Chris' Top 3 Holiday Gift Ideas


With only 3 weeks left until Christmas, the pressure is on to find the perfect gifts for family and friends.  I work in a retail store that sells great gift items during the holiday season, so I thought I'd share my ideas, 3 great gifts for anyone young,old,male or female. Hope this helps with your shopping.



1.Personalized Items


Personalized gifts are great stocking stuffers. Who doesn't want something that is personal to them whether it's an initial charm, a nameplate necklace,zodiac sign, or even a monogrammed pillow. This gift will make anyone feel special, simple,but thoughtful.

Stella & Dot have very adult looking charm necklaces. You choose the base necklace that you want, and then add the charms of your choice. They are very chic. You can find them at www.stelladot.com/christinajovonn. Order by December 17 11am to receive by Christmas.



I like to think of myself as a wine connoisseur, and I would love a personalized hand painted wine glass. At only $16.49, these are a great deal. Or you can take the DIY route and paint a wine glass yourself, but these are so perfect, I would just buy it. Find them at www.sweetthoughtsboutique.com. Order by December 14 to receive by Christmas.

2. ipod/ipad cases

Who doesn't have an ipod or ipad these days?, besides me! There are so many fun cases that you can get for the techie in your life. This is a great functional gift that would definitely come in handy.

These felt cases are simple, but not boring. At only $12.99, you can get this for a company gift exchange. Find them at www.westelm.com or if you are in Columbus, visit the west elm store at Easton Town Center.

I like the creativity of this case, and you could definitely purchase this for your mom or dad. This case is a little more expensive than the one above, priced at $23.99, but worth it to have a customized item, and you're supporting a small business. Find this one at: www.etsy.com/shop/jiujiu.

3. Magazine subscription

This is a fun gift, because it's not just a one time thing. Every month you will be thought of when that special person opens their mailbox to see their favorite magazine. From Vogue to Forbes magazine, you can find something for all interests.



The fashionista in your life would love a subscription to Vogue or any other fashion magazine. For $19.99, you receive 12 monthly issues via print and tablet, not bad.



Keep your beau in style with a year long subscription to GQ, he will thank you for the sneak peeks of all the sexy models inside!

Hope this fun list helps with your holiday shopping. Happy Holidays!!!

Ciao,Chris!
