSDAY, NOV. 17 -
FRIDAY, NOV. 18 -
MONDAY, NOV. 21 -
TUESDAY, NOV. 22 -
I can’t wait to share this year’s gift guides with you! Watch out for the FOR HIM gift guide coming later this morning.
It’s that time of year again!
For my 2010 gift guides, I broke items down by price (under $100, under $50, etc.). But since these are supposed to be helpful, I’d rather get some input about what would be most beneficial before plowing ahead here.
Would you like to see gifts by price or by category? If category, do you want it really specific (“for a tech lover”) or more broad (“jewelry”)?

Holiday Gift Guides!
Have you been checking out the gift guides over on Bon Marche? Today Eboni listed some fun gifts for kids. :)
(I’m partial to book gifts for children, myself! But that should come as no surprise.)
Holiday Gift Guide 2010 - Under $150

Here’s the final installment of my guide guide! I usually don’t feature items on this blog that are over $100, but because you may want to get a little extra splurge this Christmas, here are some ideas.

1. Paul & Joe Printed Cotton Leather Tote, $143 (from $285) - Adorable handbag heavily discounted!
2. Create by Jason Wu Digital Camera, $127 - A really handy camera to have around since it has a built-in USB. No cords!
3. Amazon WiFi Kindle 3, $139 - Apparently the “most gifted” gift this season.
4. Kenneth Jay Lane Earrings, $100 - Colorful, bright, fun and gold-plated with Swarovski crystals.
5. Jeffrey Campbell Pixie Wedge, $143 - Everyone has these—now it’s your turn.
6. House of Harlow Stackable Rings, $100 - A really unique take on the stackable rings trend.
7. Juicy Couture Robe, $88 - A robe is one of those things you hate to buy for yourself but are pretty awesome gifts to receive.
8. ASOS Vintage-Style Faux Fur Coat, $103 - This would look so great with some black skinny jeans and high-heeled boots.
I’ll be continuing doing some gift guides over on Bon Marche, as well as answering holiday-related style/outfit questions here.
I hope these gift guides have been helpful to you this year! Did you find any good ideas?
