Hello Friends!!!!

I have been excited for weeks about this post. I have put together the perfect Christmas Gift List for you guys. You… the creative, smart, DIYer, lover of style and color. I feel like Oprah sharing my favorite things. Gifting is so much more than just the physical exchange of objects — it’s a way to communicate to the recipient of the gift that you like them…or really like them. Put some thought into it and choose a meaningful present. Lucky for you, I have teamed up with 24 other bloggers to present this awesome Holiday Gift Guide just for you.

Each day of this week, talented bloggers are sharing their own Holiday Gift Guide. Plus, each blog is giving away something from their Gift Guide. Be sure to check out and enter to win gifts from the other 24 blogs listed below.

The Perfect Holiday Gift Guide

1. For the Fashionista - A Statement Necklace

Every girl needs to add a little va-va voom to her wardrobe. The easiest way to accomplish a stylish and chic look is with a bold statement piece. A standout necklace can transform a simple shirt or a little black dress into a pulled together look. The stylish “Marion” necklace above is made by Towne and Reese. Towne and Reese offers fashion-forward accessories that are not only stylish, but affordable. Give the gift of a memorable piece that adds style to any wardrobe. Do you think that this necklace would look good on your neck? Towne & Reese is giving this beautiful necklace to one of my lucky readers. Keep reading for contest details.

2. For the Creative Type - Art

Some people get completely overwhelmed with purchasing art, but there is no need. The piece above is by painter and illustrator Shannon Newlin. Artist Shannon Newlin creates affordable and beautiful prints that will fit into any interior. I have one of her pieces in my dining room and always get compliments. Check out her beautiful prints at her Etsy shop. Oh Yeah, she is giving this print away to one lucky Paper Planes NYC reader. Don’t forget to enter the contest below.

3. For the person who has too much stuff - Organization

I can’t think of anyone who would not want some organization in their life. I would love about 4 of these Ikea carts to help me wrangle art supplies, books, tools, games , cleaning supplies…..I could go on and on.

4. For the Bookworm - A Library

Amazon now offers a FREE Kindle Reading App that you can download on any device. I am a huge reader and love, love , love this app. I am never without a book to read and can download e-books for a fraction the price it would cost to purchase a “real” book. A great gift idea for a reader like me, would be a link to the free Kindle app and an Amazon Gift Card.

5. For the Super Cool Person - New School Instant Camera

Kids, Grandma, Tweens, Friends and Family would all love a new school instant camera. This little Mini Fujifilm Instax 90 is cute, compact and has great reviews. This would be a hit for holiday parties. Love it!

6. For the Person who has everything - Personalized Portrait Stamp

Stamp Yo Face creates a hand drawn image of a your loved one’s face and turns it into a rubber stamp. The face stamp can be used on anything from letterhead, invoices to love letters. I can think of a few people that would love to stamp their faces on everything.

7. For the Entertainer - Pretty Cocktail Napkins

H & H Collective creates these 100% Linen washable cocktail napkins. These cocktail napkins transform a normal night into a chic and instantly pulled together event.

8. For the New Mama - DIY Baby Mama Gloves

Create these Baby Mama knuckle tattoo gloves for the busy Mamas in your life. I am going to guarantee it will be one of their favorite gifts that they receive this year.

9. For Little Ladies - A Sophie & Lili Doll

I heart these flip dolls by Sophie & Lili. Even though my house is full of rowdy boys, I am a loyal Instagram follower of Sophie & Lili. These soft, cotton screen-printed dolls feature a mermaid, princess, or fairy on one side — flip her skirt over to reveal a sleeping/dreaming version with satin eye mask. Pretty darn cute.

10. For the Environmentally Conscious Trend Setter - Wooden Accessories

If you want to give a stand-out modern gift, you need take a peak at Havok Designs. This little shop creates unique, minimalistic wooden treasures that are quirky and fun.
