Holiday gift ideas under $100

Holiday gift ideas under $100 from top left: pink scarf (avl in add’l colors) / holiday nail polish / hoop earrings / hobo bag (IT handbag style now and into 2022) / sparkling earrings (avl in add’l colors too) (local boutique) / panther ring / gemstone bracelet (local designer!) / candle / body butter trio /

‘Tis the season of gift giving! I love giving fabulous gifts to that special someone on my list, but I don’t always want to spend a ton of money; especially when buying several gifts at once! Therefore, holiday gifts under $100 are always ideal since I can control how much I am spending! My guess is that you feel the same way?!

Just because we are spending less than $100, doesn’t mean we need to take out the special meaning of the gifts. Do you have a Real Housewives fan on your list? This Panther ring will be perfect! Do you have someone who enjoys shopping local? Check out this gemstone bracelet made by a local San Jose designer, and these earrings from a boutique in Tiburon which also has an online shop. Looking for something woman owned? How about this body butter trio! Also women owned businesses, the gemstone bracelets and the local shop in Tiburon, The Perfect Provenance.

Is there a Fashionista on your list? Hobo bags are hotter than hot, and they will be the ultimate IT bag moving into 2022. This one is fabulous, and under $100. Love that!

Also hot; cozy scarfs in pretty colors, and hoop earrings. Love!

Holiday gift ideas for her 2021

My holiday gift guide for her 2021 is here! This holiday season, I am in the mood to give her the gift of IT items. Why not treat that special someone on your holiday list to an IT bag, IT hair dryer, fabulous kettle, on trend nail polish, classic perfume, cozy boots, a statement belt, and fabulous jewelry!

This year, the shopping theme is “shop early.” With delays in shipping in our ports, we can avoid any stock outages by shopping early, while everything we need to buy is still on store shelves. Unless you are waiting for a Black Friday door buster deal, buying gifts for everyone on your list now, is a wise idea. I have already started shopping, and I hope to be done by Thanksgiving!

Casual date night

Wearing: sunglasses / large gold hoops (under $100) / fall lipstick / pink scarf (under $100) / black oversize top / G buckle belt / dark wash skinny jeans / fall nail polish / black pouch (IT bag under $1000) / chain detail boots /

Life has been so busy lately, my husband and I have not had a chance to go out together without the kids in months! In fact, we have only gone out once since the shut-down ended. About a week ago, we actually had a free Saturday evening, so we took advantage of it!

I have been to Flights in Los Gatos a handful of times with my mom for lunch, but my husband never had a chance to go. He had been missing out! Flights is a restaurant that serves different variations of a dish on the same plate; essentially a flight of food. It’s not only fun, creative, and fresh, it’s delicious!

My husband enjoyed a flight of skewers, while I ordered the seared ahi flight. We shared a plate of mixed mushrooms, and the french fries flight. It was a cool evening, and we ate on the patio, so I also ordered warm tea. It was perfect! The food was so good, and my husband was really impressed. He has a new favorite restaurant, that isn’t a sports bar! haha

Since I knew we would be on the patio, and Los Gatos is a California Casual type of place, I opted for my dark wash skinny jeans paired with my oversize, long sleeve top. To stay warm on the patio, I added my pink scarf. It was perfect for staying cozy outside on a cold evening.

If you are local to the Bay Area, be sure to try out Flights. They have locations in Los Gatos, Campbell, Burlingame, and Las Vegas (obvi not the Bay Area). If you go, make sure you get the french fries flight, it’s a must-have! If you love sushi, or fish in general, the seared ahi flight will knock your socks off. Yum!!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
