I have to admit, Valentine's day isn't my favorite of holidays (never has been), but it is one day of the whole year devoted to appreciating someone you love. Who doesn't like a reason to splurge on that special someone or even on yourself if you're single? I'll take any excuse to grab myself a pretty bracelet or a lacy piece of lingerie... May not go as far as sending myself flowers (that's a thing, really!), but I do like to do little things for the people I care about in my life, whether it be friends, family, or relatives.

The list above has a little something for everyone. The clutch, mask or candle would be a perfect gift for mom. I'd pick the little bralette or the OPI 50 shades set for a friend, and if you're really looking to splurge, the coordinates bracelet is the perfect gift for your wife, girlfriend, fiance, you name it! Coordinates Collection allows you to put the coordinates of anywhere in the world on a bracelet, ring, or necklace. It is, in my opinion, the absolute perfect personalized gift for a loved one. You can even get a man's version too if he's the jewelry wearing type. 

And if all else fails, there is always flowers, chocolate, cards, or a special date that you planned all on your own. If you're in NYC, check out Sosh for some great date ideas!

I didn't do one of these last year, a gift guide for the little ones, because the thought didn't even seem to cross my mind. Now, a full year later (really, not that much time), half the people I know either seem to be having children or are expecting. What is happening here!?! Anyway. Throughout my search while making this gift guide, I discovered the J.Crew pretty much tops every site with cutest baby and kids clothes. That reindeer onsie? I'm absolutely obsessed. The baby photos on the site are beyond cute also...

When I was younger, there were some staples I had, that I think every baby/child should have at some point in their life. Steiff stuffed animals have been around forever. I have quite the collection of their bears and such, and still have my favorite Steiff leopard from way back when. They are amazing quality, and something that any child will have forever - and pass on down to their children. Saks has a great assortment of them available. The Polar Express book is another one. It's a classic. Grab them the movie to go along with it while you're at it! As for clothing, I came home in the Patagonia fleece onsie (kind of like this one) from the hospital, so I'd highly recommend their baby and kids clothes. This little down sweater is just beyond cute - you could always do the mom/baby set and grab them both one! 

If you haven't already done so, make sure to enter this week's GIVEAWAY!!

Holiday Gift Guide: Investment Pieces for Him

Arcteryx Beta Jacket // Mark & Graham Monogrammed Cufflinks // L.L.Bean Bean Boots // Orvis Leather Gloves // GiGi New York Leather Duffle // Frame Denim Slim Fit Jeans // Barbour Sapper Jacket (on sale here!) // Ray Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses // JW Hulme Slim Briefcase (on sale!!!) // Tod's Gommino Driving Shoes // Wallace & Barnes Belt // J.Crew Italian Cashmere Sweater

This one may look a bit familiar to last week's post. It's pretty much the men's version! Yes, a lot of the items are similar - I think closet staples for men and women are pretty much the same across the board, with a few minor variations of course.  Take this one with a grain of salt though; a lot of the things on the list were inspired by my father and his classic and active lifestyle. Although, I do think that they are all great picks for any man (worth investing in of course)! 

The leather duffle is exactly the same as the one I posted on the women's list - his and hers versions, just different colors. Why not, right!? That Arcteryx jacket is absolutely amazing too. I have the women's version, and I use it as a shell when skiing, as a rain jacket in the city, or as just a basic windbreaker. Arcteryx makes their jackets incredibly well; they are very durable and extremely waterproof. Yes, they're an investment, but they are so worth it. As for the Barbour jacket, it serves a different purpose for sure, but my dad has the one above and he swears that it is his absolute favorite casual jacket.

Most of the other things are just staples that I think every man needs in his closet: leather gloves, dark denim (you can wear jeans everywhere these days, so you should probably have a fancier pair), leather driving mocs, classic wayfarer sunglasses and a belt of course. That leather briefcase though, is definitely a big investment piece. The good news? This one is almost 50% off right now!!! JW Hulme makes the most gorgeous leather goods. They have a variety of different briefcases to choose from, as well as a leather weekender duffle that I'm also obsessed with, but it is just a bit more expensive than the one I chose above... But really, how gorgeous is the leather!? If you're in the market for these type of pieces, GHURKA also makes some gorgeous leather goods for both men and women.
