Gift Guide, Part 7
If the stylish people in your life have been extra good this year, here are some pieces that I think are both stylish and timeless...
Brought back to life by a brief J.Crew campaign, Dulken & Derrick's fabric flowers are a lovely way to embellish a cardigan, cocktail dress, or even a headband. There are colors and styles for every taste, ranging in price from $25 to $375.
Unique gifts - things that no one else has - are so special, and often require more effort and thought than stopping by the mall. A vintage watch, in any number of styles and prices, for your favorite guy or girl is one of those unique, thoughtful gifts. A custom dress shirt is another (and a great idea for groomsmen), starting at $110 from Alexander West and $60 from 9tailors. Also, Snippet & Ink reader, Karen, shared Bonobos trousers with me. Starting at $110, I could see giving them to your favorite guy, or even having your groomsmen wear them.
As a kid, I remember giving my dad a tie or suspenders for every holiday, birthday, gift-giving occasion. Here are some that would definitely have made it into my shopping basket: vintage-style ties from Barneys for $125 (also seen on the eternally cool East Side Bride), cotton shirting ties from Steven Alan on sale for $29, and these necklaces made of old neckties for $20 (maybe not for my dad, but my sister would love it!).
Of all the things I'm coveting this year, these sunglasses by Nom de Guerre x Oliver Peoples are at the top of the list. Maybe it's because they're pricey ($325), or because I can't find them anywhere (leads are much appreciated). Really, though, I think it's because of the classic, somewhat masculine look that I'm not sure I'm cool enough to pull off. In a pinch, these Ray-Ban Wayfarers might suffice.
What are you coveting this year? Share with the group and get it off your chest! And be sure to stop by later for more gift ideas.
