I love your little reading/relaxing idea- I think I’m going to give my stepmom that exact gift. She loves tea (being from Europe) and is a book whore. Perfect!!! Thanks Erin!
Great gift pics! I esp. love the ikat bowls and necklace.
I’m obsessed with the Stieg Larsson trilogy, too. Can’t wait for the third one to come out. We were in Stockholm in May, so it’s fun to read the names of places we’ve been. I would note that it is very graphic, so perhaps not a universally appropriate gift…
great ideas! thank you. [love that kelly wearstler pillow.]
Great list! I would be excited to give or receive any of these items!
Those chocolate mice are prettttty much the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Love the reading nook idea! Pearlriver.com has the Foo Dog Statues for $25.
would it be bad if i want to buy them all for myself?
Cute stuff! Thank you!
I’m in the process of reading Larsson’s book right now actually (it’s been making the rounds in my family)! So far, it’s great and I’m hoping to get his other two books for Christmas. :)
As always, love ALL selections.
I love the calenders–can you tell me where I can get them?
Cheers!
I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and loved it too! :) Love the Kiehl’s set. May have to add that to my own list!
Great gift guide Erin… I think we are long lost best friends because I LOVE everything on the list.
Let’s see… I own several pairs of Jojo blings (being a fellow Bostonian), some of those chocolate mice were given to me last year for Christmas, and I’ve been dying over the Ikat bowls (I think I’ll have to get myself an early gift this year!)
Where are the stockings from?
Thanks for mentioning that clutch! I was going to get one by Rachel By Rachel Roy. But this one might be even better.
Wow! Totally flattered by the mention – I’m a reader and a fan!

Glad to see you saw the gift guide for In Style this year.
Love all these ideas! Can you tell me where the bib necklace is from? Thanks!
Erin, where did you find those monogrammed mugs? I have literally been looking for something exactly like it to give as a little pressie for someone! Also, I dig your blog! Thanks you!
I love that embroidered clutch, and I just picked up a pair of party blings at JoJo’s website (jojolovesyou.com)! Thanks for the ideas!
