Accessories Holiday Gift Guide 2025

Kendra Scott Davie Sunglasses

In case you are still wondering what to gift your loved ones or yourself this holiday season, here are my top accessory picks!

Kendra Scott eyewear by Marchon Eyewear. Kendra Scott's new sunglasses would pair nicely with a pair of earrings, a ring or necklace to match. I especially love the Davie and Korinne navigator silhouettes. The Davie sunglasses feature the iconic Davie stone detailing, while the Korinne sunglasses showcase the Elisa link-and-chain style jewelry. 

Zarah Juan PUJ Micro Bag

Filipino handbag brand Zarah Juan has a fun and quirky style to their handbags, with one of my favorites being the PUJ Micro Bag, inspired by the iconic Philippine jeepney. This bag is handcrafted by Cavite artisans in a variety of color options. 

There are so many other Zara Juan bags that have caught my eye including the Aklat Mini Bag made of hand-carved wood for the book lover, Boombox Bag or Silang Pineapple Bag.


Blue Francis Cross Twinkle Necklace

Blue Francis is known for their children's jewelry, but honestly it can be jewelry for any age. I love the concept of keepsake jewelry and how this can even be passed down from generation to generation. It makes such a nice gift and the pieces are great for layering together. My favorite piece is the Cross Twinkle Necklace with cubic zirconia stones. 


Emily in Paris Glass Stone & Cubic Zirconia Gold-Tone Pave Box Ring

If you are a fan of the hit show Emily in Paris, you are going to want some of the jewelry pieces from the Emily in Pars collection by The Jewelry Group, available at Macy's. My favorites are the Glass Stone & Cubic Zirconia Gold-Tone Pave Box Ring and Glass Pearl, Glass Stone & Cubic Zirconia Gold-Tone Loop Ring.


Hammitt Syd Pouch

Hammitt has great gifts under $100 including the Syd Pouch, and pairs perfectly with the Kyle Med bag. This pouch is so compact you can easily just drop it into your coat pocket or clutch bag. I love how soft and slouchy the Kyle Med bag is in a classic black pebble leather.

A Practical Gift for the Holidays: Charmin Forever Roll


Now here's a practical gift that everyone can use: The Charmin Forever Roll! This is also the perfect gift for myself since I only use Charmin toilet paper! I don't have a lot of home storage space so I prefer to buy a four or six pack of toilet paper every other week. 


Since I've had the Charmin Forever Roll, I haven't had to worry about running out of toilet paper! Not only that, but the Charmin individual rolls don't even fit in the in-wall toilet paper holder, so I literally usually have to wait until the roll thins out in order to make it fit. I honestly don't think I can ever go back to buying regular toilet paper rolls as the Forever Roll has solved all these problems for me!


The starter kit includes two Forever Rolls and a premium brushed stainless steel roll holder. The Refill Packs include three Forever Rolls, so you don't have to worry about running out anytime soon. You'll be set for an entire season! The Forever Roll also has 32x more sheets per roll. 


You can purchase the Charmin Forever Roll Starter Kit and Refill Packs online at Target, Walmart and Amazon for around $30-$35.

Mother's Day Accessories Gift Guide 2025

Looking for some last-minute Mother's Day gifts for yourself or your mom? Check out my favorites for this spring season!


For the mom who loves to travel, customize your gift with Jet Set Candy, featuring charms, chains and necklaces. Some of the charm collections include luggage tags, passport stamps, national parks and 3D charms. There are also 3D charms with styles for everyone, whether you prefer a champagne glass, camera, stiletto, or passport charm.


Another item that's hot for spring are Marchon's Pure eyewear styles. My top pick: P-7009 eyeglasses in Lime with a cat eye shape.


Danni Ro luxury handbags are crafted in Barcelona and inspired by the city's elegance and artisanal tradition, including the Manhattan Bag, Lisbon Baby Clutch, DR Clutch and Joy Bag.


For a more luxurious gift, explore Katherine Riardant’s genuine leather handbags and accessories, crafted in Italy. Featured styles include the Salomea Bucket Bag and the Bernina Top Handle Bag. I also love the Versa Cuff Bracelet, which comes in a variety of colors such as Off White, Kelly Green, Light Pink or Paprika Red. These bracelets are made from caviar grained leather and lined with leather. 


I’m loving the spring styles from 27 EDIT Naturalizer, especially Elaine, the statement slingback. slingback in champagne gold leather. It can easily be dressed up with a skirt or dress, or paired with jeans for a more casual look. The 2 3/4-inch sculpted heel strikes just the right balance. It's tall enough to elevate your style, but comfortable enough for all-day wear. Plus, it features REZORB™ responsive cushioning that absorbs shock and provides soft, lightweight comfort. Other great spring options include the boho-inspired Jordis heel and the Zen Strappy Platform Sandal.
