2014 Holiday Gift Guides

2014 Holiday Gift Guides: Besties, Sisters, Moms, Wives

Besties and sisters are the easiest to shop for because they’re just like you, right? My sister Sofia is notoriously difficult to shop for, but I think some of these ideas will be enjoyed by her as well! Here’s hoping!

Because who doesn’t want a vintage brass pineapple?

I have wanted a wishbone pendant FOREVER and a couple of weeks ago, Sumit surprised me with one for an anniversary! I love it so much. There are a ton of them available in every price range, in different sizes and slightly different shapes – from Barney’s to Etsy. Mine is pretty small, rose gold and quite dainty. I think the shape is important.

I just saw these gold tattoos on A Cup of Jo and had to order some for me (and friends) immediately. Seriously – how fantastic are they!?

These cool prism air plant hangings would suit any home.

My sister got me these a couple of years ago and it felt like such a luxurious gift, full of the promise of many long baths to come. I’m still enjoying them.

A soft cashmere beanie to keep her warm this winter. I think everyone deserves a little cashmere at Christmas.

I love Oprah and O Magazine and I could use a little wisdom and inspiration right now!

I love the idea of wearing all my babies’ initials around my neck, and I think my bestie would too. There are so many pretty options on Etsy.

This kit looks like a fun way to get into knitting, if you’ve every had the urge!

I totally want this pasta roller attachment for my kitchen aid! Wouldn’t it be a fun way to spend an evening making dinner with your best girls?

This Tiffany’s ring is gorgeous, but there are lots of more affordable, but equally pretty options available on Etsy. Love a simple bow ring. And earrings!!

I saw this marble cutting board at Granit yesterday and just barely made it out of there without buying. Still thinking about it. Will probably go back today.

You can never go wrong with opulent red nail polish for the holidays – what a great stocking stuffer!

These note cards are so pretty, who wouldn’t want to write their thank you notes on these?

Also, the rest of the 2014 Holiday Gift Guides and more great gift ideas for women!

  1. Ok I love pretty much everything on this list so feel free to buy & give this year 😉 xo from the difficult sister

  2. Gold tattoos? Seriously! These are the ONLY tattoo I’ve ever wanted. They are beyond fantastic. And… that cutting board: I’ve picked it up and coveted it repeatedly recently. Love it! Great list!

    • I have to go get that cutting board – I can’t stop thinking about it! And I so love the idea of tattoos that aren’t forever! Can’t wait to try them!

  • We're back home and really just spending time at home, catching up in the garden and in the house, trying to cross things off a list that has had to wait during the busy busy school year. I'd so love to have a cleaner, clearer, un-cluttered home by back-to-school...
  • Buon giorno Costa Smeralda! #lastdayinparadise #dontwannaleave #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Today was just one of those perfect days. The kind we'll look back on in the dead of the dark Swedish winter ahead. The kind making us teary with gratitude for a holiday like this in our favourite place on earth. Perfection. From the first dip and the kids' swimming lessons in the pool this morning to a looong lovely afternoon at our favourite beach, dinner at the pizzeria on our way home, and a skinny dip in the dark after the kids were down. 👌🏼 #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • This little crew tho! We had them close together (40 months between Alec and Léonie) and it has been pretty intense at times with three small kids to take care of. But it's getting easier all the time, and the joy they have in eachother is such a gift and makes all the hard times worth it. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Swimming lessons in paradise. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Swimming lessons in the foreground and fishing in the background. We're spending the morning by the pool. Poor Louis can only spend a couple of minutes in the water at a go before he starts shivering and shaking (because too thin) so he's in and out all day. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Afternoon water fights... #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Popsicle break. I was out with a headache most of today so Sumit and the kids spent the day at home by the pool practicing their swimming. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Alec & Sumit. Out for a swim. #malhotrasinsardegna2017
  • Burgers and fries and a toast to 🇺🇸 this evening, since our Alec is actually kind of American. And then this amazing peachy sunset. It's so still, there's a sailboat just gliding by, and by Pevero below, a couple of jet-skis are weaving through the yachts. Enormous Dilbar (the world's largest privately owned yacht) is still anchored there, making all the other (actually massive) yachts look teeny. #malhotrasinsardegna2017 #dilbar
