A week’s worth of giving: Treat Thineself
Hi y’all! I’m sure you’re deep in the throes of holiday by now- the wrapping, card-writing, line waiting thrill of it all. And that’s what we’re gonna talk about today. If you’re anything like, uh, everyone I know, you’re probably feeling a little stressed right now. Or a lot. And hey, that’s okay, but it’s also kinda not. If you’re spending all day every day thinking about everyone on your “nice” list, you’re probably not paying any attention to yourself. I’ve been hearing it a lot lately, in the stores: “But I’m supposed to be shopping for other people! ARGH!” Hey, so yeah, totally. But here’s the thing: most of us don’t shop this much the whole year combined. You’re bound to see something yummy that you want, and probably something that wasn’t on your Christmas list, so who’s gonna know to get it for you? Santa?? Nope, you gotta treat yo’self (and if you’re not watching Parks and Rec, consider it my gift to you.) Here’s a few gifts just for you, all under $100. Because Santa is way too busy, and you deserve a lil’ somethin’.
Treat yo’self
Clockwise from top left: lip balm (all kinds of flavors,) Jack Black, $9 @ Manifesto; printed socks, Sweet Marcel, $17 and $22 @both stores; leather chevron earrings, Maya Moon (local!) $32 @ Manifesto; hand-printed scarves (this one has unicorns all over it!) Snoozer Loser, $42 @ both stores; “Sunshine” loafers, Jeffrey Campbell, $99 @ Manifesto.
Also good gifts for: seriously, what did I just say? These are for YOU!
Fun idea: treat yo’self and don’t feel guilty. If you start to feel guilty, drink a hot toddy. Lather, rinse, repeat.
So happy holidays and a merry whatever from The Shoe Crew! Try not to stress out too much!
xoxo,
Sally
A week’s worth of giving: you and your boo
Welcome back, guys! We’re almost done with our last minute, way-too-specific holiday gift guide! Today, we’re talking ‘bout your boo. Your partner, significant other, ball n’ chain, what have you. Or, way-too-specifically, your hipster boo. The person who makes you really good mix tapes, shares their skinny jeans and cardigans with you, and goes to shows to not dance with you. Here’s a few things your boo might not have heard about yet that he or she might like.
Your hipster boo
Clockwise from top: toiletries, Jack Black, prices vary @ Manifesto; “Freedy” fedora, Goorin Bros., $54 @ Manifesto; “Winslow” boot, Tsubo, $225 @ Manifesto.
Also good gifts for: your hipster roommate, your hipster coworker.
Fun idea: stick a fun mix in with the gift, and maybe a Polaroid of the two of you together.
Stay tuned for more fun gift ideas!
xoxo,
Sally
