Holiday Web Shopping

I know I may be jumping the gun, and maybe I have become one of those embarrassingly silly people who start their Christmas shopping early… but as my schedule has gone from hectic, to busy to mach 1, I had to stop dragging and find a way to get all of the holiday shopping and card writing stresses done so that I can actually enjoy my favorite parts of the season including cookie making, pot lucks, cocktails and old movie watching parties. Don’t get me wrong I have always loved thoughtfully picking out the perfect gift for someone to enjoy or dropping a handwritten card in the mail to say 200 of my closest friends. But over the last few years I have come to realize that a little short cut here and there can relieve some of the anxiety of checking off that to-do list. So I wanted to share some of what I think are the most fun gift giving sites on the web for those fashionable friends and family members.

Creaturesofcomfort.us stocks a gaggle of fresh designer duds such as Rachel Comey. The photos are easy to peruse with a variety of angles to get the full view so you can choose little dresses, blouses and jeans with confidence.

If you have ever attempted to navigate the overwhelming etsy.com only to give in to the crazy crafty world that lies beyond, try ao3designs.etsy.com There you can find the most adorable clutches and handbags perfect for your sister or BFF.

If you are on the hunt for super cute jewelry- as- art pieces that any fashionista friend would swoon over try twistonline.com. Though the roster includes some pricier brands you are sure to also find fun lines like Me&Ro.

If you are a retro kind of gal try vintagevixen.com and you can still have a bit of fun finding one of a kind pieces while watching your wallet. I adore the amusing categories that help pinpoint your choices… are you a Grace Kelly or Joan Jett?

If you are a fragrance-phile try luckyscent.com. The pair behind the boutique and site are constantly combing the globe for innovative aromas. They stock over 300 brands and more than one thousand fragrances plus you can order samples to be sure that the scent you pick is perfect for you…or uh hem… your giftee..

And for those jet setters on the list try flight001.com they carry some of my favorite amenity kits, luggage tags, travel bags and in flight comforts.
