Holiday Hostess Gifts from Santana Row

November 24, 2014 in Bay Area Fashion / Shopping tagged anthropologie / c wonder / holiday gift guide 2014 / holiday gift ideas / holidays 2014 / paper source / santana row / z gallerie by Bay Area Fashionista

The holiday party season is upon us, this means you may need to think about bringing a hostess gift to an event you are attending! Although it is common to bring a bottle of wine to an event as a hostess gift, this is really getting boring. Do you want to be that pedestrian? Plus, what if the host does not drink? Wine could actually be a bad gift!

So what is a fashionable party guest to do? Never fear, Santana Row is here! I have partnered with my favorite Bay Area shopping destination to bring you new hostess gift ideas which do not involve alcohol. Love that!

There are so many options when it comes to hostess gifts this holiday season. Scroll down to see my picks from Santana Row for the perfect hostess gift this holiday party season!

Anthropologie

Anthropologie is a fabulous destination for Hostess gifts this holiday season. The store is jam-packed with table top decor, home decor and gift items. For the hostess, why not present her with a warm and cozy blanket she can keep for after the party? The day after she hosts a party she will be tired from all that entertaining and appreciate a new, cozy blanket to snuggle up on the sofa with while she relaxes and reminisces about how she just threw the party of the year.

If a blanket does not seem like your hostess’s thing, why not a personalized mug! Everyone needs a mug, and she will be receiving one she can enjoy hot cocoa in this cold weather season, or wake up to with a warm cup of coffee.

Please visit the Anthropologie store at Santana Row or call 408.249.0436.

C. Wonder

C. Wonder is a fabulous destination for gifts all year long. Therefore, it is only natural that it is a one-stop-shop for gifts this holiday season! In addition to holiday gifts, it is the perfect place to go to find the ideal hostess gift. Since everyone else is bringing wine (yawn), why not bring a bottle stopper? Or a pie stand with a box of cookies from Cocola? Monogram gifts are on-trend this season and these cute little dishes are perfect for the hostess on your list. My picks from C. Wonder are featured above, but there is plenty more in store!

Please visit C. Wonder at Santana Row or call 408.246.1754 for more information.

Paper Source

Paper Source is a fun place to find cards, wrapping paper, and gifts for the holiday season. They also have a great selection of hostess gifts. I love the mugs pictured above. The “Peace Love Joy” mug is ideal for any hostess while the “Grinch” mug will be perfect for the hostess on your party circuit with a sense of humor.

To shop, please visit Paper Source at Santana Row or call 408.241.9000

Z Gallerie

Pictured: Cutting Board (in-store only) / Bunny Trinket Box

Z Gallerie is always a good place to find gifts for the home decor enthusiast on your list. Why not bring your hostess an unique cutting board which can also double as something to display on a kitchen shelf? The fabulous cutting board pictured above will make your hostess’s jaw drop! Or, why not give her a fabulous trinket box! You can write, and then roll up, a thank you note for the party invitation and place it inside the trinket box before you give it to her. She will love the surprise when she opens it!

To shop these selections and more, please visit Z Gallerie at Santana Row or call 408.615.9865

There you have it! For more hostess gift ideas, please visit Santana Row.

flopZ flip flops review

November 21, 2014 in General Fashion / Shoes tagged flip flops / flopz / holiday gift guide 2014 / holiday gift ideas by Bay Area Fashionista

Pictured: c/o flopZ flip flops

One of my favorite shoe styles on casual days is a pair of flip flops. They are easy to slip on and off and seem to match almost any casual outfit. Another way I use flip flops is as a comfort shoe. If I have been wearing high heels all day or doing a lot of walking or standing, a pair of flip flops is an easy, nonrestrictive shoe to wear and let my feet take a breather. So, when I was introduced to this hot new flopZ brand, I was thrilled!

flopZ is a new collection of upscale, luminescent flip flops. Although they look chic and cool on the outside, there is something that makes them special on the inside. There is an unique gel insole which treats feet to a soothing massage while walking. Love that!

I tried flopZ flip flops after a long day on my feet and they were amazing. The flip flops made my feet feel so good and it instantly relaxed me as I walked around. I am also in love with the colors. They are vibrant and downright happy! Definitely a fun way to relax my feet after a long day. Of course, a girl can never have just one pair of flip flops, so I have my eye on a couple more colors from the collection. They will also make great holiday gifts for my loved ones this Christmas season!

Each pair of flopZ comes with its’ own shoe bag; making them easy to pack into a tote bag or suitcase. Love that! To shop the flopZ collection, please visit flopz.com.
