Christmas Gift Guide {For Her}

With Christmas fast approaching, I thought I’d offer up a few ideas for the men who are stuck on what to get their ladies. Ladies, if someone else makes the list, it’s easier to share it as a gentle suggestion that someone else thinks they should consider, right? Yup. I’ve got your back.

So here’s my thinking: Romance, glitter, comfort, champagne, soft skin, ambiance + a really great handbag. Gentlemen, I think this may in fact be the recipe for winning hearts.

Christmas Market | ABC Carpet + Home | 1st Floor | NYC

Every time I’m in New York City I do my best to get to ABC Carpet + Home. The iconic home furnishings purveyor always manages to wow me with their windows, displays and offerings, and this visit was no exception. In fact, I felt like I had stumbled upon an international Christmas market with my first glimpse at their inspired winter windows!

Once inside, their ever-changing bazaar of products is truly a feast for the senses, and ABC knows how to do Christmas with an exotic and eclectic flair.

For all my New York friends who are searching for incredible ornaments or unique, international, organic or handcrafted hostess gifts this season, you will want to make ABC a destination on your shopping adventures.

These gorgeous wooden tea utensils would make a thoughtful and lovely hostess gift paired with your favourite tin of tea and some good Manuka honey.

I fell head-over-heels for the organic shapes and subtleties of the porcelain dinnerware from Jan Burtz. The gilded finish on some of the fluttered-edge bowls and plates are decadently simple and such a refined take on rustic. I also love the way they have been layered with vintage china for a truly unique table setting.

Given my addiction to wood in all it’s forms, I was truly in my glory with this lovely corner of their First Floor.

These large, live-edged salad bowls had me drooling and are very much on my wish list for this {or any!} Christmas.

With all these photos, I’ve truly only given you a tiny taste of the veritable feast for the senses that awaits at ABC. And this is just the First Floor!! Can’t wait to share more from them with you soon.

Wishing you a happy and productive Wednesday!
