Holiday Shopping Made Easy
Given that Christmas will be here soon…61 days to be exact, it’s not to early to start thinking about a little holiday shopping! Today, you’ll find the ultimate gift guide for very special people on your shopping list! I would personally love to receive any of these items (hint hint) as they are all luxurious and useful! However, I realize that the price point on some items is a bit high, so I’ve also included options for similar items below each item’s description as well as a boutique at the end of the post! Make your list and check it twice and start early so you can relax and enjoy the season! Also, check out my Holiday Shop on the blog where you’ll find categories with great gift giving ideas for everyone on your list (coming on Sunday)!

These are beautifully scented products - packaged in an elegant minimalistic way! They make amazing gifts for anyone on your list! Aesop products range from skincare to candles to essential oils! If you haven’t tried Aesop…I highly recommend!
Hotel Lobby Paris Nuit Candle
Inspired by Parisian Nightlife!

I found Hotel Lobby candles on Instagram and loved the aesthetic so much that I quickly ordered the Paris Nuit to try! It is a beautiful fresh scent and when it’s lit, I can picture myself in the lobby of the Four Seasons in Paris!
I’ve purchased many candles from hotels because the lobby smelled so good…the Thompson Hotel in Nashville has a delicious candle and my latest hotel lobby candle purchase was at the Grand Bohemian in Birmingham! What an amazing idea to create a company around this idea!
