This gem of an etiquette manual consists of 92 pages of etiquette rules that are each addressed concisely, in a refreshing and memorable way, and accompanied with colorful, hand-drawn artwork. The manual reinforces the basics, but provides specific, practical information that will prove undoubtedly useful for any reader. For example, it includes a a list of suggested gratuity rates for numerous situations, as well as increased rates for the holiday season. The book also touches on often-forgotten rules, modern-day rules for social media, and situations we all hope never (but very likely will) happen to us!

This book is a great gift because it is an enjoyable read, as well as a guidebook; it is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Also, use this book to add a hint of color to your living room or bedroom by placing it on a coffee table, side table, or bookshelf. It is sure to spark the interest of any curious guest.

More Gifts....


Different Like Coco
by
Elizabeth Matthews
$16.99

Called "lively and inspiring" by the New York Times, this children's book about the life of fashion icon Coco Chanel tells her life story while impressing upon its readers that to possess unique qualities is to be given something special; a gift worth embracing.


Vogue: The Covers
$48.00

A beautiful book celebrating 600 of Vogue magazine's covers.

Manners
by
kate spade
$20.00

If you are looking to reinforce the seemingly bland array of rules you've nagged your daughter about since she came out of the womb, this catchy collection of rules is for you! If you are looking for a "go-to" guide to keep at home for place setting, correspondence, and for etiquette questions in a broad span of social situations, then buy Emily Post. However, this book provides an appealing and delightful retreat from Post's dense - albeit necessarily thorough - etiquette bible, the sheer size of which can be overwhelming, and certainly unappealing to any reader irrespective of age. This book touches on rules for everyday living and obscure situations, and does so in a memorable way. It also reiterates to the reader the common sense, yet undeniably important, standards of courtesy and politeness, the importance of which is far too often undermined in today's world.


The Perfectly Dressed Gentleman
by
Robert O'Byrne
$15.00

Tie or no tie? This book is a great guide for the men in your life.

Martha Jewelry Roll - $44 - featuring two spacious zippered compartments, a cylindrical zipped case in matching leather, and protected sueded compartments for earrings and rings. Like the Virginia, this makes a very nice gift. It comes in black, blue curacao (turquoise), cornsilk yellow, highland green, honeysuckle pink, orange, mariner blue, mckintosh red, raspberry, skye blue, sugar coral, teal, and winter white.




Ipad Folio (available for ipad or ipad2) - $85 - keep your new Ipad protected in style! Available in black, brown, mckintosh red, blue curacao, teal, orange, cornsilk yellow, highland green, and sugar coral.


How to Sew a Buttom
(and Other Nifty Things Your Grandmother Knew)
by
Erin Bried
$15.00
“If you only have 15 minutes: Read a chapter of How to Sew a Button: And Other Nifty Things Your Grandmother Knew, a breezily useful guide to timeless home-ec skills: fruit canning, sock darning, bread making, cocktail mixing, and much more.”

Tis the Season


TEES BY TINA is a one-size-fits-most seamless apparel collection featuring wardrobe essentials for any outfit and every woman.  Stock up on these must-have tops that can be worn as stylish single pieces or for layering.

Shown above are the black ballet-sleeve top with scoop back and the classic turtleneck

The ballet-sleeve top can be worn many ways. It is reversible, with a scooped neckline that can be worn in the front or back. The neckline can be adjusted depending on your preference. For example, it can be worn with a high boat-neckline in the front and a plunging back. Alternatively, you can wear this top as you would a traditional ballet-sleeved leotard, exposing the collar bone and upper chest, shoulders, and back. The top can be work slightly off-the-shoulder, as well.  Additionally, the flexible seamless material allows for variation in the length of the top. The ballet top is the perfect "go-to" top because it is both comfortable and flattering, no matter how you choose to wear it! It comes in black, navy, red, white, and blush, and is $43.00.

The classic turtleneck can be worn by itself to achieve a complete look and functions as an ideal layering piece.  It comes in Navy, Ivory, Brown, and Black and is $55.00. In particular, if you (like us) have had difficulty in the past finding a reliable ivory turtleneck that is of good quality, yet sleek enough to wear by itself, look no further.

Email us to purchase other items by TEES BY TINA, including:Leggings - $38.00 (eggplant, olive, grey, black. brown, navy)
Camisoles and tanks in various styles and colors
Long-sleeved V-neck tee

The ballet top above is paired with a Crimson a-line, asymmetrical skirt by PEPPERMINT.  It has a small pattern and buttons down the front.  This skirt comes in small and medium and is $64.00.


The Black handbag pictured above is the Tonia bag by ROWALLAN OF SCOTLAND and is $270.00. This handbag is truly exquisite. It comes in Black (shown), Winter White, Brown, Teal, Blue Curacao (light turquoise), and Orange. 

The Green handbag above is the Mariella tote by HOBO. This handbag epitomizes the crisp, clean, and classic styles and colors that are hot this Winter. It comes in the color shown.
