Makeup bags are perfect for gift giving. Whether a woman travels, or just likes to carry a few essentials around in her daily handbag they’re a life saver to keep things organized. You know I’m all about choosing unique pieces, and feel the same with makeup bags! I thought this makeup pouch from TexturaCollection was so amazing. The design is so modern, and doesn’t look like any other makeup pouch. The designer behind TexturaCollection started out in graphics and has translated that into gorgeous makeup and handbags. Makeup pouch is $33.

For the eclectic woman, these mismatched earrings from Reason to Be Pretty are perfect. Reason to Be Pretty was created by Nophar Haimovitz. All pieces are handmade with a bohemian, eclectic vibe.

Ok, seriously how INSANE are these earrings? I’ve always loved exploring Etsy for unique, handmade pieces and when I stumbled upon Zozi Jewelry and saw these gold ear jacket earrings my jaw dropped! I’ve never seen earrings like this design, which is why I think they are such a great gift item. With their edgy look they’re a great statement piece for a casual, or more formal occasion. The designer behind the jewelry has lived and traveled all around the world, giving her a unique design aesthetic that really stands out in every single piece. Ear Jacket earrings are $65

IDesign recently introduced a collaboration with Israeli artist Vered Rosen, with flower art rings. Vered Rosen is a highly respected photographer and modern art curator in Israel. The two talents came together to create these gorgeous, cutting-edge floral rings.

I’ve always loved classic designs that implement an edgy twist to them for a modern feel. This flower ring is made of 14k gold and is $389.

 
Back drop necklaces are such a fun and different take on accessories, especially this one from Shirliclassicjewelry. If there’s a woman in your life that has a large jewelry collection, this type of piece is perfect to give her something new to wear. This is a perfect piece for a formal event, with a low back dress. I also am totally obsessing over this brand’s cartilage earrings. Back drop necklace is $145

Serving dishes are a great gift to give to someone who entertains or cooks a lot! They’re pieces that are incredibly functional. Just like fashion, I personally love to find serving platters that are innovative in their design to really stand out. When I saw this serving dish from FreeFolding I thought it was perfect for gifting! The entire shop is filled with contemporary, handmade ceramic pieces that really stand out in any kitchen. I may have to add these gorgeous espresso cups to my shopping list. White ceramic serving dish is $68

These gold wing ear cuffs by ShirlifantasyJewelry are showstoppers!  Shirlifantasy is another jewelry line created by the designer of Shirliclassi (above). The designer, Shirli, has three different jewelry lines ShirlifantasyJewelry is her Celtic and Elven style. Shirliclassijewelry offers more classic designs and her third line, ShirliGoldJewelry consists of pieces all made of 14k gold. One thing that’s consistent throughout all three lines is the uniqueness of the designs. Shirli is so innovative in her designs, in addition to the gold wing earrings I can’t get enough of this nose cuff. Gold wing earrings are $68

Denim is a favorite for every woman, but purchasing denim as a gift can be a bit tricky with sizing. I just found this super unique company, Blue Bell Denim that turns denim into totally new pieces like accessories! I’m really in love with the patchwork detailing on the clutches. They add a casual, edgy look to an outfit instantly. Pieces are one-of-a-kind so you know that giving these pieces as gifts will be even more special. The designer started her company from her love of denim, and eagerness to create pieces that are unique and eco-friendly. Patchwork clutch is $218.

Candles always make a great gift because, who doesn’t love candles? I’ve always enjoyed giving candles to hosts during the holidays. When I saw these gorgeous candle holders from 1220CeramicsStudio I thought these would be a perfect addition to a candle as a gift. Giving a handmade holder in addition to a candle is a great way to make the gift extra special. 1220CeramicsStudio is known for their minimalist designs, allowing the pieces cater to everyone. But as an extra fun surprise they even double as a succulent planter! Candle holders are $32.

Choker necklaces are a huge trend right now, and when I saw this Cleopatra style choker from Shulili I couldn’t get enough. The pieces that Shulili creates are works of art, like sculptures! All of the pieces are created to be lightweight and come with easy to close magnetic closures. I love that this brand has found a way to make statement pieces easy to wear and lightweight, as this isn’t always the case with statement jewelry.Cleopatra choker is $149.

Collecte handbags are my total obsession right now – seriously how gorgeous are these bags?! I can’t stop using mine and I’m gifting one to my bestie this holiday season. She’s going to be getting the mini version of the design, the small Uracca, I have and I can’t wait to give it to her to enjoy!
