It’s that time of year again!! I just love the holidays and all the festivities leading up to them. There’s is just so much fun and excitement. But along with that comes all the lists of people you need to get a gift for. And it sometimes can be overwhelming when you don’t know what to get or someone won’t give you any ideas. So I’ve created my 2018 Holiday Gift Guide to help with some inspiration. Hover over each item and you can directly click for details or everything is listed below each gift guide. Enjoy!

These are all items that I love to gift to others. They cover a range of price points so you have options for anyone you are buying for.
1. Rebecca Minkoff Envelope Clutch
