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.

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.
