For the women in your life

Personalized Jewelry Box Italian Velvet
This absolutely gorgeous velvet jewelry box makes me want to go out and buy a whole bunch of jewelry! This little guy is perfect for travel as well. Buy one for all the ladies in your life and if you don't add a little something, something on the inside, stuff in some cash 😉

Felted Alpaca and Lambswool low-back slippers
I do not go barefoot in my house…ever, so always have a pair of slippers on hand. These slippers look as soft as they feel.

Floral Cosmetic Bag
I am in the market for a new cosmetic bag and I love pouches in general, I use them for travel etc. Pretty is definitely the theme for this entire list of Etsy finds and this and this cosmetic bag fits right in.

Personalized Embroidery Felt Bookmarks
I have had this in my holiday gift guide for years! I have one and use it whenever I read a physical book, or for a magazine, or for holding a page in a journal.

Burnt Red Leather Backpack
Made from upcycled materials this unique backpack has a very cool-looking design and is in my Etsy shopping cart!
For the perfect hostess

Personalized Candle Gift Box
Wow, this candle could be used for so many occasions! I love how personalized it is! And elegantly beautiful. Candles are perfect for anywhere in the house and this one is special.

Personalized tea cup + saucer
I want to drink my coffee out of this delicate tea cup every day. How can life be boring with this fancy cup and saucer to start your day? I never thought of myself as much of a girly-girl, but this personalized cup makes me wanna!

Personalized Charcuterie Cheese Board
Personally, I would put “Bon Appétit” but of course, you can put the name of your receiver on this lovely cheese board. (I love charcuterie!)

Flowers Triple Milled French Soap Set
Give the gift of a little bit of French, or at least some of the most iconic fragrances of the south of France! These soaps will be greatly appreciated in the guest powder room or as a luxurious main bathroom staple.
Travel Finds
As an avid traveler, I am always on the hunt for travel gear and accessories that are functional and have a bit of personality! Here are my picks from Etsy's travel edit.

Bon Voyage with Leather Strap
I never paid attention to my luggage tag, but I recently got a personalized one, and it totally makes a difference when it comes to finding my bag and claiming it as mine to the world!

Travel Makeup Brush Holder
I separate my brushes from the rest of my toilet kit so that they don't get dirty and I love this faux leather holder which slides into the backside of my kit.

Tech Pouch
In the past, I used a packing cube for my tech, but it was too big and everything got all tangled up. Now I use a tech puch and life with my tech is so much simpler!

Travel Journal and Organizer
I am super finicky about the condition of my journal so I love the idea of keeping my journal and my special pens organized together so they can be protected from my bag as I travel. My Paris Travel Notebook fits inside perfectly!
Don't like my picks? No problem I am sure you will find something that matches your preference and style Etsy has it all – go get it!
