GIFT GUIDE: For the Gallery Wall

Ok, I know we're only 5 days away now, but if you're anything like me, you're still hurrying in and out of shops and scouring the web for last minute deals and express shipping on the perfect gift. And needless to say, I am a firm believer in giving the gift or art. It is something that people don't often let themselves spend money on because it is not 'practical' for every day, but I beg to differ. For me, art feeds the soul...

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

Not only are each of these lovely works totally affordable, but don't forget, The Daylight readers are being offered an exclusive discount on the first print from Ditty Drops. [ just enter THEDAYLIGHT15 at checkout ]  And for more great print ideas check out Strataflora's wonderful gift guide right here. Good luck on your last minute holiday shopping everyone and let's all spread copious amounts of yuletide joy!

Coco+Kelley GIFT GUIDE: For the Creative

Hello! In case any of you missed it, I put together a holiday Gift Guide for the creative earlier this week on Coco+Kelley in honor of my new series Curate Your Space. And let's be honest, I'd love any one of these gorgeous pieces to land under my tree this year...

watch / necklace / ipad case / skirt /  mug / business card holder / book /  / throw / camera / pillow /  paper weight / Soap 

Cheers to an inspired Holiday season everyone...Enjoy!

GIFT GUIDE // For the Rock Collector

As you may have noticed, I'm a bit of a rock-lover. I have a serious weakness for anything made with agates. Add gold into the mix and I just don't stand a chance. So, to all of my fellow rock collectors[that's you, Amy!] this one's for you...

cuff / butter knives / amethyst soap / quartz votive / finial toppers / bookends / ring / necklace 

I would be over the moon to find any of these in my stocking this year but to be honest the things on the top of my wish list won't fit in a stocking, like extra time with my favorite people over wine and peppermint cookies...Enjoy!

GIFT GUIDE// For the boys

Well seeing as the first of December is less than a day away, I think I better start my Christmas shopping before it's the 24th and I'm wondering where all the time went. So I'm starting with my man because I don't know about you guys, but I always have the hardest time gifting the ones closest to me. Though I know the homemade sentimental gifts are the ones that really matter, it's always fun to give extra goodies that they don't necessarily need...

iphone dock / ipad case / blocks / watch / shoes / wallet / bookman / hat / headphones / headphone amplifier / pine soap / jacket

Ok, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't happily borrow any of these items for myself too, but I know my man will be happy with any accessory made out of wood or garnished with a touch of Pendleton flaire. And let's be honest, what man doesn't feel a little manlier with the scent of fresh pine? Enjoy! 

p.s. have you entered the giveaway yet? It could be the perfect gift for the gold and feather loving friend in your life [hint, hint]

Eco Gift Guide for Coco+Kelley

Okay so we are officially only 4 days til Christmas, so most of you have probably been much more on top of things than I have and have all your Christmas shopping done, but in case you don't, just thought I'd share this Eco-friendly Gift Guide I put together for Coco+Kelley. I am so excited and honored to be contributing to the amazing design blog in the New Year with posts on Eco-friendly products and resources and continuing her 'Kelley Green' column! She asked me to put together a Gift Guide in the mean time and I thought I'd share it with all of you just in case you missed it on Coco+Kelley last week. She's been posting fabulous gift guides all week so definitely head over there to check them out as well!
