I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and are enjoyed a nice long holiday weekend. I’ve been trying to relax but there was so much to do before the snow arrived. If you’re house bound due to storms or looking for Cyber Monday deals, we’ve got our final holiday favorite things gift guide to help you finish your gift shopping online.

I had hoped to get this post up on Saturday but I decided I needed a little time off. It was Small Business Saturday but I hope you’ll continue to check out some of my favorite small business friends for your holiday shopping like Heidi Wynne, Ana Mari Ortega, Mate Gallery, Plain Goods, India Amory, Kule, and Koo De Ker.

If you follow Candice Bergen on Instagram, you’ll often see her dog Bruce and his brother Lloyd who is owned by her Chloe. I feel like these Embroidered Dog Slippers would be the perfect gift for her or any dog lover in your life. They have rubber soles so they can be worn to walk outside to pick up the newspaper or a quick dog walk.

If your parents leave cups of coffee lying around until they get cold, they might appreciate this Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug. The smart mug keeps any drink warm for 1.5 hours or all day if it’s kept on the charging coaster. You can also control the temperature with the app and it’s available in black and white.

If you plan to give cash, check, or gift card this holiday season, I think it would be nice to tuck it into one of these monogrammed leather tassel pouches. It gives the recipient something to remember you by long after Christmas and they are currently 20% off.

Can’t stop, won’t stop with the Fair Isle sweaters. This Boys’ cotton half-zip in dog Fair Isle Sweater is super cute especially if your family has a dog.

If you know a parent who hates plastic toys and accessories, this Natural Strolley would be a perfect gift for their kids. With the top attached, it’s the perfect stroller for a babydoll. If you tale the top off, it becomes a chic wagon for toys.

The world traveler in your life would definitely appreciate the lightweight travel cubes and bags from the eco-friendly brand Paravel. Most of their pieces are made from recycled plastic bottles.

I don’t know any woman who wouldn’t want a new pair of pajamas especially if they were as pretty as this. Garden Pajama Set. And better yet, they are 50% off with the code CYBER.

If anyone you know loves the vintage travel magazine Holiday that was published from 1946-77, they will love the new book Holiday: The Best Travel Magazine that Ever Was by Pamela Fiori.

The pearl earrings I wear every day were bought on a trip to Florence and everyone always asks me about them. A very similar pair are these Round Pearls on Hook by Ana Mari Ortega and they are a great price at $98. Even better, Ana has generously offered HC readers 20% your entire order with the code HC20. Enjoy!

UPDATE: These earrings sold out very quickly. Ana is trying to get more in stock for next week. If you want to be put on the wait list, please contact her directly at ana@anamariortega.com. Sorry for any inconvenience!

If you are going to give jewelry as a gift, why not include one of these chic monogramed small travel jewelry cases. It would make the gift much more special.

A great stocking stuffer is this Andy Warhol inspired Campbell’s Soup Can filled with 18 crayons for only $10. You can also find it here.

I posted a La Mer gift set in another gift guide but this La Mer Mini Miracles Set is much cheaper at $90 so it might be a better gift option for some people. It would also be nice to give out to all the ladies in your life.

This girls’ long-sleeve smocked dress in Black Watch tartan would be perfect holiday parties paired with white tights and patent leather Mary Jane shoes.

These gilded gemstone necklaces in green, white, and black would make a great stocking stuffer and the shagreen clutches are more big ticket present.

Know someone who’s a client of Savile Row or just wishes they were? Then they might enjoy Henry Poole & Co.: The First Tailor of Savile Row a look at one of the most venerable tailors in London.

I’ve posted this Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth Speaker before but that’s because it makes such a great gift for anyone who wants to listen to music with their friends. It’s perfect for the golf course, a boat, or even a backyard. It’s also 30% off right now.

I’ve never seen anything funnier than this Star Wars R2-D2 Instant Pot Duo 6-Qt. Pressure Cooker. There is actually a bunch or Star Wars themed products available for the Star Wars obsessed family member in your life.

This leather weekend bag would elevate your man’s travel game and it’s currently 50% off with the code MONDAY which makes it a great deal.

This Oslo Sweater is a chic take on the classic Fair Isle sweater for the women who enjoys sipping a cocktail in front of a roaring fire.

The classic designer lover would definitely appreciate Zuber: Two Centuries of Panoramic Wallpaper.

The elegant woman in your life would appreciate this new Aerin Beauty Rose Cocoa Parfum. It’s the perfect warm winter perfume.

If you can’t have a real tree but still want the smell, I suggest the Lucia Douglas Pine Collection. The Pomander would make a nice gift too.

While most people admire Lauren Santo Domino’s sartorial style, I always admire her table settings. She’s now had one of her favorite vintage place settings reproduced in Italy for all to enjoy. The Moda Domus collection is only available for pre-order but there are other options that are available now.

This NuFace Trinity Mini Shimmer All Night Set is great for the girl on the go who wants to look refreshed after traveling or a night on the town.

Backgammon is such a great game to play over the holidays and this Color Play Backgammon is a fun board to get kids interested in it too.

If your mom has had the same arm weights since Jane Fonda was breaking a sweat, she would love these Bala Bangles Fully Adjustable Wearable Wrist & Ankle Weights. They come in eight different jazzy colors and plain black. Add the Backslash Fit Smart Yoga Mat that rolls itself up for bonus points.

My friend Eva Chen has just released her third book Juno Valentine and the Fantastic Fashion Adventure with illustrator Derek Desierto. It’s perfect any little people on your gift list.

Loog Guitars started as an academic project in 2010 when Rafael Atijas developed the concept as his Master’s thesis at New York University. Now your budding rock star can learn how to play the three string guitar using the flash cards provided or through videos on their app.

Any lover of interior design would appreciate Interiors – The Greatest Rooms of the Century. It includes more of 400 of the world’s best living spaces created by over 300 of the most influential people in interior design in one luxurious book with four different cover colors.

If one of your friends or family members has mentioned wanting to find a new hobby, how about giving them this L’Ecole des Beaux Arts Watercolor Travel Set.

The littlest ones would look adorable in this Reindeer Fun Appliqué Play Set this holiday season.

Your fancy friend or little sister would be the perfect recipient for this Chanel Beauty on hand Manicure Set. It includes their amazing hand lotion and nail polish in Ballerina with a longwear top coat in a chic red pouch. I think I buy myself this one too.

Be the cheeriest person during the holidays in this Lingua Franca Be Merry Cashmere Sweater.

I wish there were cars like this chic vintage inspired Classic Pedal Car when I was little!

If you have a family ski trip scheduled over the holidays, this Women’s Fair Isle Rollneck Sweater would make a great gift for the girls since it’s available in three different colors.

This beautiful pinecone wreath would make a wonderful hostess gift or send one to all your relatives for a special surprise. It’s also 25% off right now with the code THANKFUL.

I had my birthday dinner at the Peninsula Grill in Charleston, South Carolina this April because of their Ultimate Coconut Cake. It can be sent for next day delivery to ensure freshness but it’s best served at room temperature. Send one as a gift and one to yourself to serve your family. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

If you know anyone in New York and are wondering what to get them, I suggest a membership to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The basic membership of $110 allows the member to bring a guest for free so it’s an amazing two for one deal. The Member with Evening Hours membership is $210 and gives them two cards and allows for two guests which could be a great option for a family. And if you don’t live in New York, you can always give a membership to your local museum. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Happy Shopping and Happy Holidays!

XOXO,

HC
