6 GILDED GIFTS TO GET YOURSELF!

Hi friends!

Today is all about YOU! Yup. Today is all about treating yo'self- today specifically with some gilded goodies.

Some of these gifts are just around $20- and I KNOW each and every one of you drop more than that on an average trip to Target...so no BS about "not having enough spare cash" mmmkay?

Here's what I've chosen for myself....er. YOU!

GIFT BOUTIQUE

Fortune Cookie Box: Sometimes the perfect gift to give yourself is one that can hold all the trinkets & treasures you've treated yourself to in the past. And have you ever seen one that's cuter than this cookie?

Gold Lipstick Mug: If you're more of a practical self-gift-giver like I am - this mug is not only useful, but cheeky and perfectly ladylike.

KATE SPADE

Devil is in the Details Notebook: Anyone else out there a Type-A list maker? If so, why not at least write to do lists in style?

C.WONDER

Chevron Round Box: Okay, so maybe you're not into the Fortune Cookie Box- then go for this one instead. Perfect to hold rings on your dresser or earrings on your bedside table!

Golden Chevron Glasses: While we're on a chevron kick here, let's talk about these glasses. If you have a barcart and are looking to add some shine to it- these are your best bet!

Gold Monogram or Animal Wine Stopper: Got glasses for your barcart? Then these wine/bottle stoppers might be just for you. Plus, if you REALLY love yourself, one's a monogram, so you can just stare at the first letter of your first (or last) name all day erryday.

-----

If you're still refusing to buy yourself something, then buy one of these and send it my way, okay?

I'll take those Chevron Glasses, please and thank you!

DIY HOLIDAY: GOLD JEWELRY DISHES

Here's the deal:

Everyone has those friends that you're not quite sure what to buy for them- because they have a great job and buy everything they need.

Most people also has those office Secret Santas that you're not quite sure what to buy for them- because they don't really share their likes other than post-it note color preference.

So, insert this DIY Holiday gift. 

Cost: Under $2. Insanely easy. Personalizeable. 

I give you: DIY Gold Jewelry Dishes!

Step 1: Find yourself some cheap ceramic trays! I found mine for $1 in the Target Dollar Spot- but I know Michael's has some options too!

Step 2: Do what's best for them- Spray them gold! It took me 3 light coats of this Krylon to get the look I was going for- but the shine is perfect!

Step 3: Paint it! I used basic black acrylic paint for this- making a polka dotted one, and a monogram one! For the monogram, simple stick on some vinyl or thin stickers, paint over them, wait to dry, and then peel them off! 

Step 4: Seal with Mod Podge, and gift away! 

Clearly you could paint these any colors, and personalize however you know the person would like... oh, and for under $2, you could make one of these for everyone on your list!

GOLDEN GIRL

Gold rings people. That's where it's all at. Period.

This is coming from a girl with unattractive fingers. No, but really. I don't have long, elegant, dainty fingers (piano player fingers as my music teacher called them). I have short, stubby fingers. And yet, I love me some rings nowadays. So you should too (stubby fingers or not):

1. This Kate Spade Anchor Ring is just perfectly nautical, no?

2.  I NEED this Initial Signet Ring in "L". It seems like something vintage my grandmother would have had. Love.

3. I already featured these Jules Smith Edie Thin Stacking Rings , but they're perfect enough to get a second mention.

4.  I can't think of a more simple, sweet ring than this Jacquie Aiche Diamond Waif Bezel Ring.

5. I own this Whistles Spade Charm Ring and can't say enough good things about it. Just google ring size to figure out what size you need. Cheap and gorgeous!

5. This Bing Bang Eternity Skull Ring is for you slightly edgy ladies out there...enjoy!

6. Again, ladylike and lovely: Jacquie Aiche Bezel Waif Ring

7. How 'come HOH always does it right? :House of Harlow 1960 Dipped Pave Ring 

8. This Tory Burch Striped Logo Ring almost has a funky retro vibe to it, and if TB isn't usually in your budget-- this affordable ring is a great way to have Tory without a huge price tag!

Which gold ring is on you wish list? 

That Initial Signet Ring...I...need....now...
