I just got back from the most wonderful long weekend in New York, and things were starting to look at lot like Christmas :) I know this sentiment is categorically not allowed until after Thanksgiving, and it's not like I'm playing A Charlie Brown Christmas on repeat (yet), but the tree was going up at 30 Rock, lights were being strung all over town and window dressers were hard at work behind paper covered glass up and down 5th Ave.

She knows that the best way to anyone's heart is through their belly, especially if she touches a sweet tooth along the way.

Maybe she'll thank you with a nibble or two!
Gift Guide: The Gentleman

Gift Guide: The Mountain Man
An adventurer and outdoorsman with a love for flannel, even before those hipster kids started wearing it again. This mountain man is as at home on the river or the slopes as he is enjoying a craft beer back at the lodge. Buy him gifts that bring the mountain into his daily life plus classic tools for his next trek.
Gift guide: The Cowgirl
She's more classic than cliche, a mix of the old west and a mountain lodge. Give her gifts with a nostalgic nod to rodeo queens gone by paired with practical pieces for everyday. And maybe a rad dinosaur print thrown in.
Gift Guide: The Digi-Ninja
He's a tech guru who loves all things sleek, black and wired. He may wield a blackberry instead of nunchucks, but have you ever seen thumbs so nimble? Give him gadgets and games with a nod to his inner shadow warrior.
Gift Guide: The Hibernating Homebody
Because it's cold outside and crackling fires, homemade soups and a good pair of slippers are worth everything. Give this sofa czar something a little more chic than a snuggie - homespun and natural, just like her.
