Before we reveal our Winter Must Haves and Holiday Gift Guide, we want to share some ideas from another awesome event hosted by Momtrends. Each year Nicole and Sherri host an event to get NYC bloggers in the holiday spirit and we have the chance to learn about some great holiday trends and ideas. This year was no different as we had the chance to see some new holiday items as well as see some old favorites.
First up, the event was hosted at the Stella & Dot showroom. We were able to check out some of their gorgeous accessories- perfect for gifts and available at all price points. Then we were put into the holiday spirit with a tablescape decorated by Teleflora– who offers beautiful bouquets for all occasions.
Gift Ideas:
For some cute gift ideas, we were introduced to folks from Little Me- a clothing line for little ones. Everything from adorable Christmas pjs to cute outfits, it’s a perfect gift idea for those new babies on your gift list.
Another great gift idea for kids come from I See Me– personalized books for children. These are great custom gifts that both child and their parents will love!
Holiday Fun:
Holidays are also about taking time out spend with family and friends. Two great ideas of some fun decorating time are from Duck and Walkers. We all know Duck tape- but have you seen all of the cool designs they offer now? Kids these days are creating some pretty awesome objects made from duck tape- from wallets to stockings! Sit down and create some Christmas decor or even some homemade gifts from the little ones. Also, Walkers shortbread cookies are a classic around the holidays, but have you thought about decorating them with the little ones? For those who want to skip the step of baking your own, or just want to focus on the fun part- grab some icing and Walker’s fun holiday shapes and enjoy a night of cookie decorating.
Fashion and Beauty:
Lands End winter options are classic winter looks that will last for years to come. From stylish outwear to keeping cozy in your winter pjs, there are some great winter must haves and gift ideas available.
For those looking for skin care products to gift, Nicole swears by Apothoderm. With our usual rough NYC winters ahead of us, it’s important to take care of your skin- and offering the gift of skincare to someone else is always a great gesture as well.
We also learned about PRIV, a new app that brings beauty services to you. Right now it’s only in Manhattan and Los Angeles, but you can stay updated as new cities are added.
Goodies:
Can’t forget the sweets! With some delicious chocolate options from Vermont Nut Free Chocolates and your new go to hot beverage from Peanut Hottie, you’re all set for late night cuddle sessions with your blanket and holiday movies on Netflix. In case you haven’t discovered them yet, Vermont Nut Free Chocolates offer lots of nut free sweets options-perfect for holiday parties, gifts, or yourself. For those looking to try something different from your usual cup of hot cocoa- try Peanut Hottie, a peanut butter flavor hot drink.
