The stockings are hung, but what is inside? It is that time of year when we need to stuff those stockings! What better way to fill her holiday stocking than with beautiful, timeless jewelry and fabulous beauty products! Love that!

These beautiful gemstone bead bracelets are made by a local designer and are priced well under $50 each. I recommend getting three in different colors so she can wear a set! They will fit nicely in her stocking on the mantle.

Who doesn’t love sparkling nails? These three holiday nail polish colors from Dior and Chanel are fabulous for the entire holiday season. They are festive, bold, and still in the neutral family so they can match any ensemble. Plus, each nail polish is priced under $50. Love!

Is she a Chanel fan? She will love this lip gloss set or this classic bottle of Chanel iconic No.5 fragrance. They both fit nicely in a stocking.

Hoops are one of the most timeless earring styles. Why not gift her a pair she will wear year after year? Loving these golden hoops and these silver hoops. They are both priced under $100. Perfection.

This designer silver necklace is classic and extremely high quality. She will treasure it forever. There are plenty of gift ideas which will fit inside a stocking on their website. Check them out! Fabulous investment jewelry.

Sweaters from top left: green striped sweater / charcoal cardigan / tan cardigan / spice striped sweater / black and white striped sweater / purple sweater / light beige sweater / blue sweater /

‘Tis the season for sweaters! This means it is the perfect gift idea for the holiday season! Love that!

Sweaters are perfect this time of year, and they also make amazing gifts. I love sweaters which transcend trends and can be worn for years and years. Stripes are classic; as well as interesting knits in solid hues and subtle patterns. All of the sweaters shown above are either already in my closet, or on my wish list!

If you are looking for the perfect gift for yourself, or others, why not choose a fabulous sweater?! Love! I am hoping to find one of these sweaters under the tree for me on Christmas day. Hint hint Santa!
