Many consider the holiday season their favorite part of the year – time with family, time off work, time for relaxation, a bit of indulgence, and (of course!) shopping. It’s not all laid back fun, though, as the holidays take a good amount of prep work, especially when it comes to the oft nerve-wracking process of gift giving. Not only do most of us, between family, friends, and coworkers, have a long list of people to shop for, but getting your hands on the right find for the right person can be quite a lengthy process (even if you’re not vying for the season’s latest Xbox game). Here are 5 great finds for all those particularly discerning aesthetes in your life.
1. Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Holiday Collection Collaboration with Jeff Koons
2. Halston Heritage Signature Lamé Maxi Dress in silver
3. Hare & Hart Leather Bombers
4. Bejeweled Holiday Snowflake Eye Shadow Compact by Marchesa in collaboration with Le Metier de Beaute
5. Hayden-Harnett’s Limited-Edition Fantasia-Inspired Handbag and Jewelry
Fantasia is a perennial family favorite and to celebrate the release of Fantasia & Fantasia 2000: 2-Movie Collection Special Edition on Blu-ray/DVD, Hayden-Harnett has created a limited edition capsule Fantasia-inspired handbag and jewelry collection. There’s plenty to love in the lineup of studded and ribbed pieces, but it’s the leather cuffs with their antique brass closures that stand out as true holiday must-haves.
