Early Bird Holiday Gift Ideas

Early Bird Holiday Gift Ideas from top left: gemstone bracelets (under $50) / holiday scented shower gel set (under $50) / G buckle belt (luxury gift under $500) / IT bag (under $300) / statement earrings (under $100) / Pumpkin Spice body butter (under $50) / hair dryer (luxury gift under $500) / classic IT bag / candle (under $50) / holiday nail polish top coat (under $50) /

I am sure you have heard by now, there is a back-up at the ports, which may result in delays for holiday shopping. This means shopping early is a really good idea! So, to make things easier, I put together an early bird holiday gift guide with a sample of different gift ideas in varying price points. I hope you love these early bird holiday gift ideas!

These gemstone bracelets are designed, and handmade, by a local designer in San Jose, California. They are very affordable, and make the perfect gift! You can give one pretty bracelet, or put a stack of three together for a complete look. Even with three, you can stay under $100. Love that!

Handbags are always a great gift! There are two IT bags in this guide, one is priced under $300 and the other is a luxury gift. You can’t go wrong with either one! They are both fabulous, and classic. This means she will enjoy your gift for years. Love!

Beauty items such as shower gel and candles always make great gifts and stocking stuffers. I shared a few of my favorites in this post. Also, earrings in her favorite color are always a hit.

Things are opening up! The weather is fabulous, and the economy is opening; this means it’s the perfect time to head over to Downtown Tiburon and shop local! The Perfect Provenance is my favorite local boutique. The shop is full of on trend clothing for both men and women, as well as children’s books, home decor, accessories, and the most amazing gifts!

The Perfect Provenance is full of artisan candles, luxurious fragrances, vacation-ready handbags, jewelry from local designers, and some products which directly charity. There is a little bit of everyone in-store, love that!

I picked up luxurious soap for my Mom for Mother’s Day. As you can see in the photo at the top of this post, the soap is made in France, and has the most amazing scent. I chose “Lavande” for her since she is a huge lavender fan. I know she will love it! In addition to the soap, I also picked up fragrance from Veronique Gabai, which only uses natural, ethically sourced ingredients. They also use green chemistry, and biodegradable materials. Mom will love this!

If you are looking for fragrance, and/or candles for Mom, The Perfect Provenance has something I am sure she will love.

Oh, and speaking of products with a cause. . .

On the surface, this look like a trendy tee with the word “Peace” written on the front. Underneath it all, this tee is anything from ordinary; in fact, it is extraordinary and special. alivia is an extra special brand, which takes inspiration from autistic artists. Everything from the art to the stitches was hand-made by autistic artisans. In addition, 10% of sales goes back to the artist’s non-profit. Love that! This tee is a must-have for summer. It will look so cute with shorts and sandals. They also make sweatshirts, masks, and scrunchies. Love!

I am loving all the fabulous straw, woven, and natural fiber handbags we are seeing this year for the summer season. The Perfect provenance has a plethora of beautiful summer bags in stock right now, as we speak. I know they won’t last long! This one in the photo above is perfect for a beachy vacation, or day-to-day summer life. Love it!

If you are local to the Bay Area, be sure to pop into The Perfect Provenance this week and find something special for Mom. Or, you can always treat her to brunch at Sam’s on Sunday, and then walk across the street and let her pick out anything she wants from the store! I know I would love that on Mother’s Day!

Not local? No worries! You can shop everything you see here by either calling the store, or shopping directly from their website at ThePerfectProvenance.com.

One of the things I love about The Perfect Provenance is that they have several products which directly benefit Operation Smile. This tee below is new and special for the Tiburon store. Love that is says “Smile California,” You can learn more about the collection online here.

I hope you find everything you need for Mother’s Day! Have a fabulous Mother’s Day and thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
