Gift Guides - The World Traveler

Today's gift guide is for the world traveler.  I am an avid traveler and any of these items would make my traveling not only easier, but much more stylish!

I actually have one of these and I can't travel without it now.  I bought it about a year ago for my honeymoon and have taken it on every trip with me, it's so handy when you are traveling with passports and other travel documents.

These little bags are great for laundry, wet bathing suits, and shoes in your suitcase.

These camera bags are so stylish, it doesn't even look like you're carrying a camera bag!  I love it!

A fabulous travel journal to keep flight times, itineraries, travel tips, etc.

This is a great travel case and it's made from super sturdy canvas so it's durable whether you are traveling on safari in Africa or heading to the Hamptons for the weekend!

Gift Guides - Calendars

A calendar always makes a wonderful gift, you can give one to your best friend, your neighbor, your mailman, the sentiment is always appreciated.  Of course with this batch of calendars, you may want to keep them all for your self!

Gift Guides - The Newly Married Couple

I don’t know about you but it seems like everyone I know is getting married.  That being said I’m sure you have a few “just married” couples on your gift list this year.  While many wedding registries stay open long after the wedding has passed if you are looking for a fun and unique gift here are some great options.

I have been in love with these embroidered samplers since the minute I saw them. 

I actually received these tea towels as a gift for my wedding and I love them.  The perfect gift for the newlywed's kitchen.

This customized wedding banner is a beautiful way to remember such a momentus occasion

I love this fun and quirky "his" and "hers" pillow set.

I love this modern take on the recipe box, I think this gift could be made even more special if you included some special recipes for the newlyweds.

This is a great gift idea for those bookworm newlyweds in your life, monogrammed bookplates!

Gift Guides - Co-workers

We are going to kick off this year's Gift Guides with co-workers.  I think this can be either a really easy or really difficult shopping category depending on several factors!  I have picked out some fun finds that are also easy on the wallet...

The HandiSleeve is surely going to be a big hit amongst those co-workers who wouldn't be caught dead walking into the office without a Starbucks cup in hand.

A super cute cafe mug for all those coffee and tea drinkers in your office.

A cute and stylish way to stay organized.

I love these paper gift sets , a great gift idea for that person in your office who is always taking notes.

Such a better option than those boring, standard office-issued rolodex files.

The perfect gift for that co-worker of yours who uses sticky notes for everything.  They are guaranteed not to find something this cute in the office supply cabinet! 

Spruce up someone's desk top with this super stylish pencil cup.

Who wouldn't love a more stylish mousepad.

I've always loved fabric pushpins , a great and functional gift idea for your fellow cubicle buddy.
