Just in time for Valentine’s day, we are excited to announce a recent collaboration between our good friend and colleague, Beth Beattie (Beth Beattie Branding, PR, and Events), and her siblings. Danielle (Concierge Couture) and Beth were inspired to create the arrow necklace pair, a Native American symbol of friendship and loyalty. Their brother, Greg Beattie of Gregory James Jewelry, brought their inspiration to life, in this beautiful one-of-a-kind creation!
Why not keep one and give the other to your bestie or special someone? $190 for a pair and $95 for individual. Click here for more information or to purchase.

One of our beautiful brides that is getting married next year is adding another item to her already fabulous repertoire: blogging! Hollen is basically a “gift guru,” and it’s only fitting that we plug her gift blog now, during the holiday season, so you can gather some more ideas for those remaining on your list. She updates her finds almost daily on Hollen Picked, so be sure to keep going back for more! And, if you’re still having trouble dreaming up the perfect gift, Hollen will personally help you find it!

With Thanksgiving behind us and the holiday season looming, the search is on for the perfect gifts for Mom, hubs, your girlfriends and the rest of your clan. Our favorite place to gather ideas is over at New York Mag’s “Shop-a-Matic.” They have 150 unique gift ideas for everyone on your list, even for the most discerning recipient who already has it all! We love the “One Line a Day” journal to give to your best gal pal or the bride-to-be as she counts down the days leading up to the wedding and then the “newlywed” days thereafter. What’s your favorite??

Recently, we received a gift from a little jewelry store called “Femmegems,” which is based in both Greenwich, CT and Manhattan. It was such a cute gift that we went searching on their website for more ideas, and found out that they have jewelry making parties at each of their locations. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but it certainly isn’t. They provide wine, sparkling water, and plenty of hors d’oeuvres (different price ranges for what you fancy), as well as the necessary staff to assist you make whatever piece of jewelry you desire. And even if you aren’t very creative, their staff will give advice and tips while you string your “gems!” Such a cute and different idea for your next gal pal’s bachelorette!
