For Men - Gift Ideas for the Women in Your Life at a Cost of $150 or Less
::I am very selective, some would say extremely picky, and thus, the gift selection that you see in this post is guaranteed to please any woman between the ages of 20 and 60. And if it doesn't.....well, don't blame me, I am choosy, not psychic. ;) Oh, and by the way, click on any image to enlarge.
:: No. 1 is a gorgeous, white hydrangea and magnolia cuff, embroidered with a charming mix of beads and thread, from Etsy seller, WaterRose. At $128, it's a steal, and a work of art, a future heirloom, and it promises to please your lady. Absolutely gorgeous.
:: No. 2 is a luxurious, silk and cashmere Pashmina scarf, in your choice of colors, currently on sale for $51 at Bloomingdale's online. Chic, functional, luxurious.
:: No. 3 is a luxurious, lined leather key pouch with nickel hardware by Marc Jacobs.The interior is fitted with a key ring/fob, and the pouch is also available in brown and black. Bloomingdale's online. Très chic, and functional.
:: No. 4 is a beautiful silk scarf from Belisi. Literally a choice of hundreds of prints and solids, in high-end silk with hand-rolled borders, all at fabulous prices. The scarf on the left is $25, and the scarf on the right is $32 Two of my fave's below.
:: No. 5 is a pair of black calf leather boots by Kenneth Cole. Great shape and heel height to wear with trousers or jeans, and on sale for $99.97 (they were $250!). Gotta luv a man who buys you a great pair of shoes or boots!
:: No. 6 is a lucite necklace or a lucite bangle by Alexis Bittar. The lucite glows with a sort of luminescence, and I love the soft look of the gold. The necklace is $135 and the bangles are $75 each. Available at Nordstrom online.Très trendy.
:: No. 7 is a fine silver and vintage photo hand-crafted bracelet by Etsy seller, Stacie Jewelry. A beautiful and unusual piece, destined to become an heirloom, and very nicely priced at $115.
:: No.8 is a fragrance set, 'Love' by Ralph Lauren. Like a poem in a bottle, roses, magnolia, and amber blend to create a beautiful fragrance that will delight you as much as it will please her. The set is available only at Neiman Marcus, and is priced at exactly $150.

Ohhhh...I was just blog surfing and since you are on my "must read" list...I had to blink twice to make sure where I was and why I was seeing my hydrangea cuff. Thank you...what lovely things you wrote and I appreciate that you included me on your blog. Happy Thanksgiving!

Great picks, love WaterRose's cuff, she is a wonderful artist, the interesting and unique bracelets by Stacie Jewelry are incredible...the only one I don't agree with for me is the fragrance set...and only because I have allergies and don't wear fragrance!!! I'm sure it is a lovely scent though..
Cheers
