Gift Guide No. 05: Splurge
Imagine this: it’s a perfectly picturesque and snowy (well, maybe not here, but a gal can dream) Christmas day, and your special someone takes a peek out of their frosted windows to see a brand-new car with a big bow on top cruising into their driveway. The sheer excitement and surprise on their face cannot be beat! And, while we don’t have any cars featured, we have some spectacular (and even life-changing) finds from our local boutiques, that will help you elicit that same over-the-top reaction. Don’t forget to check out our other guides – Thoughtful and Economical, For Her, For Littles (and not so littles), and For Him.
