Anything that lets her take a break and not have to “perform” (no brunches with family for me, thanks). Alas, if you want to get her a little token of appreciation, that’s great too! Some quick ideas from all price points below – linked HERE.

We added a few great items from Gates & Co. too!

Gift Guides 2025: For Him https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-him/ https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-him/#comments Mon, 24 Nov 2025 17:46:58 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55643 Always a tough one, unless your husband/brother/father has a hobby you can zero in on, so I tend to include a wide swath of gift ideas. From birdwatcher to blowtorch, you could say. Some call outs (including Andrew’s picks) after the collage. Click image for the link to the guide, updated often!

Criquet is still an all time Andrew fave- he wants both of these- the cord shacket and cozy button down.

His new favorite item are these Birddogs zip necks.

In the clothing department- Relwen is another all time fave. SO many good pieces (more linked on ShopMy). My brothers like them too.

If you are like me and give your husband the job of breaking down all the boxes in the household, this electric box cutter is a nice offering :)

For the skiier or outdoorsman, this heated vest is such a good gift.

The Peleton Tread is the best gym equipment we’ve ever bought.

Quince has really great men’s boots and shoes right now for great prices! (Also these Blundstone boots are awesome for all weather needs but still stylish)

Andrew wants the new Apple Airpods that translate.

These are our favorite luggage pieces right now for work travel- SO light.

This leaf blower looks like a weapon, but it’s cordless and pretty cool!

Gift Guides 2025: For Her https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-her/ https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-her/#comments Thu, 20 Nov 2025 16:23:11 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55636 Today is FOR HER (perhaps for you as well?) A big range of price points here, with a little something for just about everyone, I hope. You can shop all these links (and more) right HERE! See below for some call out on my favorites!

OF NOTE:

Last year my best surprise gift from Andrew was a night away alone in a hotel room at the Mandarin Oriental with a long massage. I cried I was so relieved to have time to myself to rest – it was truly the only thing I wanted. This year they added a special Celadon Stone Massage in a gorgeous newly designed treatment room if you want to drop the hint to someone…. :)

I think a lot of women would love the gift of time – even if it doesn’t involve a hotel room – someone offering to take the kids for the day and leave you alone in your house?! Sounds pretty dreamy right? Not everything has to be a material item – time, space and rest really are luxuries.

Gift Guides 2025: For Kids, Tweens & Teens https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-kids-tweens-teens/ https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-kids-tweens-teens/#comments Mon, 17 Nov 2025 21:06:45 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55629 Probably the biggest guide I do is this one- kids, tweens and teens! Again, this is being updated almost daily on ShopMy so follow along there for all links and new, of the minute picks (as we know kids change and add to their wishlists up to the last minute!) My kids actually don’t have any big gift wishes this year (that are realistic – sorry, Henry you are NOT getting a motorcycle).

The very best gift we got Henry last year he still uses almost daily is this Razor Crazy Cart. All his friends love it when they come over and it was the best $250 we spent. There is a new light up version that I’m sure would be a HUGE hit too (but selling FAST).

For Emma, my home made-over Barbie house is only slightly a hit. She said she wants the “real plastic one” now (groan). This one is Barbie scale and much cuter, but MUCH pricier. Although she is now wanting all American Girl doll stuff (of course not the original, classic dolls like Samantha, but the new Gen Z nonsense ones- LOL) so this dollhouse would be better but the sheer SIZE of it is insane. But it’s actually done really well.

Speaking of dollhouses I almost DIED when I came across this one. But OH MAMA, almost 2 grand is insanity. But I kind of want it for me. :)

Ok, anyways, back to the gift guide. Here it is, I’m scared of teens so I took some guesses but don’t count my word as bond there. 5-10 year olds I can handle well, though!

SHOP ALL LINKS HERE!!!!

**And again, please let me know if this format is good for you! I can go back to linking individually but much more labor intensive and hard to keep up to date!

Gift Guides 2025: FOR HOME https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-home/ https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2025-for-home/#comments Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:21:40 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55622 Happy gift guide season, everyone! I’m doing things a little different this year by keeping all my suggested gifts in one shop link so that I can update it as I find more gifts as the season moves forward! So everything below can be found HERE, and check back as I will update it weekly with new ideas! Let me know if you like this format and concept, or if you prefer individual image links.

From the fanciest mahjong set to the coziest washable throw that still looks chic – we’ve got a little for everyone here. Happy shopping!

Father’s Day Gift Guide https://elementsofstyleblog.com/fathers-day-gift-guide-6/ Wed, 28 May 2025 19:16:20 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55368 Is time not FLYING this spring? I cannot believe we are weeks away from kids being out of school and therefore, Father’s Day. A little round up of items that Andrew loves, I like and we as a team think are pretty great gifts for the guys in your life.

Not linked in image: Hermes Apple Watch band // Function Health testing // Blanton’s bourbon

Of note:

  • It would not be a Father’s Day post without a link to Criquet shirts, Andrew’s absolute ride or die (and I know MANY men agree with him!)
  • I think these little paint your own trophies are so cute for the kids to do for their dad!
  • Andrew just did the Function Health lab tests and it’s very thorough and helped him discover not only his biological age of a decade younger than he is (!), but also elevated markers for heart disease he did not know about and now can address. Health is our biggest asset, so this would be a nice gift for someone you love.
  • We’ve done two custom shuffleboard tables for clients lately, and this one is not nearly as pricey but still good looking (I also have come to love shuffleboard!)
  • Blanton’s is not only a VERY nice bottle of bourbon but I love the bottle for display too :)
  • A new leafblower or powerwasher- of course.
  • For the cook, a smart meat thermometer or super sleek chef’s knife.
  • Also Andrew’s favorites – Vuori workout shorts and Jack Black face products.
  • We got these Quince suitcases and they are fantastic – and so much less than identical models.

Gift Guides 2024: For Her https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2024-for-her/ Wed, 27 Nov 2024 14:55:29 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55192 This is a tricky one! There are SO many things I love, and yet which make good gifts?? So I tried to be thoughtful about it in that way – for example, pairing some cute coupes with a dressed up bottle of bubbly, or a cozy (and affordable) cashmere sweatsuit with a Kindle holder and remote for the reader who wants to keep her arms under a warm blanket while reading! Click on images for links, except the following:

*subscription to Frederic magazine (for the design enthusiast) // my new shield charm (for a charm bracelet or on a chain- engrave an initial!) // my Athena bracelet

Gift Guide Extra: Bombas Slippers & Socks https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guide-extra-bombas-slippers-socks/ https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guide-extra-bombas-slippers-socks/#comments Sat, 23 Nov 2024 19:37:13 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55173 I’ve never been a slipper girl, but ever since getting Beans, our new puppy, they have become a necessity as I have to take her out multiple times at night and in the morning and cannot go barefoot. Enter my new Bombas slip on sherpa slippers (which Beans also tries to steal and eat too- luckily Bombas has a Happiness Guarantee and will make even that right, believe it or not!)

I also have swapped almost all my socks for Bombas styles– running, casual no show for sneakers and some tall ones for boots. At this age, good socks thrill me. :)

Henry and Emma LOVE slippers, so I got them both some new slip on bootie knit versions they love (with the “grippy” bottoms so Emma can dance her pants off and not slip). Henry, my sweet old soul, also MUST wear socks to bed- he calls them “sleeping socks”- and they must be low calf/ ankle height and form fitting. So these fit the bill perfectly. I also cannot keep up with if the cool kids are wearing socks that are high or low these days, but Henry is still in his high calf striped socks phase and I adore these for him.

And good news, right now Bombas is 20% off!So here are my gift picks for Bombas this season-where they give back for every pair you buy, which I think is especially important this year. Click images for links.

Gift Guides 2024: For Him https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2024-for-him/ https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2024-for-him/#comments Fri, 22 Nov 2024 15:25:58 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55170 Guys are typically either really easy (maybe they have a hobby they go all in on) or really hard (they just buy themselves what they want year-round) to buy for, but I think I found some great ideas this year! I mean, all my male clients want a smart toilet…! Of course, any genius ideas of your own for gifts are always welcome in comments too!

Gift Guides 2024: For Home https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2024-for-home/ https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2024-for-home/#comments Mon, 18 Nov 2024 20:06:09 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55159 This category is hard because I could go on FOREVER. Of course I could suggest my own books, and go buck wild with crazy expensive stuff, but I don’t think that’s what most of you are here for (if it is, there will be an investment buys gift guide coming up!)… So, here are some great finds, most under $250, for the home. I always love a good pairing, like cocktail glasses with a fun mixer, mugs with some nice coffee or tea, or monogrammed napkins and napkin rings – all of those always a winner and great for a housewarming gift as well if you are traveling for the holidays and want to bring something.

Also, we have a couple great things left in our holiday shop – original art, the perfect vases for everyday and cute napkins (we are trying to get more holiday candles – yet again they went FAST).

Finally, if you are in town this Thursday and curious about working with Framebridge (my favorite easy to use framing source) they are opening a store in Wellesley and I am hosting a little cocktail reception from 5:30-8! They have GREAT options for gifts of framed pictures – always a hit with the grandparents!

This little ornament is such a good gift for under $30!

Gift Guides 2024: For Kids & Teens https://elementsofstyleblog.com/gift-guides-2024-for-kids-teens/ Tue, 12 Nov 2024 17:28:41 +0000 https://elementsofstyleblog.com/?p=55151 Kicking off this year’s holiday gift guides with kids and teens. These are a mix of things my kids love or have asked for, and polling of kids we know. All images are linked except the electric guitar (that Henry asked for!), which is linked here.

Lots of good discounts and sales coming out really early this year so I’m trying to get a head start!
